Prepare the Door for the Electric Strike
Follow these instructions only if you are using an electric strike to
unlock the door. If you are using the main relay to activate a garage
door, automatic gate, etc., skip this section. The new electric strike
should be checked to verify compatibility with existing door hardware
prior to installation.
1. Remove existing strike.
2. Follow directions included with the strike for preparing the
doorjamb.
3. Do NOT mount the strike at this time.
Installing the Control Module
1. Connect the Wiring Cable to Terminal Strip “A” following the color
sequence on the circuit board. (Appendix A – page 30.) NOTE:
If the wiring cable has been cut shorter than 15 feet, the tan wire
will become exposed. The tan wire is NOT used with the KE-265.
2. Connect 12 to 24 Volts AC to Terminal Strip “B” to screws marked
“12-24V AC/DC IN”.
Note
: If connecting DC, make the connections to “DC IN/OUT”
instead of “12-24V AC/DC IN”. Make sure the polarity is correct.
IMPORTANT
: The “EARTH” screw terminal on Terminal Strip “A”
should be connected to a true earth ground for proper system
protection and operation.
