Door Access Reader Installation
The door access reader is used for access control. A common application is bathroom door access.
Parts
- Reader (with Voltage relay board ASSY-02-02-08)
- Cable harness
- 12Vdc, 1A power supply
- Electric Door Strike - NOT INCLUDED in the parts kit. See section at the bottom for links for ordering from a 3rd party
Installation
- Install electric door strike in the door frame
- Set the reader number using the DIP switches on the back of the reader board, just like for washer/dryer readers.
For Door Access readers, switch #1 is ignored. If it is your first Door Access Reader, then number it as Door #1 and so on as shown below:
See: Reader DIP Switch settings for general information about the dip switch settings - Connect cable harness to the electric door strike.
This is usually the black/yellow wires. If you're using HES 5200 or HES 5000 strikes purchased from the link below, there should be a short 12VDC cable provided with the door strike. This cable should connect directly to the mating connector on the cable harness we provide.
If you receive a different connector with your door strike, that doesn't have a mating connector that matches our reader's harness, you can spice our harness directly into the door strike's 12VDC harness, like in the picture below: - Connect the reader's harness to the provided 12Vdc power supply
- Connect the AC-side of the 12Vdc power supply to a local 110V-220V AC power source. You'll need have a certified electrician make this connection
- Activate the card reader using the Activation card for the specific store location:
Buying a 12V Electric door strike
Our kit comes with a card reader, reader wiring harness, and a 12Vdc power supply to provide power to both the reader and the door strike.
Our kit does NOT include an electric door strike, so you'll need to procure your own. Ensure it is a 12V strike with a maximum current draw of 1A.
Here is one source for electric door strikes:
The HES 5200 is a door strike many of our customers use.
Door Lever Selection
You will want to select a door lever with a key, so that the door can be unlocked from the outside during a power outage.
Keep in mind that if you need someone to be able to lock the door from the inside (for instance, the door provides access to a bathroom with only 1 stall), you can install a separate dead bolt so that the door can be locked from the inside. A door lever with a lock on the handle will not work for this because when the electric door strike is activated, it will provide access if the door lever is the only lock:
