Altronix Strikelt 4 Low Current Locking Device Power Controller

Overview

Altronix StrikeIt4 will operate up to two (2) low-current lock hardware devices simultaneously. It is designed to operate motorized electric latch retraction exit devices, electric strikes, mag-locks, electric mortise, and cylindrical locksets, etc. Each lock output has an adjustable re-lock delay timer. It will control a pair of doors simultaneously, or independently control two single-door leaves. StrikeIt4 has integrated output relays that trigger automatic door operators and control ADA activation push plates/accessories. In addition, one (1) 12VDC and one (1) 24VDC unswitched auxiliary voltage output are provided for powering ancillary devices. A configurable FACP interface will either remove or apply power from the lock outputs when activated. LED status indicators are provided to monitor input status, battery condition, AC power loss, and FACP status. Intelligent logic provides protection against accidental shorting of lock outputs.

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 unit in the desired location within protected premises (Maximum Wiring Distance, pg. 5). 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). Secure cabinet to earth ground.

2. Hardwire unit: Connect unswitched AC power (115VAC, 60Hz or 230VAC, 50Hz) to terminals marked [L, N]. Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections. Secure green wire lead to earth ground. The AC LED (Green) will illuminate, indicating power is present. 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 or 230VAC, 50Hz Input, Battery Wires). Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided.
   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 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: StrikeIt4 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 locking hardware device # 1 to terminals marked [+ OUT1 –], and connect locking hardware device # 2 to terminals marked [+ OUT2 –] (Fig. 1). Be sure to observe polarity. The locking hardware device operating voltage specifications must cover 19.8VDC to 26.4VDC range.

5. Set locking device type Fail Safe DIP Switch # 1 ON, Fail Secure DIP Switch # 1 of.

6. 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 1 second to 60 seconds.
   Note: When external control of door unlock time is desired (i.e. card reader) set time to a minimum (completely counter-clockwise).

7. Set up simultaneous operation by turning DIP Switch # 2 to ON position. Input 1 will trigger both OUT1 and OUT2.

8. Connect auxiliary devices to be powered (Keypads, REX motion detectors, electronic timers, external relays) to the appropriate auxiliary power output terminals (Fig. 1) Note: Operating voltage range of the device should be 19.8VDC- 26.4VDC or wider for applicators with battery backup and 24VDC-26.4VDC for applications not requiring battery backup.

9. Connect Automatic Door Operators to terminals marked [ACT-1], [ACT-2]. Please note, those momentary outputs will be engaged only if [ADA-IN1] and [ADA-IN2] inputs are used for triggering. Duration of the pulse is selected by DIP Switch # 3: OFF: 0.5 seconds; ON: 1 second. Follower 1 and Follower 2 relay operation follows Outputs 1 and 2.
   Note: For UL/ULC applications all interconnecting devices must be UL/ULC Listed respectively.

10. To hookup 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 StrikeIt4. The DIP Switch # 4 is used to configure the Output state when Fire Alarm is engaged. In the OFF position, outputs will be de-energized when FACP is activated, in the ON position outputs will be energized.

11. For ULC applications batteries must be connected. Stand-by batteries must be lead acid. 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.

12. 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. 2). Connect the tamper switch wiring to the Access Control Panel input or the appropriate UL Listed reporting device. To activate 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.

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

Maintenance

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 wire from the terminal marked [FACP] on StrikeIt4. The fire alarm interface is configurable to either apply 24VDC or disconnect 24VDC from the lock outputs upon activation. Set as required per application. With DIP Switch

4 in the OFF position, 24VDC will be disconnected from lock outputs (DIS

mode). With DIP Switch #4 in the ON position, 24VDC will be applied to the lock outputs (24V Mode).

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 battery terminal and at the board terminals marked [– BAT +] to ensure that there is no break in the battery connection wires.
Depress the [Battery Test] button for 5 seconds. If the battery is low or missing, the battery LED will start blinking slowly. It will extinguish when the [Battery Test] button is depressed again with the good battery connected or when all power is re-cycled.

• Note: Maximum charging current under discharge is 650mA.
• Note: Battery life expectancy will vary based on the manufacturer and quality of the battery.
• 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 risk of electric shock and fire hazard, replace input fuse with the same type and rating: 5A/250V. Do not expose to rain or moisture. Indoor use only.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Replace fuse with the same type and rating: Input Fuse is rated at 5A/250V, Battery PTC rated at 6A.

Keep power-limited wiring separate from non-power-limited. Use minimum 0.25″ spacing. 7AH Rechargeable batteries are the largest batteries that can fit in this enclosure (UL/ULC – Stand-by power only evaluated with 7AH batteries). A UL-Listed external battery enclosure must be used if using 12AH, 40AH or 65AH batteries.
