Secure exterior perimeter openings with the Alarm Controls 1200WP Weather Resistant Magnetic Gate Lock, designed for commercial access-control applications requiring dependable electromagnetic locking in exposed environments.

Providing up to 1,200 lb of holding force, the 1200WP is ideal for compatible sliding and swinging gates. The magnetic lock is completely sealed in a stainless-steel case, while non-aluminum components are plated to help resist corrosion.

Field-configurable 12 or 24VDC operation provides flexibility for integration with commercial gate access-control systems, keypads, card readers, request-to-exit devices, and other compatible controls.

1,200 lb Holding Force

The 1200WP provides up to:

1,200 lb Holding Force

When energized, the electromagnet bonds to the armature plate to secure the gate.

This level of holding force makes the 1200WP suitable for demanding commercial and industrial gate applications where a heavy-duty electromagnetic locking solution is required.

Weather-Resistant Construction

The 1200WP is specifically designed for perimeter installations where the lock may be exposed to environmental conditions.

Weather-resistant construction includes:

• Completely sealed stainless-steel case

• Corrosion-resistant plated non-aluminum components

• Protected wire leads

• Conduit-compatible electrical connection

This makes the lock well suited for exterior commercial gate installations when installed according to manufacturer requirements.

Sliding or Swinging Gates

Alarm Controls specifies the 1200WP for both:

• Sliding gates

• Swinging gates

This versatility makes it useful for applications such as:

• Commercial perimeter gates

• Employee entrances

• Industrial facilities

• Warehouses

• Parking areas

• Secured yards

• Utility facilities

• Government properties

• Commercial campuses

12/24VDC Field-Configurable Operation

The 1200WP can be configured in the field for:

12VDC
or
24VDC

Published electrical requirements are approximately:

12VDC: 500 mA
24VDC: 250 mA

Always use a properly sized, regulated DC power supply suitable for the complete access-control system.

Magnetic Lock Operation

The 1200WP is an electromagnetic lock.

When DC power is applied, the magnet creates holding force against the armature plate and secures the gate.

When power is removed, the magnetic bond releases.

Because magnetic locks are electrically controlled locking devices, installation must include all required release devices and life-safety controls applicable to the opening.

Magnet Dimensions

Magnet Length: 9-1/16"
Magnet Height: 2-5/8"
Magnet Width: 1-1/16"

Armature Dimensions

Armature Length: 7-9/32"
Armature Height: 2-5/8"
Armature Width: 5/8"

Verify available gate and post mounting space before ordering.

Operating Temperature

Manufacturer published operating range:

+14°F to +131°F
-10°C to +55°C

Conduit Connection

The lock includes a conduit fitting with:

Inside Diameter: 1/2"
Outside Diameter: 3/4"

The fitting provides a protected path for electrical wiring entering the magnetic lock.

Mounting Options

The 1200WP can be installed using:

• Standard top mounting

• Side mounting using compatible optional L-brackets

Available mounting accessories include compatible angle and Z-bracket arrangements for applications requiring alternative armature or magnet positioning.

Mounting brackets are sold separately unless specifically included.

Access-Control Applications

The 1200WP can be integrated with compatible:

• Keypads

• Card readers

• Key switches

• Gate controls

• Access-control panels

• Request-to-exit devices

• Remote-release switches

• Timers

• Relays

• Power supplies

System design depends on the gate configuration and required access-control sequence.
