e. Insert each end of the (spiral) conduit into the recess of each of the cord caps and mount
each cap to the door and frame using a Phillips screwdriver and two (2) #6 X 3/4” long pan
head screws provided.

IT IS SUGGESTED THAT WIRE ROUTING FROM A SOLID DOOR USING THE
TRADITIONAL WIRING METHOD BE DONE USING AN ELECTRICAL TRANSFER HINGE OR
PIVOT (EPT OR EPTL) WHICH WILL SERVE TO ROUTE THE WIRING FROM THE DOOR TO
THE FRAME IN A CONCEALED MANNER.
ELDSB - ElectroLynx Wiring:
The ElectroLynx connection is the simplest method of transferring power and signal from the
device/door to the frame. Securitron’s EL-EPT or EL-EPTL are designed specifically for this
purpose.
IN ALL CASES THE BAR SHOULD BE MOUNTED SO THAT THE END MOUNT WHICH
HOUSES THE MAIN (TOUCH SENSE) PC BOARD IS ON THE HINGED SIDE OF THE DOOR.
DO NOT PULL OR RUN ANY CABLING OR WIRING THROUGH THE BAR, THIS CAN
POTENTIALLY CAUSE ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE WITH THE TOUCH SENSE CIRCUIT
AND MAY BLOCK THE MECHANICAL MOTION OF THE BAR.
6.6. CUTTING THE BAR
If it is necessary to shorten the bar to achieve proper installation, the bar can be cut in the field.
The bar should always be cut from the end which houses the main (touch sense) PC board. To
do this the end mounts must be completely removed from the ends of the bar assembly. The
following step-by-step instructions may be used for shortening the DSB:
To determine the cut-to length you may use two measurements; to fit the existing opening or to
replace an existing Securitron TSB-3 using the same mount holes. If the TSB-3 length was not
altered from the factory your new DSB will fit into the same mounting holes and hardware.
1. If the bar does not fit the existing holes, measure the center-to-center spacing of
the existing holes. Subtract 2-5/8” [66.7mm] from that number and that is the
length the new bar must be cut to.
2. If the bar does not fit the existing door opening, measure the opening and subtract
4-5/8” [117.5mm] from that number. This is the length that the bar must be cut
to. This will provide the minimum recommended clearance of 1/2” [12.7mm] from
each end of the bar to the frame.
a. If not already done, remove the end mount caps from the end mounts using a screwdriver.
b. Completely remove the screws and shipping clips from each end of the bar assembly.
c. Remove the two bar end caps which cover each end of the aluminum bar extrusion.
d. Remove the screw holding the touch sense wire ring terminal to the boss in the bar
extrusion.
e. Carefully withdraw the end mount that houses the main (TS) PC board from the end of the
bar.
f. Unplug the connectors from the PC board that face toward the inside of the bar.
g. Tuck all connectors and wiring back into the bar, ensuring that the wiring is secured deep
enough to be out of the way during the cutting of the bar.
h. Carefully remove the rubber bumper pad from the end of the bar to be cut. (These are glued
on at the factory).
