Alarm Controls 1200DE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which 1200DE model do I order for a California or Chicago code jurisdiction?
Four models cover the code variants: the standard 1200DE (HUGS compliant), the 1200DE-CA15S for California 15 second, the 1200DE-CA30S for California 30 second, and the 1200DE-CH for Chicago. Pick the model that matches the authority having jurisdiction over the opening, since the delay timing is what the code specifies. All four come in clear anodized US28 finish.
2) Do I have to pick 12V or 24V when ordering the 1200DE delayed egress mag lock?
Voltage is a required selection, 12 VDC or 24 VDC, though the board itself is dual voltage 12/24. Current draw is 825 mA at 12V DC and 490 mA at 24V DC, so size the supply accordingly. If you are running a long home run from the panel, 24V and the lower current keeps voltage drop manageable.
3) Is this magnetic lock UL listed for use on a fire rated door?
The 1200DE carries UL 10C, the standard for positive pressure fire tests of door assemblies, and UL 294 for access control system units. It is also CAN/ULC-S533 Listed, CE Certified, and RoHS compliant. If your project is in Canada, the ULC-S533 listing is the one the inspector will want to see on a delayed egress device.
4) Is there a 1200 lb magnetic lock like the Alarm Controls 1200DE that works on inswing doors or a pair of doors?
The 1200DE is specified for single out-swinging interior and perimeter exit doors. For inswing openings or double doors at the same 1200 lb holding force, the DynaLock 2050 is a single 1200 lb surface-mounted magnet listed for outswing or inswing, single or double doors, and the DynaLock 2250 is the double-magnet 1200 lb version for the same mounting conditions. Neither carries the 1200DE's delayed egress timer and voice annunciation.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Alarm Controls 1200DE if delayed egress is not required on the opening?
If the opening just needs a straight holding magnet with no egress delay, the DynaLock 2011 is a single surface-mounted electromagnetic lock for outswing doors rated at 1200 lb holding force, the same holding force the 1200DE carries. The 1200DE adds the delayed egress behavior - digital countdown display, voice message, door prop alarm, and an integrated two-function keyswitch for bypass and alarm reset - which a standard mag lock like the 2011 does not provide.
6) For a fire-rated door assembly, how does the Alarm Controls 1200DE compare with the Dorma EML310?
The Alarm Controls 1200DE is listed to UL 10C, the standard for positive pressure fire tests of door assemblies, and to UL 294 for access control system units, plus CAN/ULC-S533, CE and RoHS. The Dorma EML310 single-door 1500 lb magnet is also fire rated and is an electrically locked, fail safe device with a door position sensor. The practical difference is function: the 1200DE is a delayed egress unit with a countdown display and code-specific models, while the EML310 is a straight holding magnet.
7) What settings can be changed in the field on the 1200DE after it is installed?
Field configurable settings cover the voice message language, whether it sounds voice plus alarm tone or alarm tone only, bypass delay times of 0, 10, 15 or 30 seconds, door movement activation, and auto or manual relock. Voice messages are available in English, French/English or Spanish/English. So one unit can be tuned on site rather than swapped for a different part number.
8) How does staff release the door or reset the alarm on a delayed egress mag lock?
An integrated two function keyswitch handles both jobs on the 1200DE: bypass (request to exit) and alarm reset. There is also a digital countdown LED display so anyone at the door can see the delay running, plus a door prop alarm if the opening is left standing open. The required signage ships with the lock.
9) What can I tie the 1200DE into for alarm monitoring or head end signalling?
Two dry outputs are on board: a tamper switch rated 5A at 125/150VAC and a relay output rated 1A at 30VDC. Those are what you run back to the access control panel or the fire alarm interface for status and alarm reporting. Keep your loads inside those ratings; an interposing relay is the usual answer if the device you are driving exceeds them.
10) Does installing the 1200DE require special tools or door machining?
No special tools. It is a bracket mounted magnet, so it goes on the frame face and armature on the door leaf rather than being cut into the door. Alarm Controls publishes installation instructions and a catalog page for the 1200DE if you want the mounting detail before the truck roll. Compare that to a mortise style unit like the Schlage 320M, which is machined into a sliding door.
11) Is there a smaller or lower-force magnetic lock than the Alarm Controls 1200DE for a light interior door?
For lighter interior openings, the Schlage M420 is a single-door electromagnetic lock with 500 lb holding force, and the Dortronics 1107 is a narrow 2 inch slim line single-door mag lock at 600 lb. The Locknetics MG Series is offered in 600 lb and 1200 lb models, standard or monitored, on 12/24VDC - the same dual voltage the 1200DE runs on. Note that none of these are delayed egress devices, so they will not satisfy an opening where a timed delay is required.
12) Which electromagnetic locks look like substitutes for the Alarm Controls 1200DE but mount differently?
Several comparable magnets are not bracket-mounted surface locks and will not drop into the same prep. The Schlage 320M is a compact mortise lock for sliding doors at 1500 lb holding force. The ROFU 8031-002 is a shear lock, which is concealed between door and frame rather than surface applied. The ROFU 8512 is a single magnet on a selectable keyhole mount at 1200 lb, 12/24VDC. The Alarm Controls 1200DE is bracket mounted for a single out-swinging door and installs without special tools, so confirm the mounting style before substituting any of these.
13) Can I mix the Alarm Controls 1200DE with other brands of mag lock on the same access control power supply?
The 1200DE runs on 12/24 dual voltage, drawing 825 mA at 12V DC and 490 mA at 24V DC, and voltage is selected at the time of order. Peers on the same dual-voltage basis include the Dortronics 1000 Series with field-selectable 12/24VDC, the Locknetics MG and WMG Series in 12/24VDC, and the ROFU 8512 at 12/24VDC, so a shared supply is feasible as long as the total current draw is sized for the delayed egress unit, which draws more than a plain holding magnet of the same force.
14) What finish does the 1200DE come in for matching other hardware on the opening?
Clear anodized US28 is the standard and the only finish on the 1200DE, across all four code models. That is the usual aluminum-look match for storefront and hollow metal frames. If a dark bronze or satin stainless magnet is specified, this is not the unit, since no alternate finish is offered in the series.
