Controlling a maglock with RFID WIZ is easy! We can even use the Vin pin on the WIZ to power the maglock.
Follow the image above to make the following connections:
- Vin to maglock + wire
- C to maglock - wire
- GND to NC
Note - this will only work with a 12V maglock.
This wiring will keep the maglock in the "locked" state until a trained card is placed in front of the reader board.
Using an external power supply
In some cases, you might want to use an external power supply. In this case, the onboard relay is acting as a switch to connect and disconnect this external power supply. This would be handy if you're powering a device that needs more than 12VDC. Follow the image above to make the following connections:
- Maglock connects to +VDC on the power supply and C on the WIZ relay
- Connect NC on the WIZ relay to -VDC on the maglock
This will work with either a 12VDC or 24DC maglock. Make sure to match your power supply voltage to your maglock voltage.
This wiring will keep the maglock in the "locked" state until a trained card is placed in front of the reader board.
