Description
FSH FSS1-F High Security Electric Strike – Monitored | Fire Rated | 10–30VDC
Overview
The FSH FSS1-F is a premium high-security electric strike engineered for commercial and institutional environments where maximum reliability, full monitoring, and fire compliance are non-negotiable. Delivering a tested holding force of up to 1,500kg, it features triple monitoring (LSS, DSS, and OSS), auto-sensing 10–30VDC operation, and field-selectable fail-safe or fail-secure modes — making it one of the most versatile and capable electric strikes available in Australia. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel and rated for up to a 4-hour fire door assembly, it is the go-to choice for security installers specifying high-traffic, high-security access points.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an electric strike and a magnetic lock?
An electric strike replaces the fixed strike plate in a door frame and works with the door’s existing latch or lock bolt, allowing the door to be released electrically while maintaining a mechanical locking point. A magnetic lock (maglock) uses electromagnetic force to hold the door closed and has no mechanical latch. Electric strikes like the FSS1-F are often preferred where a more traditional door hardware appearance is required or where fail-secure operation is needed.
What does triple monitoring (LSS, DSS, OSS) mean?
The FSS1-F provides three independent monitoring outputs: Lock Status Sensing (LSS) confirms whether the strike is energised, Door Status Sensing (DSS) confirms whether the door is open or closed, and Optical Status Sensing (OSS) detects whether the latch bolt is engaged in the strike. Together, these give your access control system complete real-time visibility of the door’s security state.
Can I switch between fail-safe and fail-secure on site?
Yes. The FSS1-F is field-selectable between fail-safe (releases on power loss) and fail-secure (remains locked on power loss) modes. This allows the installer to configure the correct mode for the specific door application without replacing the hardware.
Is the FSS1-F suitable for fire-rated doors?
Yes. The FSS1-F carries a fire rating of up to 4 hours, making it suitable for installation on fire-resistant door sets and compliant egress paths to Australian and international standards. Confirm the specific fire rating requirement for your door assembly with your certifier.
What voltage does the FSS1-F require?
The FSS1-F auto-senses any voltage between 10VDC and 30VDC, drawing 250mA at 12V or 125mA at 24V. This makes it compatible with virtually any standard access control power supply without manual voltage adjustment.
How long will the FSS1-F last in a high-traffic environment?
The FSS1-F has been tested to over 1,000,000 operational cycles, making it suitable for the most demanding high-traffic commercial and institutional door applications.
Installer Note: Confirm fail-safe or fail-secure mode requirements with the building certifier before installation, particularly on fire-rated egress doors. The FSS1-F is field-selectable, so mode changes can be made on-site without replacing the unit.
