Eaton 1369-CSA Floor-Mounted Electromagnetic Door Holder 24V DC 490N

The Eaton 1369-CSA is a professional-grade floor-mounted electromagnetic door holder engineered for integration into fire safety and access control systems. This robust device is designed to maintain fire doors in an open position during normal daily operations, providing convenience and accessibility in high-traffic areas. Upon receiving a signal from a connected fire alarm system, the electromagnetic hold is instantly released, allowing the door closer mechanism to shut the door securely and prevent the spread of fire and smoke.

Advantages

This electromagnetic door holder offers a reliable and durable solution for fire safety compliance in commercial and industrial environments. Its floor-mounted design ensures stability and ease of installation in various architectural layouts. With a holding force of 490N, it provides a secure grip for heavy fire doors, ensuring they remain open when required but release immediately during an emergency. The 24V DC operation makes it compatible with most standard fire alarm control panels, ensuring seamless integration into existing safety infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Commercial office buildings
• Industrial facilities and warehouses
• Hospitals and healthcare centers
• Educational institutions
• Public buildings requiring fire safety compliance

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use on doors that do not have an automatic door closer installed, as the holder only maintains the open position and does not provide closing force. It is also not suitable for outdoor environments where exposure to moisture or extreme weather conditions could compromise the electromagnetic components.

Key specifications

• Operating voltage: 24V DC
• Holding force: 490N (50Kgf)
• Mounting type: Floor-mounted
• Application: Fire safety and access control

How to use

The device should be installed on the floor in a position that aligns with the door's armature plate when the door is fully open. Once the electrical connection to the 24V DC power supply and the fire alarm system is established, the electromagnet is energized. To hold the door, simply open it until the armature plate makes contact with the electromagnetic surface. The device will hold the door until the power is interrupted by the fire alarm system, at which point the door will release automatically.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your fire alarm system provides a 24V DC output.
• Ensure the door is equipped with a mechanical door closer.
• Check the floor surface for compatibility with the mounting hardware.
• Confirm the required holding force is sufficient for the weight and size of your specific door.

Usage recommendations

Regularly test the door holder by triggering the fire alarm system to ensure the door releases correctly and closes fully. Keep the contact surfaces of the magnet and armature plate clean and free of debris to maintain optimal holding force.
