Setup and Installation

Cylinder Installation: Install a standard mortise cylinder from either or both sides as required for your application.
Trim Installation: Attach existing or new Adams Rite trim (levers or paddles) to the door, ensuring proper alignment and function with the deadlatch.
Testing: After installation, thoroughly test the deadlatch's mechanical and electrical functions, including locking, unlocking, and integration with the access control system.

Operating Instructions

The 4300 ELTACH operates in conjunction with an access control system and a standard mortise cylinder.

Access Control Operation: When an authorized signal is received from the access control system, the deadlatch will retract, allowing the door to be opened.
Key Operation: The deadlatch can be mechanically operated using a standard mortise cylinder key from either side, depending on the cylinder configuration. Turning the key will retract the latch bolt.
Lever/Paddle Trim Operation: When paired with Adams Rite lever or paddle trim, the deadlatch can be retracted by depressing the lever or paddle, providing single motion egress.
Automatic Relocking: Upon door closure, the deadlatch will automatically extend and secure the door.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your Adams Rite 4300 ELTACH Electrified Deadlatch.

Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the exposed surfaces of the deadlatch and associated trim with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
Lubrication: Lightly lubricate moving parts, such as the latch bolt and cylinder mechanism, with a silicone-based lubricant or dry graphite powder annually. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
Fastener Check: Annually inspect all mounting screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Loose fasteners can affect the deadlatch's alignment and operation.
Electrical Connections: If accessible and safe to do so, periodically check the quick connect plug-in for secure connection. Ensure no wires are frayed or damaged.
Functionality Test: Regularly test the deadlatch's operation with both the access control system and the key to ensure smooth and consistent performance.
