Wiring the door strike
One reader LED (door DO) is dedicated to each reader.
The reader LED (door DO) is used for the reader LED or for
an external door strike relay.
1. Install the door strike as required.
2. Wire the door strike to the external door strike relay.
The door strike relay is connected to +12 VDC (pin 1
and/or pin 5) and door DO (pin 4 and/or pin 8).
3. Install a protection diode across the relay and the
door strike. Use 1N4002, 1N4003, 1N4004 or
equivalent diodes for DC door strikes and Metal Oxide
Varistors (MOV) for AC door strikes. See Figure 3.
4. Protection diode or MOV and blocking diode are
required at all electronic door locks.
5. Install a blocking diode on the door DO (Reader LED)
line between the reader and the door strike relay.
Use 1N5817 diode, which is included with the reader.
The diode must be installed on the secure side of the
door in order to be UL compliant. See Figure 3.
