can power be on for 60 sec. without damage and will the latch retract if under any preasure

My timer sets to trigger for one minute(=60 sec) twice a day. It worked fine so far for more than three months

it will compress just like a normal door would. So in theory you could still use a credit card to get into a room locked by this. Power will keep it compressed but im not sure if it would damage it keeping power applied.

Only if there is very little pressure will it still be able to retract. And I do mean VERY little. Otherwise, no. It will bind the bolt.

Roger, I have one and I have had it powered for more than 60 seconds without damage. Also, the latch retracts freely when it isn't powered aside from the spring that holds it open which isn't very stiff.

Sorry, it has been so long since I installed it and I'm no electrician so I don't remember. I would not recommend this if you desire a 'hold' function. Mine does not work. It does not keep good time either as it turns off after less than 12 hours even when I set it all the way into the 'hold' section.

i never did it..so why not just put the min. it won't hurt anything. But i'm sure it wouldn't be a problem cuz it'll shut off when need to

Yes. Best to disconnect from power to prevent hitting on/off button.expect/prepare for slight leakage where tank meets pump assembly.

i guess if you want to be absolutley safe about it, you could install a circuit breaker. i run my direct off the battery, works fine.

It will be pass power thru as long as its switched on. If that's what your asking.

NO...that is one of the best things. just use the key fob to start and stop it and there is circuitry that delays power until the generator is up to good power (about 20 seconds) and it cuts power a few seconds before it stops so it avoids all those issues. BUT...your MUST use the key fob to enable this. I also watched the voltage meter while it was running and it was almost always 125v during normal operation. you could see the out of range voltages before it is ready and then it is good.

Yes, Automatically after 5 minutes on no movement and long as there is power supplied.

I run 2 Servers in my home office (I am an IT Consultant), plus the rest of my home on this unit. About 5 months ago we lost power for 48 hours and we ran the generator using Natural Gas. I had a couple of hiccups with some of my UPS's due to voltage fluctuation. I think it has to do with the sensitivity of the units. My older UPS units did not have an issue. I have found out from others in my field that this is common with newer units. I have APC older units and they did beep every once in awhile, but the equipment stayed on all 48 hours. The newer units did not and once the battery was used up, the equipment turned off. I don't want to give out model #'s because just because mine worked, I can't guarantee it will work for you. Once it gets warmer around here I am going to try and put surge suppressors in front of the newer units to see if that helps. If not I would try to put cheap UPS's in front of the High Capacity units. Hope that helps. BTW, I have my generator connected using a manual transfer switch and when I lost power, I was able to be on generator power in under 3 minutes.... Power went out... I went outside, removed the cover, turned on the Natural Gas, turned the key... That was it. I use a battery tender always connected to the unit so the battery is always fully charged. Total install including the generator was under $2600.

Yes. This is usually used for just computers, stereos, or tvs. It protects from surges and conditions the power supply. It also allows you time to save your work and shut down the computer safely. Depending on how many items are plugged into it, it can allow you 10-25 minutes of power.

I have found that the backup on the control panel is nothing close to 72 hours, but more likely 4-6 hours (without an external siren further draining it). I would recommend plugging both the control panel and wireless siren into a UPS with greater capacity. As stated by others, it is also better to hide the main panel and use an accessory keypad or the remotes to activate/deactivate the alarm (vs. keeping the main panel in plain view of the entryway).

It is probable however you would have to change the lock controler to its max release time so you could open and close it fast enough. My controler goes upto 60 seconds release time.

Yes that's normal. I doubt if you can disable aside from disconnecting power.

I can't imagine it would be a problem. There aren't any pre-sets, for example, that could get lost with a power interruption.

I have used it 30 mins. at a time without decrease of power. Have had no need to try usage longer than that.

I don't think so. I keep it set at 3 hours and the only way to stop it from working is to unplug it. (e.g. I only want it on for 2 hours)

Sorry, have not had it run for that long. Longest the power has been out is an hour. It ran about a dozon times in that period with no problems.
