Eaton 1380-15-D Electromagnetic Door Holder with Universal Arm, 24V DC, 100Kgf, 150mm

The Eaton 1380-15-D electromagnetic door holder is a robust solution engineered for fire safety and access control systems in commercial and industrial environments. This device is designed to hold fire doors in an open position during normal operation, ensuring seamless traffic flow, while providing an automatic release mechanism that allows the door to close securely when triggered by a fire alarm or power interruption. With its 24V DC operating voltage and a substantial holding force of 100Kgf, it provides reliable performance in demanding safety applications.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this electromagnetic door holder is its high-strength holding capacity, which ensures that heavy fire doors remain securely positioned until an emergency event occurs. The inclusion of a 150mm universal arm offers significant installation flexibility, allowing the device to be mounted in various configurations to suit different door frames and wall layouts. Its durable construction is built to withstand continuous operation, providing a long service life and consistent reliability in critical fire protection systems.

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 in environments where the power supply is unstable or does not meet the 24V DC requirement, as it relies on electrical current to maintain the holding force. It is also not suitable for applications requiring manual locking mechanisms, as it is strictly an electromagnetic retention device.

Key specifications

• Operating voltage: 24V DC
• Holding force: 100Kgf
• Arm length: 150mm
• Application: Fire safety and access control

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician in accordance with local fire safety regulations. The electromagnetic unit is typically mounted to the wall or floor, while the armature plate is attached to the door leaf. Ensure the universal arm is adjusted correctly to allow the armature plate to make full contact with the magnet face when the door is open. Once installed, connect the device to the fire alarm control panel or a dedicated power supply. The door will be held open as long as the power is supplied to the unit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your fire alarm system or power supply provides a constant 24V DC output.
• Ensure the door weight and closing force are compatible with the 100Kgf holding capacity.
• Check the mounting surface to ensure it can support the physical weight and force of the door holder.
• Confirm that the 150mm arm length is sufficient for your specific door and frame geometry.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the contact surfaces of the magnet and the armature plate to ensure they remain clean and free of debris, as any obstruction can reduce the holding force and compromise the safety function of the door holder.
