mortise lock pocket & prepped for a energy transfer 

hinge. 

Make sure the mortise pocket is free of debris.

STEP 4

:  Connect the wires exiting the mortise pocket to the 

Bridge Rectifier (included).

STEP 2

:  Run the wires from the ETH hinge through the 3/8” 

raceway starting at the ETH hinge & exiting into the 

mortise pocket.

STEP 5

:  Connect the Bridge Rectifier to the plug exiting the 

mortise chassis.

STEP 3

:  Screw the ETH hinge to the door. At this time 

DO NOT

 

connect the hinge wires on the jamb side to the wires 

coming from the power supply.
