1. Produttu Finituview
The Aiphone EL-12S electric door strike is designed to work in conjunction with an access control system (sold separately) to provide secure access control for doors. This device ensures that a door remains locked until an authorized signal is received from the access control system, allowing the door to be opened.
It is specifically recommended for use with wood-framed wooden doors and offers versatile installation options, supporting both surface and mortise mounting configurations.

4. Operazione
The Aiphone EL-12S Electric Door Strike operates as a component of a larger access control system. It does not function independently.
- When the door is closed, the door latch engages with the strike, securing the door.
- Upon receiving an authorized signal from the connected access control system (e.g., card reader, keypad, intercom system), the electric strike mechanism releases, allowing the door latch to move freely and the door to be opened.
- Once the door is closed again, the strike automatically re-engages, securing the door until the next authorized signal.
Refer to your access control system's manual for specific instructions on how to grant access and integrate with the EL-12S.
