Hi Everyone,
I have little to no experience with electric power calculating or anything in that field, however I have been tasked with figuring out the power needs of 4 electromagnetic locks for a cabinet locking system at a friends business. Let me explain the setup:
4 - Securitron MCL-24 Electromagnetic locks (Current Draw and Voltage per unit: 62mA at 24VDC only)
1 - Trine 017TDC-2 wireless receiver (spec is below
So the goal here is to have someone press the wireless keypad and have it unlock the electromagnetic locks. I want to put all of the locks onto 1 circuit that is connected to 1 power supply.
here are my questions:
1. Can I find 1 power supply to connect to the Trine Wireless Receiver and run all of the 4 electromagnetic locks off of that.
2. Is there are way to just have the wireless receiver connect the ground relay and not run all of that power through the receiver to the locks?
3. What power conditioner would I use?
4. What would be the total power needs with 4 of these locks connected to 1 power supply?
Thanks in advance for the help. I am really in over my head here and really appreciate any info.
