SUBS Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 If theres no marking on the terminals or pcb - unusual- Use a multimeter, check across the terminals, the two with around 50 ohms or so will be the coils.

jackbuchan Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Not familiar with this particular lock, but. Does it have built in monitoring?? No it just has the bracket with the mag and 4 wires coming out of it no leds etc on it ! Any ideas what size of transformer should be used to power this and does it matter if it is ac or dc power supply ?
