Connect earth ground to a ground lug or ground lead. Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch. Unit is
intended for permanent connection using metal enclosed system. A fixed product shall be connected with one of the
applicable wiring systems in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for
Electrical Installations.
Note: StrikeIt1 is intended to be permanently connected.
3. Measure aux. output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
4. For ULC applications, all interconnecting devices must be ULC Listed.
Connect panic hardware device # 1 to terminals marked [+ OUT1 --], connect panic hardware device # 2 to
terminals marked [+ OUT2 --] (Fig. 1, pg. 5). Be sure to observe polarity. For devices requiring 24VDC holding
voltage, set dip switch [SW2] to OFF, for 5VDC holding voltage, set dip switch [SW2] to ON (Fig. 3b, pg. 7).
Panic Hardware devices must be configured to Fail-Safe, maximum wire resistance for each output is 0.25 ohm (see
wiring gauge and distance chart, pg. 6). The panic hardware device operating voltage specifications must cover
20VDC to 26.4VDC range.
Note: Refer to compatible panic hardware device list, pg. 5.
5. Set lock output release time by adjusting [OUT1] and [OUT2] potentiometers. Turn potentiometer clockwise to
increase time or counter-clockwise to decrease time. Timing range is 300ms. to 30 seconds,
(unit is factory set @ 300ms.) (Fig. 3a, pg. 7).
Note: When external control of door unlock time is desired, i.e., card reader, set time to minimum
(completely counter-clockwise).
6. Connect Normally Open (NO) Dry Contacts from actuating devices such as an Access Control Panel, REX PIR,
Keypad, etc. to terminals marked [GND, IN1] and [GND, IN2] (Fig. 1, pg. 5).
Note: When triggering both Input 1 and Input 2 from a single actuating device, set dip switch [SW1] to ON for
sequential mode (100 ohm line resistance maximum).
7. Connect auxiliary devices to be powered (Keypads, REX motion detectors, electronic timers, external relays ) to the
appropriate auxiliary power output terminals. For 12VDC devices, use terminals marked [+ 12VDC --].
For 24VDC devices use terminals marked [-- 24VDC +] (Fig. 1, pg. 5).
Note: Operating voltage range of device should be 20VDC to 26.4VDC or wider.
8. Connect devices to be controlled to terminals marked [DELAYED1, DELAYED2] and/or [FOLLOWER1,
FOLLOWER2] (Dry form “A” contacts are rated @ 600mA/28VDC) (Fig. 1, pg. 5). Adjust delay time using dip switch
[SW3]
(Fig. 3b, pg. 7) (0.5 seconds with SW3 in the OFF position, one (1) second with [SW3] in the ON position).
Unit is factory set for 0.5 seconds delay.
Note: For UL/ULC applications all interconnecting devices must be UL/ULC Listed respectively.
9. To hookup the Fire Alarm Disconnect feature, wire the normally closed (NC) dry contact output from a Fire Alarm
Control Panel to the terminals marked [FACP] and [GND] of StrikeIt1.
The “FA Select” dip switch [SW4] provides two (2) modes of operation (Fig. 3b, pg. 7):
a) With dip switch [SW4] in the ON position, the application of a FACP trigger input (open circuit) while Input 1 and
Input 2 are triggered will cause the unlocked (energized) panic hardware devices to relock (de-energize).
Follower relays will release (de-energize).
b) With dip switch [SW4] in the OFF position, the application of a FACP trigger input (open circuit) while Input 1
and Input 2 are not triggered will cause the locked (de-energized) panic hardware devices to unlock (energize).
Follower relays will activate (energize). Delayed relays will energize momentarily.
Note: With SW4 in the OFF position, the application of a FACP trigger input (open circuit) while Input 1 and
Input 2 are triggered will have no affect on the operation of Output 1 or Output 2 and their corresponding
Follower or Delayed relays.
10. When using stand-by batteries, they must be lead acid or gel type. 7AH batteries will provide 30 minutes of backup
time. Connect two (2) 12VDC batteries wired in series to the terminals marked [+ BAT --].
For Access Control applications in the U.S. batteries are optional, for Canadian applications batteries are required.
When batteries are not used, loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage.
11. Mount UL Listed tamper switch (Sentrol model 3012 or equivalent) at the top of the enclosure. Slide the tamper
switch bracket onto the edge of the enclosure approximately 2” from the right side (Fig. 3, pg. 7). Connect tamper
switch wiring to the Access Control Panel input or the appropriate UL Listed reporting device. To activate alarm
signal open the door of the enclosure.
Note: Do not exceed voltage and current ratings of tamper switch. Please refer to tamper switch installation instructions.
12. Upon completion of wiring secure enclosure door with screws or cam lock (supplied).
