How to use

Install the Yale FF 17E iW Right in the door frame aligned with the existing latch or deadbolt strike using appropriate mounting hardware and wiring for 6–12V AC/DC power. Connect the low-voltage supply and any access-control wiring according to the access system’s instructions. In normal operation, the device unlocks electrically when a control signal is applied. If power is lost or manual access is required, operate the mechanical release to open the door. Ensure correct handing during installation so the unit aligns with right-hand door swings.

Recommendations

Use a regulated 6–12V AC or DC power source sized to the installer’s specifications and compatible with the connected access control system. Verify the handing of the door before installation and test the mechanical release after wiring. For long-term reliability, perform periodic checks of electrical connections, the strike alignment, and mechanical release operation. If integrating with an intercom or security system, follow that system’s installation guidelines to ensure correct signalling and safe operation.
