WHAT IS THE ELECTRIC STRIKE HES 9600 ?
The HES 9600 is a type of electric lock for access control systems, mainly for securing doors. His manufacture is by Hanchett Entry Systems (HES), a division of ASSA ABLOY.
KEY FEATURES
Surface-Mounted
Certainly, the HES 9600 is a surface-mounted electric strike, meaning the installation can be without significant modifications to the door frame. This makes it suitable for retrofit applications.
Compatibility
Besides, the design is to work with cylindrical locks, mortise locks without a deadbolt, and rim exit devices. This versatility makes it suitable for various door types and locking mechanisms.
Stainless Steel Construction
Definetly, the strike is of stainless steel, providing durability and resistance to tampering.
Low Profile
The slim design allows for a cleaner look and is less obtrusive.
Dual Voltage
The HES 9600 can operate on 12VDC and 24VDC power supplies, offering installation flexibility.
Field-Selectable Fail Safe/Fail Secure
Depending on security requirements, the electric lock operates either fail-safe (unlocks when power is removed) or fail-safe (locks when power is removed).
Strength and Reliability
It supports up to 1500 pounds of static resistance and 70-foot pounds of dynamic resistance, ensuring high levels of safety.
Latchbolt Monitor
Some models come with a latch bolt monitoring feature that provides feedback on the latch’s status, which is helpful for integration with access control systems.
UL Listed
The HES 9600 has a certification by UL 1034 and UL 294 for burglary-resistant electric door closers and access control system units, respectively.
APPLICATIONS
You can see the HES 9600 electric strike in commercial, institutional, and industrial environments with secure access control. It is ideal for use on exterior and interior doors that must remain closed until access is granted via a credential (e.g. key card, biometric scanner) or remote release.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
- Retrofit Capability: The installation is on existing doors without significant modifications, since it is surface-mounted.
- Wiring: Proper wiring is essential for functionality, and following the manufacturer’s wiring diagram is important.
- Power Supply: Ensure you have the correct voltage to the electric lock for optimal operation.
- Alignment: Proper alignment with the door latch is crucial to ensure smooth operation and prevent misalignment.
Replacing an electric strike, such as the HES 9600, involves several steps to ensure proper installation and functionality.
To avoid electrical hazards, ensure the power supply to the door’s electric strike is off.
Unscrew the mounting screws holding the old electric strike in place; also, carefully disconnect the wires connected to the old electric strike. Please note the wiring configuration or take a photo for reference.
If the new electric lock is the same size as the old one, skip this step. Otherwise, you may have to chisel the door frame to fit the latest strike. Also, clean any residue or old adhesive from the mounting area.
Connect the wires to the new HES 9600 electric strike and refer to the wiring diagram provided with the new lock. Make sure the connections are secure using wire nuts or electrical tape. Also, place the new strike plate on the Door arch and secure it with the screws provided. Make sure it is aligned correctly for trouble-free operation.
Turn the power back on and test the new electric lock. Make sure it locks and unlocks properly when active. If the lock is not working correctly, use a multimeter to check for proper voltage and continuity.
Once everything is working correctly, tighten all the screws and make sure all the wiring is secure. Also, test the door several times to ensure smooth operation and adequate latch alignment.
TIPS
- Double-check wiring connections: Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.
- Alignment: Proper alignment of the electric strike with the door latch is crucial for smooth operation.
- Manufacturer’s Instructions: For specific details about the HES 9600 model, always refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
