- 2 - StrikeIt2

Overview:

StrikeIt2 operates one (1) 24VDC panic hardware device. It is designed to handle the high current surge panic hardware
locking devices demand. In addition, an auxiliary power output provides power for accessory devices such as card readers,
keypads, REX PIRs, electronic timers, relays, etc.

Specifications:

Agency Approval:

• UL Listed for Access Control System Units (UL 294).

• CUL Listed - CSA Standard C22.2 No.205-M1983,
Signal Equipment.

Input:

• Input 115VAC 60Hz, 7 amp.

• One (1) NO trigger input.

Outputs:

• One (1) 23.2-24VDC lock output rated up to 16 amp
for 300ms, 0.5 amp continuous hold current.*

• One (1) 23.2-24VDC filtered regulated auxiliary
output rated @ 0.5 amp continuous supply current*
*Note: Total combined current for the outputs

may not exceed 1 amp.

Battery Backup:

• Built-in charger for sealed lead acid or gel type batteries.

• Automatic switch over to stand-by battery when AC fails.

• Maximum charge current .3 amp.

• When 4AH batteries are used, battery capacity
for emergency stand-by is at least a 1/2 hour.

Visual Indicators:

• Green AC Power LED indicates 115VAC present.

• Red LED indicates presence of 24VDC.

Enclosure Dimensions:

8.5”H x 7.5”W x 3.5”D

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. Product is intended for indoor use only.

1. Mount unit in desired location within protected premises (Maximum Wiring Distance
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. 7). Secure cabinet to earth ground.

2. Connect
The AC LED (Green) will illuminate indicating pow

3. Measure output voltage at terminals marked [-- AUX +] and [-- OUT +] before connecting devices
(Fig. 1, pg. 5 & Fig. 2b, pg. 6). This helps avoid potential damage.
Note: Some voltage may be present on the output. When the unit is not triggered load is not connected.

4.

Connect 24VDC panic hardware device to terminals marked [-- OUT +] (Fig. 1, pg. 5 & Figs. 2 & 2b, pg. 6).
Be sure to observe polarity

5. Connect Normally Open [NO] Dry Contacts from actuating devices such as an Access Control Panel, REX PIR,
Keypad, etc. to terminals marked [GND, NO] (Fig. 1, pg. 5 & Fig. 2b, pg. 6).

6. Connect auxiliary devices to be powered (Keypads, REX motion detectors, electronic timers, external relays) to the
auxiliar

7.

When using stand-by batteries, they must be lead acid or gel type. 4AH batteries will provide a 1/2 hour of
backup time. Connect two (2) 12VDC batteries wired in series to the terminals marked [-- BAT +].
For Access Control applications batteries are optional. When batteries are not used a loss of AC will result in the
loss of output voltage (Fig. 2b, pg. 5).

8.

Mount U.L. Listed tamper switch (Sentrol model 3012 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. 2a, pg. 6). Connect tamper
s

witch wiring to the Access Control Panel input or the appropriate U.L. Listed reporting device. To activate alarm

signal open the door of the enclosure.

9. Upon completion of wiring secure enclosure door with screws or cam lock.
