Installation Directions
CAUTION! Before connecting any device at the installation site, verify input voltage using a multimeter.
Many power supplies and low voltage transformers operate at higher levels than listed. Any input voltage exceeding
10% of the solenoid rating may cause severe damage to the unit and will void the warranty.
Evaluate Opening
2
1. Verify opening is plumb and square. For important detail,
see “Read Me” guide.
Prepare Strike
2. Select the appropriate Plug In Connector that matches
system power and electrically connect as illustrated in
Diagram 2. For 12V AC/DC or 16V AC, the pigtail marked “12
VDC” should be used. For 24V AC/DC, the pigtail marked
“24 VDC” should be used. If no connector is present,
configure the wires as illustrated within Diagram 2.
3. Make sure that the electric strike is in correct mode of
operation. This electric strike ships in fail secure mode. If
you need to convert the unit to fail safe, see Diagram 3 on
page 3.
4. If using Latchbolt Monitor (LBM), see Diagram 4.
5. Attach the faceplate to the electric strike, using the #8-32
screws provided. Be sure that the ramps are on top of the
faceplate. (see Diagram 5 on page 3).
Prepare Frame
6. Prepare door jamb per the appropriate template detail
(see pages 4-6).
7. If applicable, install mounting tabs using #10-32 screws.
Do not tighten.
Finish Installing
8. If opening is not plumb and square, see “Read Me” guide
for recommended corrections.
9. Install the electric strike unit in jamb cutout, using
#12-24 screws provided (or wood screws where
necessary).
10. The deadlatch must not interfere with the 8000/8300
ramps (see Diagram 6 on page 3). If you need to adjust the
ramps, mark the centerline of the deadlatch onto the
8000/8300 faceplate. Remove the 8000/8300 electric strike
from jamb. Loosen screws and slide internal ramp until the
groove between the ramps aligns with the mark made on
the faceplate. Tighten the screws. (see Diagram 7 on page
3).
11. Connect wires from power source to the electric strike.
12. Reinstall electric strike, tighten the #12-24 screws and
verify clearance of deadlatch.
13. If applicable, tighten the #10-32 screws holding the
mounting tabs.

NOTE: The 8000/8300 electric strike
with 801faceplate will fit right into
most standard ANSI A115.2, 1”
deep dustboxes (e.g. the Curries
®
E-1 preparation), requiring no
cutting.
If you elect to place the 8000/8300
into the existing dustbox, simply
drill for wire connections.
