EPT / EPTL ELECTRICAL POWER TRANSFER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Includes: EL-EPT / EL-EPTL – ElectroLynx Version
1. DESCRIPTION
The EPT/EPTL allows an electric lock or exit device, such as a Securitron Touch Sense Bar or
Touch Sense Handle device, to be installed while concealing the cabling on the hinge side of the
door between the edge of a door and door frame. The EPT/EPTL includes a flexible steel shield
approximately 5/16” [7,9mm] (I.D.) inside diameter.
The EPT/EPTL power transfer devices are able to be installed onto doors accompanied with Full
Mortise Butt Hinges, Continuous Butt Hinges or Offset Pivot Type Hinges. The Pivot Type Hinge
styles may have up to a 3/4” [19,0mm] offset maximum.
Note: The EPT/EPTL models are not compatible with doors
containing Swing Clear Type Hinges or Center Pivot Type Doors.

3. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
It is recommended to edge mount the EPT/EPTL in the upper half of a steel door and the lower
half of a wood door. The EPT/EPTL Lead Cover should be a minimum of 6” [152,4mm] from the
middle butt hinge cutout or centered between the butt hinges. Prior to installation, ensure that
you have the correct version of the EPT/EPTL for the door/frame. The EPT is used for door swing
gap distances of 2-1/2” [63,5mm] or less between door edge and the door frame. The EPTL is
used for longer door swing gap distances greater than 2-1/2” [63,5mm].
A simple measurement may be taken to determine the correct EPT/EPTL for the application. To
measure the swing gap distance, open the door its full travel distance. Measure the distance
from the centerline of the door edge to the centerline position on the door frame as shown in
Figure 1. If this distance is 2.5” [63,5mm] or less an EPT may be used. If the distance is greater
than 2.5” [63,5mm] an EPTL must be used. Once the correct unit is determined, use the
following step by step procedure to correctly install the EPT/EPTL.
Note: The door stile, number of hinges and distance between hinges
may vary depending upon the door manufacturers. Consult the specific
door manufacturer to help decide if the EPT/EPTL will fit the application.
