Other menu options
Range settings
The Locca system has a built-in patent-pending
range setting system that allows the installer to
set up in seconds the different ranges that each
receiver will receive signals from the keys.
Key Point
This is major feature of the Locca system and
one of the reasons the system is so versatile.
This means that one Locca Remote Key can
be programmed into multiple Locca Receivers
in a building/area. The Locca Remote Key will
then only operate the Receiver that it is
programmed to work near to.
One Locca Remote Key can therefore be
programmed into an infinite number of receivers
(i.e. different doors in a building, garages, front
doors, gates, barriers etc.)
Setting the time delay function
Please Note: The Time Delay function is
the amount of time the electric door release
will remain unlocked (i.e. the amount of time
the relay is triggered). This can be cancelled
before the delay period ends with a second
press of the Locca Key.
Setting default sound
There are three sound functions that can be
tailored for each account:
i. Full Sound
ii. Beep
iii Sound off
Setting Language
Set the language to the territory that you require.
The range settings are as follows:
i. Full Range (around 40 metres)
ii. Medium Range (around 15 metres)
iii. Medium Short Range (around 5 metres)
iv. Short Range (around 1.5 metres)
Please note: these ranges can vary depending
on the situation: interference, materials etc.

Installation
Step 1 – Positioning
the Locca Receiver
Choose where you are going to position the
Locca Receiver.
1. It is normally best to place the Locca Receiver
near to the door/barrier/gate that the Locca
Remote Keys are operating to achieve the
optimum range.
2. Connect the two output wires to the Electric
Strike, Maglock, Solenoid Bolt, Gate, Barrier,
Garage door or other hardware.
3. Once you have chosen where you intend to
position the receiver, leave it in this location
WITHOUT FIXING IT and connect the power
input wires from the supplied Power Supply
Unit (you may need to upgrade this to the
Locca 2A PSU, if you are powering a Maglock
or similar hardware).
4. Plug the PSU into the mains.
5. At this point, you should check the range
settings. Ensure that the Remote Keys
operate the receiver in the required manner.
(It is advised that the Locca Receiver is not
installed on metal screening surfaces nor
in the vicinity of other objects or electronic
devices that may reduce the operating range
of the system).
Step 2 – Wiring the Locca
Receiver
The Locca Receiver has been designed to be the
most simple and versatile access control system
on the market.
Internal
A Circuit connector block on the back of the receiver
enables installers to configure the system in
seconds 12V to operate almost 0Vany access control
hardware.
Here are a number of the most common
scenarios where you will use a Locca Multi:

2a. Electric Strike:
The Locca system comes pre-wired for a normal

Installation
2b. Maglock or fail-safe electric strike –
(power to close):
For most Maglocks and fail-safe electric strikes,
it is advised that you use the Locca 2A Power
Supply Unit. This can be purchased from all major
security distributors.
The Locca Back-Up battery is not designed
to work with Maglocks. Disconnect the battery
before proceeding. Should you require backup
power for the Maglock, please purchase
a separate back-up power supply.
To change the wiring: Simply press on the release
button on the terminal marked N.C. (the orange
button under the pre-installed wire) to release it.
Place this wire into the terminal marked N.O.
(by pressing down on the orange button, inserting
the wire and releasing the orange button). Ensure
that the wire is firmly connected.
Attach the two wires to the maglock. Please see
the illustration below for the wiring diagram:

Step 3 – Mount and plug
in the Locca Receiver
Screw the metal mounting plate into the wall
using the screws and plugs provided. Slot the
receiver onto the mounting plate.
There is a screw at the base of the receiver that
you may tighten to prevent the receiver being
lifted off the mounting plate.
For further wiring diagrams, such as for
power door opening, electric locks etc,
please go to:

Your Locca system is now installed.
If you have not programmed the system you may
do so now (see page 3: Programming).

What Electric Release Can I use with a Locca?
The Locca Multi and Sure-Touch systems have been designed
to work with the large majority of 12Vdc fail open and fail closed releases
(e.g. electric strikes, maglocks, solenoid bolts etc.).
There are generally three main types of application where
the Locca will be used:
1. Sending Power to Open a device (fail closed).
In this situation, the supplied 350 mA Power Supply Unit will
normally suffice. The backup battery will be able to supply
up to 1.75A of current for short periods.
If the backup battery is not installed, the Locca Receiver will only be
able to power products that require up to 270mA of current to operate.
Example products: a normal 12VDC fail closed Electric Strike

Guarantee
Your Locca system comes with a free one-year
guarantee (from date of purchase) against
mechanical and electrical defects.
This guarantee is only valid if the appliance is used in
accordance with the instructions provided, and is not
connected to an unsuitable electricity supply, dismantled
or interfered with in any way or damaged through misuse.
Under this guarantee we undertake to replace free of
charge any Locca Multi system found to be defective.
Nothing in this guarantee or the instructions relating to the
product excludes, restricts or otherwise affects your
statutory rights.
In line with our policy of continuous development,
we reserve the right to change this product,
packaging and documentation without notice.
Power Output
The Locca Multi is supplied with a 350mA PSU. This can be upgraded to 2A.
Using 350mA Locca Power Adaptor supplied in pack
Maximum Continuous output current
270mA
Maximum Output current up to 10 seconds
- with backup battery installed 1.75A
- without backup battery 270mA
Using 2A Locca Power Adaptor supplied separately
Maximum Continuous output current 1.9A
Maximum Output current up to 10 seconds
2A
2. Powering a device to keep it locked (fail open).
In this situation, a continuous supply of power is required
to keep a release mechanism locked (e.g. a maglock).
For any product that requires over 270mA of continuous power,
the installer will need to upgrade to the Locca 2A PSU. With the
2A PSU, the Locca Receiver can continuously power a device with
a 1.9A requirement. In these applications, the Locca backup battery
generally should be removed.
Example products: Maglocks and Shear Locks
3. Acting as a switching relay.
The Locca receiver can be used as a simple relay that breaks
or completes an existing circuit.
In this situation, the relay is rated to switch up to 2A at 24Vdc.
Hereby, Locca Tech Limited, declares that this Locca Multi
System is in compliance with the essential requirements
and other relevant provisions of directive 1999/5/EC.
