A. Function
The 55- prefix signal switch monitors the touch bar. When the rail is depressed or dogged, the switch is de-activated.
B. Important
1. Caution: Disconnect all input power before beginning installation to prevent electrical shock and
equipment damage.
2. Installer must be a trained, experienced service person.
3. All wiring must comply with applicable local electrical codes, ordinances and regulations.
C. ElectroLynx Connector System Notes:
Do NOT force connectors on any other way.
The system is designed to be installation friendly with quick
connectors from the electric hinge through the door to the
rail. The only wiring required is to the loose wires on the
pigtail harness assembly on the frame side of the electric
hinge.
IMPORTANT:
The plug and receptacle connectors are designed to mate
and lock together as shown in the figure. Plug the
connectors into each other with the locking mechanism
aligned as indicated.
