These hinges are designed to pass low voltage power through
a frame hinge to the door without any exposed wires.
They are ideal to power locksets, exit devices, request to exit
switches, and monitoring devices like door position switches.
IMPORTANT: Before modifying any re rated open-
ing, check with the Authority Having Jurisdiction
(AHJ) for acceptable procedures.
IMPORTANT: Avant de modier une ouverture résis-
tant au feu, vérier auprès de l’autorité compétente
pour savoir comment procéder s’il y a lieu.
IMPORTANTE: Antes de modicar cualquier abertu-
ra con clasicación de resistencia al fuego, controle
con la Autoridad que Tenga Jurisdicción (AHJ, por
sus siglas en inglés) para obtener procedimientos
aceptables.
DOOR PREPARATION:
The wire chase should be drilled through the door
with a 3/8” drill bit starting at point noted on the hinge
template. The hinge should always be positioned as one
of the center hinges on the door, since the modied
hinge no longer meets manufacturers load bearing
specications.
A starter hole of 3/4” Dia. x 1-1/2” deep is recommended
for the splice of the hinge wire and lock wires.
FRAME PREPARATION:
Mark and drill hole to receive the wires from the hinge.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS (MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS RATING):
6 Wire : 2 x 20 AWG 4.0 Amps @ 24V continuous
In rush rating 16A @ 24V for .5 mS (each pair)
plus 4 x 26 AWG 1.0 Amps @ 24V (each pair)
NOTE: Do not pinch wires, or allow hinge to dangle from wires
during installation. This may cause the hinge to malfunction.
