Door Handing Determination
The position of the Electric Strike in the door
jamb will be the same for a right-handed door
and a lefthanded door. For these installations,
the Electric Strike position in the door jamb
will be as shown in Figure 3.
In a similar manner, the position of the Electric
Strike in the door jamb will be the same for a
lefthanded reverse bevel door and a right
-handed door. For these installations, the
Electric Strike position in the door jamb will be
as shown in figure (4).
NOTE
The EN Electric Strike must be installed with
coil assembly up (wiring toward top of unit). In
this position, the Electric Strike will be locked
without power, Fail Secure, or locked with
power, Fail Safe action. Before performing
Handing Procedure, view Electric Strike in up
position (wire leads at top) to determine if a
handing change is required.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
- For new or replacement installation in wood
or metal jambs.
1. Verify that voltage rating of Electric Strike is
compatible with supply voltages of installtion.
Coil voltages are color coded.

2. Using template supplied with Electric Strike,
mark door jamb for cutout and screw holes.
NOTE
For proper installation, center line of latches must
be aligned with center line of Electric Strike.
3. Prepare door frame (cut out jamb if
required) for Electric Strike. Leave sufficient
space for splicing between power supply
wiring and Electric Strike wiring.
4. If required, run new wiring to door frame
mounting hole. See figure 10 for typical wiring
installations. Refer to wiring chart below for
correct wire size. (Total wiring length includes
routing to door-release push button).

NOTE
For DC operation, to obtain an audible
signal when Electric Strike is energized,
install buzzer type BZ-12 for 12VDC
operation, or BZ-24 for 24VDC operation
(purchased seperately), as illustrated in
figure 10. 5. Hold Electric Strike upright
(wiring toward top) and determine if
handing is required. If so, perform handing
procedure.
6. Splice Electric Strike wiring to supply
wiring. Secure with wire nuts (supplied).
7. For wood and aluminum door jambs, drill
pilot holes for securing Electric Strike to
door jamb. For steel and aluminum door
jambs, secure Electric Stike to existing
mounting tabs.
8. Install Electric Strike into door jamb and
secure with flat head mounting screws
(supplied).
9. Verify that door operates correctly when
Electric Strike is energized and not
energized.
NOTE
1. Rectifier can be located either between
transformer and push button, or between
push button and electric strike.
2. Use either a silicon rectifier or a current
regulating rectifier for converting the AC
voltage at the transformer secondary to
the DC for operating the electric strike.
