HES ES100 at ASSA ABLOY Academy

In support of the new HES ES100 wireless electric strike, ASSA ABLOY Academy has added an online 30-minute session, Installing the HES ES100 Series Wireless Electric Strikes with Aperio Technology. (Read about the HES ES100 in our August 2021 issue or online at www.locksmithledger.com/21228359.)

The course begins with a step-by-step look at installing an ES100 wireless electric strike and reader. Then, instructors examine Aperio communication hub placement and wireless technology. Along the way, students will watch videos, explore FAQs and learn common troubleshooting tips. A knowledge check at the end of the course allows students to test their skills and gain access to valuable resources and reference materials.

By the end of this training module, students should be able to:

• Install the ES100 wireless electric strike.
• Connect and mount the ES100 reader.
• Install the optional door position switch (DPS) and latch monitoring.
• Demonstrate correct Aperio hub placement.
• Describe what types of wireless coverage patterns the Aperio hub supports.
• Provide examples of site conditions to check to avoid potential wireless interference issues.
• Connect the ES100 with an Aperio AH20 1-to-1 Wiegand hub.
• Recognize the differences between the basic, pre-paired hub functionalities and the advanced, field-configurable options. 

ASSA ABLOY Academy also added the two-hour course, Understanding Electric Strike Selection. This session will review conducting a site survey to determine the correct electric strike for an application. This course covers common door hardware and what you should know to select the strike designed to work with the hardware, as well as “outside the box” options to consider. A knowledge check at the end of the course allows students to test their skills, plus gain access to valuable resources and reference materials.

By the end of this training module, students should be able to:

• Recognize the key factors and considerations when selecting a strike for an application.
• Summarize building codes as they apply to electric strikes.
• Assess how to match a door lockset to an electric strike.
• Discuss what to do with a storefront opening and all glass as hardware changes.
