4. INSTALLATION
Mount Bar to Door:
 Feed wire cable through hole in
door, or route wire through the
end cap (See Wire Routing
instructions in Section 5).
 Install bar to door (Detail C)
using included hardware – or
the hardware from previous bar
installation.
 Ensure that the end mount
retainer is used to provide
secure attachment to door.
 Connect electrical circuit(s) and
test operation (See Section 7 for
general wiring diagrams).
 Install bar end caps and the
push to exit label.
5. WIRE ROUTING
Routing the EMB wire cable from a solid wood door to the frame can optimally be accomplished
utilizing a concealed electrical power transfer device (such as Securitron’s EPT, EPTL, CEPT or
SEPT). Another alternative for solid or glass door mounting of the EMB is routing the wire cable
through the bar’s end cap. See Wire Routing Through End Cap, Section 5.1 for detailed
instructions on implementing this option.
Routing the wire from a hollow metal door to the frame may be achieved using the included
TSB-C armored door cord. The TSB-C is normally installed toward the top and along the hinge
side of the door. The following step-by-step instructions may be used to install the TSB-C:
TSB-C Installation:
 Drill a 3/8” [9.5mm] diameter hole in both the door and frame as shown.
 Position door cord caps to fully cover each of the 3/8” [9.5mm] diameter holes, and then mark
the two (2) mounting holes for each cap.
 Drill a 1/8” [3.2mm] diameter hole at each of the previously marked cap mounting hole
locations.
 Insert one door cord insert into each end of the flexible door cord shield.
 Run wire cable from the hole in the door through the door cord shield (with inserts).
 Route wire cable through hole in frame and make electrical connections.
 Insert each end of the door cord shield into one of the cord caps. Ensure that the spiral
grooves of the cord shield are engaged by the teeth inside the cord cap.
 Install the two (2) cord caps, one to the door and one to the frame, using the provided #6
screws.
