ACCESS AUTOMATION Magnetic Lock CS60R - Secure Entry Solutions at Communica

Overview: CS60R Magnetic Lock for Secure Entry

The ACCESS AUTOMATION CS60R is a compact magnetic lock designed for controlled-entry doors where a high holding force is required in a discreet form factor. For South African installers, facilities teams, and advanced DIY security projects, this model offers a balance of holding strength, low-profile mounting, and straightforward wiring that works well with access controllers, exit buttons, and fire alarm interfaces.

Why choose a maglock for access control?

• Failsafe operation: releases on loss of power, compatible with most access controllers.
• Simpler installation on swing or glass doors using appropriate brackets and armatures.
• Low ongoing maintenance compared with many mechanical strikes when properly installed.

Key CS60R features (at-a-glance)

When planning an installation in South Africa, confirm the chosen CS60R variant supports your controller voltage and includes the required brackets. Communica stocks door hardware and accessories across categories that help complete installations, from connectors and enclosures to power supplies - browse relevant ranges on the power supplies page.

Compatibility and system pairing

The CS60R pairs with most access controllers, push-to-exit switches, and fire interface relays. For integrated projects consider matching the lock with DIN-rail power supplies, monitored exit sensors, and backup batteries available under Communica’s power and connectors ranges. For brand and accessory options, see the brushed aluminium magnetic lock specifications and features directory to identify compatible hardware families.

Specification callouts and installation guidance

Before installation, confirm the following with measurements and site checks: door material (steel, timber, glass), frame clearance, access controller voltage, and planned cable routes. Below are practical steps and wiring guidance for South African installers.

Simple wiring diagram (ASCII)

Power and control wiring typically follows this simplified layout:

Controller (NO/COM) ---- Exit Button ---- Lock Control Input
24 VDC Supply + ---------+-----------------+-- Lock +
                         |                 |
                         +-- Controller Relay
24 VDC Supply - --------------------------- Lock -

Ensure common grounds and recommended cable gauge for run length. For runs over 10-15 m, consider 22 AWG or thicker and check voltage at the lock under load; upgrade to 18 AWG where necessary to keep voltage drop within safe margins.

Accessory bundles and compatibility tips

• Power: pair with a regulated 12/24 VDC supply sized for lock current + controller + sensors.
• Monitoring: use door position switches or auxiliary contacts if required by the access system.
• Brackets: select armature kits appropriate for door type (glass kit for frameless glass).

Compare mechanical specifications and accessory compatibility using product datasheets to ensure the CS60R meets your holding-force requirements and mounting constraints. You can browse all products to assemble a complete kit including power supplies, cabling, and fasteners.

Local procurement, lead times and support

Communica maintains stock for many access control components, but availability can vary by branch and brand. For site projects and institutional procurement, request a formal quote to include VAT invoices and delivery terms. To check stock status at the Samrand warehouse or arrange collection, use the product page stock checker or visit the homepage for guidance on ordering.

Service notes and troubleshooting

Common site issues include misalignment causing reduced holding force, insufficient supply voltage under load, and incorrect armature installation. Verify alignment with a feeler gauge and measure voltage at the lock terminals during activation. If magnetic chatter occurs, inspect mounting screws and ensure the armature plate is clean and flat.

If you need a tailored parts list or volume pricing for multiple doors, Request a Quote from your procurement team and include door type, controller model, and desired lead time to get an accurate response.
