2.  The main security concern regarding outside entry is if a person could 

introduce a metal wire from the outside and make metal to metal 
contact with the handle.  The field could then propagate along the 
wire and be activated by the intruder's hand.  In practice, this is 
unlikely.  The handle is anodized and therefore insulated, so it will not 
make contact with the wire.  The intruder would have to scratch away 
the anodization, which requires both effort and knowledge.  
Additionally, the field propagates weakly along a thin wire.  If, 
however, high security from the outside is critical in the application, 
the sensitivity of the TSH should be set as low as satisfies the exit 
performance requirements. 

Troubleshooting 

The door will not release when the handle is touched 

1.  TEST the operation of the TSH.

 

a.  LISTEN to hear the relay click when the TSH is touched.

 

b.  Alternately, REMOVE the plaque and MONITOR the LED which 

comes on when the TSH senses touch.

 

c. 

IF

 a click is not heard, 

OR

 the LED does not come on, 

THEN

 TRY the backup switch.

 

NOTE:

 

A door that does not release from a touch of the TSH and 
from a push on the backup switch shows that there is most 
likely a fault in the overall installation wiring. 

d. 

IF

 the door does not open after pushing the backup switch, 

THEN

 CHECK the wiring to ensure it is correct, 

AND

 RETEST. 

NOTE:

 

A door that does not release from a touch of the TSH, but 
does release from pushing the backup switch, shows that 
the general wiring is correct, but the sensor is not reading 
a touch. 

e.  ADJUST the sensitivity of the TSH—it may be set too low.

 

f. 

IF

 the above step does not solve the problem, 

THEN

 the fault could be that the sensor itself is not receiving 

12–24 VDC power on the red and black wires, 

AND

 CHECK the power supply wiring, 

AND

 ENSURE the input polarity is correct, 

AND

 CHECK the connector block that plugs into the sensor card 

for loose wires, 

AND

 RETEST.
