Proper alignment of the armature plate is critical for the optimal performance of your dormakaba BML-8371 electromagnetic lock. Here's how to ensure correct alignment during installation: First, allow the armature plate to move. It should pivot on the central mounting bolt to align with the magnet surface. Incorrect alignment can reduce the lock's holding force or prevent it from functioning. Second, pay attention to the rubber washer. The armature mounting bolt has a rubber washer that should slightly extend beyond the armature plate. This washer helps break the air vacuum when power is removed. Do not remove or trim this washer, as it could impact the lock's holding force. Third, check the alignment. If the armature plate isn't aligned, adjust the armature plate mounting bolt by a quarter turn and recheck. Always follow the armature plate mounting instructions in the template and the dormakaba BML-8371 installation manual. Ensuring proper alignment will maintain the reliability and effectiveness of your dormakaba BML-8371 electromagnetic lock.
