Overview

Altronix StrikeIt1 will operate up to two (2) 24VDC panic hardware devices simultaneously. It is designed to handle the high current surge panic hardware locking devices demand. Each lock output has an adjustable relock delay timer. It will control a pair of doors simultaneously or independently control two individual doors. It has a follower relay for each output to trigger external relays, ADA push plate switches, etc. Delayed follower relays control automatic door operators for doors that are always locked or for doors that are unlocked during the business day. In addition, two un-switched auxiliary voltage outputs are provided for powering card readers, keypads, REX PIRs, electronic timers, relays, etc. A configurable FACP interface will either provide power or remove power to the lock outputs when activated. LED status indicators are provided to monitor AC power, FACP status, and for lock output wiring supervision. Intelligent logic provides protection against accidental shorting of lock outputs.

Strikelt1 Installation Instructions:

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. The product is intended for indoor use only. For Canadian installations – shielded wiring of the appropriate gauge must be used. Unit is to be serviced by authorized personnel and de-energized
prior to opening.

1. Mount the unit in the desired location within protected premises (Maximum Wiring Distance, pg. 6). Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in the enclosure. Install two upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two upper screws, level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two holes. Remove the enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install the two fasteners. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 12). Secure cabinet to earth ground.

2. Hardwire unit: Connect unswitched AC power (115VAC, 60Hz) to terminals marked [L, N]. Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections. Secure green wire leads to earth ground. The Green “AC” LED on the power supply board will turn on. This light can be seen through the LED lens on the door of the enclosure. Keep power-limited wiring separate from non-power-limited wiring (115VAC, 60Hz Input, Battery Wires). Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided (Fig. 4, pg. 10). CAUTION: Do not touch exposed metal parts. Shut branch circuit power before installing or servicing equipment. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer installation and servicing to qualified service personnel. Connect earth ground to a ground lug or ground lead. Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch. Unit is intended for permanent connection using the metal enclosed system. A fixed product shall be connected with one of the applicable wiring systems in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations.
   Note: StrikeIt1 is intended to be permanently connected.

3. Measure aux. output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoid potential damage.

4. For ULC applications, all interconnecting devices must be ULC Listed. Connect panic hardware device # 1 to terminals marked [+ OUT1 –], and connect panic hardware device # 2 to terminals marked [+ OUT2 –] (Fig. 1, pg. 7). Be sure to observe polarity. For devices requiring 24VDC holding voltage, set DIP switch [SW2] to OFF, for 5VDC holding voltage, set DIP switch [SW2] to ON (Fig. 3b, pg. 9). Panic Hardware devices must be configured to Fail-Safe, maximum wire resistance for each output is 0.25 Ohm (see wiring gauge and distance chart, pg. 6). The panic hardware device operating voltage specifications must cover 20VDC to 26.4VDC range.
   Note: Refer to Compatible Panic Hardware Device list, pg. 6.

5. Set lock output release time by adjusting [OUT1] and [OUT2] potentiometers. Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase time or counter-clockwise to decrease time. The timing range is 300ms. to 30 seconds. Unit is factory set @ 300ms. (Fig. 3a, pg. 9).
   Note: When external control of door unlock time is desired, i.e., card reader, set time to a minimum (completely counter-clockwise).

6. Connect Normally Open (NO) Dry Contacts from actuating devices such as an Access Control Panel, REX PIR, Keypad, etc. to terminals marked [GND, IN1] and [GND, IN2] (Fig. 1, pg. 7).
   Note: When triggering both Input 1 and Input 2 from a single actuating device, set the DIP switch [SW1] to ON for sequential mode (100 Ohm line resistance maximum).

7. Connect auxiliary devices to be powered (Keypads, REX motion detectors, electronic timers, external relays) to the appropriate auxiliary power output terminals. For 12VDC devices, use terminals marked [+ 12VDC – ]. For 24VDC devices use terminals marked [– 24VDC +] (Fig. 1, pg. 7).
   Note: Operating voltage range of the device should be 20VDC to 26.4VDC or wider.

