Description
The Model TSH touch sense handle is an exit device for doors secured
by electric locks. It can be employed as a door push or pull and is
particularly well suited for aluminum frame glass doors. The assembly
consists of a plastic base with an electronic touch sensor mounted
inside, and an aluminum handle which is used to pull or push the door
open. Touching the handle trips a relay in the sensor, releasing the lock.
The relay contacts are double pole with the second pole being optionally
employed to shunt either an alarm system or the alarm function of an
access control system. The unit’s sensitivity is adjustable. In the
unlikely event of sensor failure, a push switch is mounted on the plastic
base. Depressing the switch has the same effect as activating the
sensor by touch and therefore represents built in safety redundancy.
The TSH cannot be used outside in rain conditions.
As the TSH is normally used to allow egress on an electrically secured
door, make sure that you are complying with applicable building codes
for your area. Check with your local building department and/or fire
prevention department.
UL 294 Access Control Performance Levels
The following are the UL294 access control performance levels:
Destructive Attack = Level 1
Line Security = Level 1
Endurance = Level IV
Standby Power = Level 1
Installing the TSH
Remove the Handle
1. UNSCREW the handle from the plastic base (large Phillips screws) to
reveal the base mounting holes.
2. SET the handle aside.

Drill the Mounting and Wire Way Holes
NOTE 1: There are two different diameters of holes depending on the
door type. Hollow metal doors employ supplied machine
screws and "blind nut" fasteners. The second method is to use
wood screws (not supplied) on a solid wood door.
NOTE 2: If the TSH is used on a solid door, the door must be core
drilled to get the wire way cable to the hinge side for take-off
via the supplied door cord.
NOTE 3: The TSH may not be used on a fire-rated door that requires a
fire-rated latch (the TSH has no latch).
1. USE the supplied template to set drilling positions for the two
mounting holes.
2. For a hollow metal door, DRILL two 3/8" [9.5 mm] diameter
holes only deep enough to get
not completely through the door.
NOTE: The TSH may be mounted with wood screws (not furnished).
It is recommended that 1-3/4" #14 wood screws with a hex,
pan, oval, or round head be used for mounting.
3. For a solid wood door, DRILL two 3/16"
to a depth of 1-1/4" (32 mm).
through the inner side of the door—
(5 mm) diameter holes
NOTE 1: The TSH connects to its power source and to the devices it
controls using a six-conductor cable with push-on connector
(supplied).
NOTE 2: Exit from the door may be via the supplied door cord, which
may be mounted at the top of the door, where it is out of the
way, or via any of many commercially available transfer hinges
or pivots, which serve to route the wiring off the door in a
concealed manner.
NOTE 3: The template for the wire way hole is handed. The TSH can
be vertically flipped to suit a right hand or left hand door, but it
must be known which way the aluminum handle will face in
order to correctly orient the template.
4. DRILL a 3/8" [9.5 mm] diameter hole for the wire way.

Mount the Plastic Base to the Door
1. PERFORM the following to mount the plastic base to a hollow metal
door.
a. LOCATE the two supplied blind nuts.
b. INSERT the nuts with the knurl engaging the edge of each hole.
c. USE the supplied collapsing tool to collapse the nuts (see
Figure 1, “Collapsing the Blind Nuts in a Metal Door”).
d. PLACE a tooth washer under the head of each screw and
MOUNT the plastic base.
e. TIGHTEN the cap screw, but DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Connect the Electrical Within the Plastic Base
NOTE: Electrical connections with the plastic base must be made
before the handle is attached to the base.
1. ROUTE the cable connector across the circuit board and PLUG into
the corresponding connector on the board (see Figure 2, “Plastic
Base and Handle Detail”).
