Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the ES10 and the ES10M?
- The ES10M is the monitored version and includes a Door Status Sensor (DSS) that tracks whether the door latch is engaged. The standard ES10 does not include monitoring but is IP56 weather rated. Choose the ES10M if your access control panel requires latch status feedback.
- Can I switch between fail-safe and fail-secure on site?
- Yes. The ES10 is site-interchangeable between fail-safe (Power to Release) and fail-secure (Power to Lock) using only a small screwdriver — no rewiring or additional components needed.
- What lock types is the ES10 compatible with?
- The ES10 is designed for single swing doors fitted with either a mortice lock or a cylindrical tongue lock. It is not suitable for deadbolts or multi-point locking systems.
- Is the ES10 suitable for outdoor use?
- Yes. The ES10 carries an IP56 rating, making it resistant to dust ingress and water jets — suitable for covered outdoor door frames and exposed environments.
- Does the ES10 meet Australian fire door requirements?
- Yes. The ES10 is fire rated up to 4 hours to Australian Standards (AS), making it suitable for installation on fire-rated door assemblies.
