EPT / EPTL ELECTRICAL POWER TRANSFER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Includes: EL-EPT / EL-EPTL – ElectroLynx Version
1. DESCRIPTION
The EPT/EPTL allows an electric lock or exit device, such as a Securitron Touch Sense Bar or
Touch Sense Handle device, to be installed while concealing the cabling on the hinge side of the
door between the edge of a door and door frame. The EPT/EPTL includes a flexible steel shield
approximately 5/16” [7,9mm] (I.D.) inside diameter.
The EPT/EPTL power transfer devices are able to be installed onto doors accompanied with Full
Mortise Butt Hinges, Continuous Butt Hinges or Offset Pivot Type Hinges. The Pivot Type Hinge
styles may have up to a 3/4” [19,0mm] offset maximum.
Note: The EPT/EPTL models are not compatible with doors
containing Swing Clear Type Hinges or Center Pivot Type Doors.
2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

3. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
It is recommended to edge mount the EPT/EPTL in the upper half of a steel door and the lower
half of a wood door. The EPT/EPTL Lead Cover should be a minimum of 6” [152,4mm] from the
middle butt hinge cutout or centered between the butt hinges. Prior to installation, ensure that
you have the correct version of the EPT/EPTL for the door/frame. The EPT is used for door swing
gap distances of 2-1/2” [63,5mm] or less between door edge and the door frame. The EPTL is
used for longer door swing gap distances greater than 2-1/2” [63,5mm].
A simple measurement may be taken to determine the correct EPT/EPT L for the application. To
measure the swing gap distance, open the door its full travel distance. Measure the distance
from the centerline of the door edge to the centerline position on the door frame as shown in
Figure 1. If this distance is 2.5” [63,5mm] or less an EPT may be used. If the distance is greater
than 2.5” [63,5mm] an EPTL must be used. Once the correct unit is determined, use the
following step by step procedure to correctly install the EPT/EPTL.
Note: The door stile, number of hinges and distance between hinges
may vary depending upon the door manufacturers. Consult the specific
door manufacturer to help decide if the EPT/EPTL will fit the application.

Wood Doors and Frames
Using a router, cut the main recess slot into the edge of the door .700” [17,8mm] deep as
explained in Figure 2 and Figure 3. Reset the router depth to .075” [1,9mm] and route the two
(2) recess flange areas for the flush mount tabs. Place the lea d cover into position and mark the
location of the cable exit oblong hole and the mounting hole locations. Remove the Lead Cover
and drill the (2) two holes using a 1/8” [3,2mm] diameter drill approximately 1/2” [12,7mm]
deep. Drill the 3/4” [19,0mm] diameter hole into the door edge. Pass cable from the exit device
through the hole in the door edge. Pass the cable through the oblong h ole in the Lead Cover.
Properly attach the two (2) electrical connectors at the door location. Mount the Lead Cover into
place using the two (2) #6 x 5/8” Flathead Type-A Screws provided. Locate and mark the
mounting holes for the Flexible Shield onto the door frame. Drill the 11/16” [17,5mm] diameter
hole into the door frame. Drill (2) two holes using a 1/8” [3,2mm] diameter drill a pproximately
1/2” [12,7mm] deep for mounting of the Flexible Shield. Pass the cable through the Flexible
Shield and apply Bezel Plate if not preassembled. Properly attach the two (2) electrical
connectors at the frame location and pass into the hole of the door frame. Mount the Flexible
Shield onto the Lead Cover using the two (2) 8-32 x 3/16” S crews and #8 Split Helical Wa shers
provided. Align the cable and the other end of the Flexible Shield onto the door frame and
secure using the two (2) remaining #6 x 5/8” Flathead Type-A screws provided as shown in
Figure 4.
Must Align When Door Is Closed
Note: The frame side of the Flexible Shield requires the Bezel Plate
for concealing the oversize hole when mounted to the frame.
Metal Doors and Frames:
Metal doors must also have a flush surface mount installation. The door/frame manufacturer
may prepare a pre-fabricated tab for internal mounting capabilities or use the Flush Tab Bra ckets
provided. The cut out for the Lead Cover may be cut with a radius or square cornered as noted in
Figure 3 and on the Template provided. If field retrofit installation is being performed, route the
complete perimeter of the bracket and tab area and install the EPT/EPTL using the Flush Tab
Brackets provided. When mounting the Lead Cover, drill the mounting holes 1/8” [3,2mm] and
use the 6-32 x 3/8” Type “F” Self Tapping Screws provided. Follow the Template provided for
placement of the screw holes for the Flush Tab Brackets. Also when mounting the Flexible Shield
to the metal door frame, drill the same holes at 1/8” [3,2mm] and use the two (2) remainin g 632 x 3/8” Type “F” Self Tapping Screws.
Note: Applications containing combinations of doors or frames made of wood
or metal; follow the proper procedures related to the device as necessary.
