4. Setup and Installation
Installation of the HES 7000C-630 Electric Strike Kit requires electrical and mechanical expertise. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional to ensure correct operation, compliance with local building codes, and optimal security performance.
4.1 General Installation Considerations:
- Door Frame Compatibility: Suitable for metal and wood door frames.
- Lock Type Compatibility: Works with cylindrical latchbolts and rim exit devices.
- Faceplate Selection: Choose between the 791 faceplate (ANSI 4-7/8") or the 792 faceplate (7-5/16") based on your door frame and existing lock hardware.
- Voltage Connection: Ensure correct wiring for either 12V or 24V AC/DC power supply. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with the physical product for detailed electrical connections.
- Fail-Safe/Fail-Secure Configuration: Configure the strike for either fail-safe (unlocks during power failure) or fail-secure (locks during power failure) operation as required by your security protocol. Note that pre-load accommodation is for fail-secure only.
- Horizontal Adjustability: Utilize the in-frame horizontal adjustability to ensure proper alignment with the door's latchbolt.
Always disconnect power before performing any installation or maintenance procedures.
5. Operating Instructions
The HES 7000C-630 Electric Strike operates in conjunction with your access control system to provide controlled entry and exit. When an authorized signal is received, the strike's keeper mechanism retracts, allowing the door to open. Upon closing, the door's latchbolt engages with the strike, and the keeper mechanism secures it, locking the door.
5.1 Basic Operation:
- To Unlock: Activate the access control system (e.g., card reader, keypad, push button). The electric strike will momentarily release the door's latch.
- To Open: Push or pull the door open once the strike has released.
- To Secure: Close the door. The latchbolt will engage with the strike, and the keeper will automatically return to its locked position, securing the door.
The strike is designed for smooth and reliable operation, ensuring the door closes and locks effectively behind the user.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your HES 7000C-630 Electric Strike Kit. Perform the following checks periodically:
- Cleaning: Keep the strike mechanism and faceplates clean from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the strike for any signs of wear, damage, or loose screws. Ensure all components are securely fastened.
- Functionality Check: Test the strike's operation regularly to confirm it unlocks and locks smoothly and consistently.
- Wiring: Check electrical connections for any signs of corrosion or damage. Ensure all wiring is secure.
For any complex repairs or adjustments, contact a qualified technician.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your HES 7000C-630 Electric Strike, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Strike Not Unlocking:
- Check power supply to the strike.
- Verify wiring connections are secure and correct voltage is applied.
- Ensure the access control system is functioning correctly and sending an unlock signal.
- Inspect for any mechanical obstructions preventing the keeper from retracting.
- Door Not Locking:
- Ensure the door is fully closed and the latchbolt is properly aligned with the strike.
- Check for debris or damage within the strike mechanism that might prevent the keeper from extending.
- Verify the strike is receiving the correct signal to remain in a locked state (for fail-secure).
- Intermittent Operation:
- Inspect all wiring for loose connections or damage.
- Check for fluctuations in power supply.
- Ensure the strike mechanism is clean and free of obstructions.
If problems persist after attempting these steps, contact a qualified technician or HES customer support.
