Aiphone EL-12S 12V Ac Electric Strike

Product Description

The AIPHONE EL-12S is a 12-volt AC electric strike designed for use in access control and door entry systems. Electric strikes replace standard fixed door strikes and allow remote electrical release of a locked door without requiring the latch to be retracted manually. The EL-12S receives a signal from an intercom, keypad, or access control panel and releases the door frame strike to allow entry. It is installed by licensed electricians and low-voltage access control technicians working on commercial or residential entry systems.

The EL-12S is suited for standard door frame installations where a 12-volt AC power supply is available from an intercom system power transformer or dedicated access control power supply. It is commonly paired with intercom systems and door entry panels that provide a 12-volt AC relay output for door release. Typical installations include apartment entryways, office access points, and secured residential entry doors where remote door release is required.

Installation Notes

Electric strike installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or licensed electrician familiar with access control wiring and local building codes. Disconnect and de-energize the access control power supply before wiring or mounting the strike. Verify door frame alignment and strike plate fit before final mounting to ensure proper latch engagement. Consult the door hardware manufacturer specifications and applicable local codes for fastener and fire-rating requirements.
