- Door position feedback
- Tamper detection
- Lock engagement verification
Operational Flexibility
Features Relock Time Delay (RTD) input for controlled re-locking sequences and accepts both 12 V DC and 24 V DC power inputs for compatibility with various access control panels and power supplies.
- Configurable delay timing
- Dual voltage support
- Panel compatibility
Deployment / Use Cases
The SDC EMLock 1500 magnetic lock is designed for commercial and institutional access control applications where reliable door securing and monitoring are essential. Its feature set addresses security requirements across multiple environments while maintaining installation flexibility.
Typical deployments include securing interior and exterior doors in office buildings, educational facilities, healthcare institutions, and government buildings. The lock's sensor capabilities make it particularly suitable for doors requiring monitoring for security compliance or safety protocols, while its dual-voltage operation allows integration with both legacy and modern access control systems.
Physical Profile
The lock presents a compact, rectangular profile with clean lines and a professional gray anodized aluminum finish. This finish offers both aesthetic appeal and practical durability, resisting corrosion and wear in various environmental conditions. The substantial weight contributes to mounting stability while the precise dimensions facilitate installation planning and compatibility with standard door frames and mounting hardware.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2.75" (69.85 mm), 11" (279.40 mm), 1.56" (39.62 mm), 4.99 kg. This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What voltage does the SDC EMLock 1500 magnetic lock require?
The SDC 1511VDBL EMLock 1500 operates on low-voltage DC power and is compatible with both 12 V DC and 24 V DC inputs. This dual-voltage capability provides installation flexibility, allowing the lock to work with various access control panels and power supplies without requiring voltage-specific models.
What security monitoring features does this magnetic lock include?
This lock integrates three key monitoring sensors: a Door Status Sensor (DSS) that reports whether the door is open or closed, an Anti-tamper Switch that detects physical attempts to compromise the lock, and a Magnetic Bond Sensor (MBS) that verifies proper electromagnetic engagement between the lock and armature plate.
Can I control when the lock re-engages after being released?
Yes, the lock includes a Relock Time Delay (RTD) input that allows configuration of the delay period before the lock re-engages after being released. This feature enables controlled access sequences and can be integrated with access control systems for timed re-locking operations.
What are the physical dimensions and weight of this magnetic lock?
The lock measures 11 inches in width, 2.75 inches in height, and 1.56 inches in depth (279.40 mm × 69.85 mm × 39.62 mm). It weighs approximately 4.99 kg, providing substantial mass that contributes to mounting stability and overall durability in commercial installations.
What finish and color options are available for this lock?
The SDC EMLock 1500 features a gray anodized aluminum finish. This anodized treatment provides corrosion resistance and maintains a professional appearance suitable for commercial environments.
