5. ELECTRIC STRIKE INSTALLATION
5.1 STRIKE INSTALLATION
THE POWER ACCESS MODEL 2300JL DOOR OPENER IS DESIGNED SO THAT THE DOOR CAN STILL BE MANUALLY
OPENED WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE UNIT. THEREFORE, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE ANOTHER MECHANICAL
FEATURE TO HOLD THE DOOR SHUT WHEN NOT IN OPERATION.
5.1.1 BLANK STRIKE PLATE
IF NO MECHANICAL HOLD IS REQUIRED, THE SUPPLIED BLANK LATCH PLATE CAN BE INSTALLED IN PLACE OF
THE EXISTING LATCH PLATE THAT IS CURRENTLY INSTALLED WITH THE DOOR HARDWARE.
NOTE
: A CABINET STYLE MAGNET OR BALL DETENT (NOT SUPPLIED) MAY BE USED TO HOLD THE DOOR IN
PLACE.

5.1.2 ELECTRIC STRIKE
POWER ACCESS MODEL 2300JL IS DESIGNED TO WORK WITH 24VDC ELECTRIC STRIKES. IF AN ELECTRIC
STRIKE IS SUPPLIED, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGING FROM THE ELECTRIC STRIKE
MANUFACTURER TO ASSEMBLE THE STRIKE AND INSTALL IT IN THE DOOR JAMB.
NOTE: BEFORE INSTALLATION MAKE SURE THE STRIKE IS SET TO YOUR DESIRED MODE
– FAIL SAFE OR
FAIL SECURE. FAIL SAFE MODE MEANS THAT IF THE STRIKE WERE TO FAIL, IT’S LATCH WILL SWING FREELY.
IF IN FAIL SECURE MODE AND THE STRIKE WERE TO FAIL, THE LATCH WILL STAY LOCKED. THEREFORE A
PERSON WOULD BE REQUIRED TO TURN THE DOOR KNOB TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE MODEL 4560S IS
PROVIDED IN THE FAIL SECURE MODE, WHICH IS RECOMMENDED.
