Introduction and System Overview
General Operation
The Wire-Free Door Holder is battery powered and radio controlled - combining ease of installation and comprehensive safety fea-
tures to award the user with uninhibited access through buildings. A basic system consists of one control panel with 50 or more
mobile door holders under its supervision.
All door holders have a unique ID, which is logged to the control panel’s memory during enrolment. The control panel is connected
to the host fire system to detect a fire alarm. The controller continually talks to each door holder to say that its OK to hold open the
door. When an alarm is triggered, this message stops and the doors release to a safe position. The controller regularly interrogates
all units to ensure correct operation.
How to hold the door open?
Push the door so the keeper plate
makes good contact with the pole faces.

signal device, e.g. sounder or beacon, with convenient mains power)
Use the 4 screws provided and follow the dimension layout given above. Securely fix the controller to the wall but take care not to

Wiring the controller into host fire alarm or trigger circuit: The Controller must
be wired into the host fire alarm panel or a 24V circuit that switches on when
there is a fire alarm (i.e. an ancillary device). This is done by connecting either
two of the remaining four inputs (+)1 and (-)1 or (+)2 and (-)2.
Either input triggers the unit to release mode on receipt of a 24V signal.
Generally 1 is used to register an alarm signal from the host panel and the
second to register a fault in the alarm panel.
Once this is done secure the front cover to the back using the two screws.
Programming Controller
Firstly, each door holder has to be “introduced” to the controller so that they recognise each other. We call this enrolling.
We recommend that enrolment be carried out with the door holders at the controller prior to fitting them to doors. Insert the
batteries in to one unit at a time (See the page 6) and follow the instructions below.
Enrol Unit
Only one un-enrolled unit can be enrolled at a time. Ensure all other un-enrolled units have no batteries fitted.

Note the number displayed and record it on the back of the door holder. Once it is fitted behind its door, write a list of which
number door holder is located where in the building. Then if the controller ever indicates a fault with one unit it can easily be
traced.
Note This takes up to 3 mins for the door holder to change to the door holding mode from failsafe

Mounting and Wiring
Mains Power Supply : A three core wire that meets relevant wiring regulations should be used to supply mains power to the con-
troller. It should be no greater than 2.5mm2 and be brought in using one of the knockouts provided in removable inserts in the top
and bottom edge.

want to take an enrolled door holder out of your system.
Mounting Door Holder
Remove the battery cover and batteries.
Fit the door holder to a wall or floor-mounting bracket behind the fire door, at least 500 mm from the axis of the hinge. To avoid
warping the door, we recommend fitting at a height close to that of the door closer but within easy reach of the release button when
the door is open. Using the template supplied, drill three mounting holes (and insert the masonry plugs supplied if required).
Screw the mounting lug on the fixing surface as shown below. Fit the door holder to it and slide to the side to lock in place. Fit the
remaining two screws through the battery compartment.
Using four screws supplied, fit the keeper to the back of the door to line up with the steel segments of the door holder. The door
holder will adjust through 30 degrees to help alignment.
The unit is secured to the wall using three screws.
