Electric Strike
ES150 - Instructions
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Red coil cables 12vDC +/- 15% 243mA
Blue coil cables 24vDC +/- 15% 187mA
As the ES150 strike will normally be used on a main
exit door, we would recommend that the strike is used
in the Fail Safe (PTL) configuration. However, the
ES150 can be converted from Fail Safe (PTL) to Fail
Secure (PTO) mode. Simply remove the 2 x
crosshead screws on the side of the housing, securing
the mechanism to the body, and depress the strike
jaw. Slide the strike mechanism out from the back of
the housing. NOTE: IF THE STRIKE IS ALREADY
CONFIGURED FOR FAIL SECURE OPERATION
(PTO) YOU WILL NEED TO POWER THE STRIKE
TO ENABLE ROTATION OF THE STRIKE JAW.
With the mechanism out of the housing, remove the
screw from the top of the strike to permit removal of
the spring and 3 locking pins (1 x long & 2 x short).
It is the placement of these pins in the strike body
that will determine the mode of operation. Re-insert
pins and spring in the order required (refer to the
illustrations for guidance). Re-insert brass screw.
Apply power to the strike if required, depress the
strike jaw and re-insert the mechanism into the
housing. Replace the 2 x crosshead screws.
Replacement pins and spring kit available.
General Installation Instructions
1It is important to note that all rebate strips and/or
frame stops are to be fitted before installing the
strike.
2Check with a suitable meter that the power supply
or controller being used to operate the strike can
provide the required voltage within a +/- 15%
tolerance, and that the voltage can be maintained
during operation under all circumstances.
WARNING - CONNECTION OF AN
INCORRECT VOLTAGE MAY RESULT IN
DAMAGE NOT COVERED BY THE PRODUCT
WARRANTY.
3These strikes have been designed for use in
weather protected areas and under normal
circumstances they do not require any
maintenance. DO NOT OIL OR LUBRICATE.
4When fitting the ES150 to double door sets, the
leaf housing the strike must be securely bolted in
the closed position during installation and
operation, and a rebate strip or frame stop fitted
to prevent door travel.
5Before drilling the fixing holes, ensure that there is
no pressure exerted on the internal face of the
strike jaw by the latch when the door is closed.

Diode Connection
The use of the diode for the protection of
electrical equipment from transient voltage
strikes is recommended.
It is important that the diode is connected
correctly, otherwise a short circuit may
occur.
Illustrations A & B demonstrate two
methods by which you may understand
diodes.
Door Latch Positioning and Strike Fitting
1Position the strike on the door frame in line with
the centre of the latch (already fitted) to establish
vertical alignment. Ensure that any deadlocking
snib that may be present on the latch case cannot
enter the ‘keep area’ when the door is closed.
2Holding the strike in place, close the door and
ensure that there is no mechanical interference
between the door and the strike. A minimum
door-to-frame gap of 4mm will provide a working
gap of 1mm. If a working gap of 1mm is not
available, recess the strike into the door frame to
give the recommended clearance.
3Drill the door frame to provide a cable route from
the ES150 and connect to the controlling device.
4Using the strike body as a template, drill the
frame and fix using fixing screws to complete the
installation. Please note that the fixings screws
provided are for timber frames only. If your frame
construction is of another material, you must
select alternative suitable fixings for purpose.
WARRANTY
This product is guaranteed for a period of 5 years
against defects in manufacture, workmanship or
materials provided that all electrical and mechanical
installation requirements are adhered to as per this
instruction sheet. All third party and consequential
claims are expressly excluded from this warranty.
