1. Producte acabatview
The Aiphone EL-12S electric door strike is designed to work in conjunction with an access control system (sold separately) to provide secure access control for doors. This device ensures that a door remains locked until an authorized signal is received from the access control system, allowing the door to be opened.
It is specifically recommended for use with wood-framed wooden doors and offers versatile installation options, supporting both surface and mortise mounting configurations.

3. Instal·lació i configuració
The EL-12S electric door strike can be installed in two primary configurations: surface mounted or mortise mounted. The choice of mounting depends on the door frame type and desired aesthetic.
3.1. Pre-installation Considerations
- Ensure the door is a wood-framed wooden door.
- Verify compatibility with your existing or planned access control system.
- Confirm power requirements: 12VAC or VDC.
- Disconnect power to the installation area before beginning.
3.2. Opcions de muntatge
Mortise Mounted: For a flush installation where the strike is recessed into the door frame. This requires precise cutting of a mortise pocket in the frame to accommodate the strike unit. The overall dimensions for mortise mounted installation are 160 x 25 x 31 mm (H x W x D).
Muntat en superfície: For installations where the strike is mounted directly onto the surface of the door frame. This method is generally simpler and does not require extensive frame modification. The overall dimensions for surface mounted installation are 160 x 50 x 31 mm (H x W x D).
3.3. Cablatge
Connect the EL-12S to your 12VAC or VDC power supply and access control system according to the wiring diagram provided in the separate detailed installation guide (not part of this manual). Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.
Power consumption is 125mA using AC power and 200mA using DC power.
4. Funcionament
The Aiphone EL-12S Electric Door Strike operates as a component of a larger access control system. It does not function independently.
- When the door is closed, the door latch engages with the strike, securing the door.
- Upon receiving an authorized signal from the connected access control system (e.g., card reader, keypad, intercom system), the electric strike mechanism releases, allowing the door latch to move freely and the door to be opened.
- Once the door is closed again, the strike automatically re-engages, securing the door until the next authorized signal.
Refer to your access control system's manual for specific instructions on how to grant access and integrate with the EL-12S.
5. Manteniment
The Aiphone EL-12S Electric Door Strike is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure its longevity and proper function.
- Neteja: Keep the strike mechanism free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspecció: Periodically inspect the strike for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure the mounting hardware remains secure.
- Lubricació: The internal mechanism is generally self-lubricating. Do not apply oil or grease unless specifically instructed by Aiphone technical support.
For any issues requiring internal access or repair, contact qualified service personnel or Aiphone customer support.
