VIP 5500 OPEN ARCHITECTURE MORTISE LOCK
INSTALLATION MANUAL
Suggested wire raceway:
1/2” hole into top of mortise pocket.
Wiring will exit toward inside
through this hole.
FSE & FSA HARD WIRED MODELS REQUIRE WIRING TO BE RUN
TO THE MORTISE POCKET FROM THE HINGE SIDE. BELOW IS A
SUGGESTED WAY TO DO THIS. A DOOR CORD OR ELECTRIC
HINGE OR TRANSFER DEVICE MUST BE USED TO GET WIRING
FROM THE FRAME TO THE DOOR. NOTE THAT WHEN USING AN
ELECTRIC HINGE IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE POWER
WIRES BE DOUBLED OR TRIPLED UP (ON BOTH THE POSITIVE
AND GROUND LEGS) TO AVOID SIGNIFICANT VOLTAGE DROP
THROUGH THE THIN WIRES IN THE HINGE.