8. Connect devices to be controlled to terminals marked [DELAYED1, DELAYED2] and/or [FOLLOWER1], [FOLLOWER2] (Dry form “A” contacts are rated @ 600mA/28VDC) (Fig. 1, pg. 7). Adjust delay time using DIP switch [SW3] (Fig. 3b, pg. 9) (0.5 seconds with SW3 in the OFF position, one (1) second with [SW3] in the ON position). Unit is factory set for 0.5 seconds delay.
   Note: For UL/ULC applications all interconnecting devices must be UL/ULC Listed respectively.

9. To hook up the Fire Alarm Disconnect feature, wire the normally closed (NC) dry contact output from a Fire Alarm Control Panel to the terminals marked [FACP] and [GND] of StrikeIt1. The “FA Select” DIP switch [SW4] provides two (2) modes of operation (Fig. 3b, pg. 9):
   a) With the DIP switch [SW4] in the ON position, the application of an FACP trigger input (open circuit) while Input 1 and Input 2 are triggered will cause the unlocked (energized) panic hardware devices to relock (de-energize). Follower relays will release (de-energize).
   b) With the DIP switch [SW4] in the OFF position, the application of an FACP trigger input (open circuit) while Input 1 and Input 2 are not triggered will cause the locked (de-energized) panic hardware devices to unlock (energize). Follower relays will activate (energize). Delayed relays will energize momentarily.
   Note: With SW4 in the OFF position, the application of an FACP trigger input (open circuit) while Input 1 and Input 2 are triggered will have no effect on the operation of Output 1 or Output 2 and their corresponding Follower or Delayed relays.

10. When using stand-by batteries, they must be lead acid or gel type. 7AH batteries will provide 30 minutes of backup time. Connect two (2) 12VDC batteries wired in series to the terminals marked [+ BAT – ]. For Access Control applications in the U.S. batteries are optional, for Canadian applications batteries are required. When batteries are not used, loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage.

11. Mount UL Listed tamper switch (Altronix model TS112 or equivalent) at the top of the enclosure. Slide the tamper switch bracket onto the edge of the enclosure approximately 2” from the right side (Fig. 3, pg. 9). Connect the tamper switch wiring to the Access Control Panel input or the appropriate UL Listed reporting device. To activate the alarm signal open the door of the enclosure.
    Note: Do not exceed the voltage and current ratings of the tamper switch. Please refer to the tamper switch installation instructions.

12. Upon completion of wiring secure enclosure door with screws or cam lock (supplied).

NEC Power-Limited Wiring Requirements for StrikeIt1 Model:
Power-limited and non-power-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet. All power-limited circuit wiring must remain at least 0.25” away from any non-power-limited circuit wiring. Furthermore, all power-limited circuit wiring and non-power-limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the cabinet through different conduits. One such example of this is shown below. Your specific application may require different conduit knockouts to be used. Any conduit knockouts may be used. For power-limited applications, the use of conduit is optional. All field wiring connections must be made employing suitable gauge CM or FPL jacketed wire (or equivalent substitute).
Note: Refer to the wire handling drawing below for the proper way to install the CM or FPL jacketed wire (Fig. 4a).

Maintenance:

The unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
FACP Supervision: To ensure proper connection and operation of the Fire Alarm disconnect hookup,  remove the wire from the terminal marked [FACP] on StrikeIt1. With the  DIP switch  [SW4] in the ON position, unlocked Panic Hardware Devices will unlock. With the DIP switch [SW4] in the OFF position (Fig. 3b, pg. 9), locked Panic Hardware Devices will relock.
Output Voltage Test: Under normal load conditions the DC output voltage should be checked for proper voltage level.
Battery Test: Under normal load, conditions check that the battery is fully charged, and check the specified voltage both at the battery terminal and at the board terminals marked [+ BAT  –] to ensure that there is no break in the battery connection wires. Press the Manual test button.  The battery LED should be illuminated during the self-test (approximately 15 seconds. When the battery LED blinks slowly, this indicates that the battery is low or missing and may need to be replaced or serviced.
Note: Maximum charging current and discharge is 650mA.
Note: Expected battery life is 5 years; however it is recommended to change batteries in 4 years or less if needed.
Caution: For continuous protection against the risk of electric shock and fire hazards, replace the input fuse with the same type and rating: 6.3A/250V. Do not expose to rain or moisture; indoor use only.
