0163 Surface Mounted Rim Strike

Installations of this RIM strike qualify as “Indoor Use Only” when not continuously exposed to an outdoor environment.
Important: The 0163 Electric Strikes should never be used as a door stop.Please install stops on frame in appropriate locations.
Ensure the exit device functions as intended for life safety concerns by verifying electric strike and exit device compatibility.
Maximum latch projection is essential to obtain full holding force.
Since the RCI 0163 strike is fail secure the local Authority Having Jurisdiction shall be consulted with regard to the use of selected panic hardware to ensure emergency exit from the secured area.

Dimensional Details

Instructions

1. Determine the horizontal centerline of the exit device latch and transfer centerline to the frame stop.
2. Position the template onto the frame aligning with centerline and against the closed door. Center-punch the two mounting holes and the wire access hole as shown.
3. Drill and tap the two mounting holes and drill the wire access hole(s).
4. Test fit electric strike to ensure full latch engagement. Use provided 1/16″ spacer to maximize latch contact.
5. Make wire connections from the power source to the wire harness supplied.
   For 12VDC or 12-24VAC or 11-16VAC input power:| – connect RED and BLUE wires to positive (+),
   – connect BLACK and YELLOW wires to negative (-).
   ---|---
   For 24VDC input power only:| – connect YELLOW and BLUE wires together
   – connect RED wire to positive (+)
   – connect BLACK wire to negative (-).

If using AC power, polarity is not observed.
To meet BHMA A156.31, install the MOV provided across the positive and negative wires or terminals of the harness.
The MOV is not polarity sensitive.
NOTE: Overheated or burnt coils caused by incorrect input voltage / wire harness combinations will not be covered under warranty

6. Connect monitor wires of LM model.

7. Mount the electric strike with 1/4-20 UNC screws provided in the horizontal mounting holes (the outer slots). Adjust electric strike horizontally until exit device latch fully engages with the door closed.
   NOTE: Ensure a 1/16″ [1.5mm] clearance between exit device latch and the electric strike keeper is maintained.
   Failing to do so will preload the strike and in turn will not allow the strike to release the door upon energizing.

8. Tighten the two mounting screws and check operation. Adjust the horizontal position of electric strike as required.

9. Use the electric strike as a template to mark the two locking holes. Remove strike. Drill & tap for 1/4-20 UNC locking screws. Using the 1/4-20 UNC screws provided secure the electric strike through the locking holes.

10. A dead latch shim is provided in each hardware kit. This can be used to prevent a deadlatch from falling into the strike cavity.
    NOTE: Wire access hole locations are relative to the exit device orientation.
    NOTE: *Second wire access hole required for 0163LM only
    NOTE: Not to scale. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
