- Yes. The lock operates on either 12VDC (530mA) or 24VDC (260mA), giving you flexibility to match your existing power supply infrastructure.
- Does the lock release immediately when power is cut?
- Yes. The EM3500M-BLK is designed with no residual magnetism, ensuring the door releases instantly upon power loss — a critical safety requirement for egress compliance.
