Product Overview

Overview

HES 9800 Series is a low-profile, Grade 1 surface-mounted electric strike designed for Adams Rite Starwheel and Interlocking rim exit devices. The one-half inch thick body of the HES 9800 has all the functions located internally and is designed with the cover plate enclosing all of the mounting hardware to provide a safe, clean, and tamper-resistant surface. The 9800 can be installed straight onto the frame with no cutting, so it is a no-cut surface strike solution for retrofits and new construction.


Features

This heavy-duty strike exceeds Grade 1 standards for strength and durability, with a 1,500 lb static holding force and 70 ft–lb dynamic impact resistance. It is tested to withstand over 1,000,000 cycles of operation for unrivaled reliability in high-traffic openings. The device is field-selectable for fail-safe or fail-secure mode, allowing flexibility to choose secure locking on power loss or unlocking for life-safety, as needed. It supports dual-voltage 12/24 VDC input with a low current draw (450 mA at 12 VDC; 250 mA at 24 VDC) for efficient integration with standard power supplies.


Installation

Installation is straightforward: simply surface-mount the strike on the frame and align it with the exit device’s starwheel or interlocking latchbolt – no frame modifications or special faceplates required. The 9800 comes with two spacer plates (1/16″ and 1/8″) to accommodate various door gaps, ensuring proper latch engagement on aluminum, hollow metal, or wood frames. An adjustable horizontal alignment feature helps fine-tune the strike position for perfect locking engagement. The unit is fully non-handed, enabling installation on either right-hand or left-hand doors without modification.


Solution

The HES 9800 is designed for durability and security with strong stainless steel construction and an internally mounted solenoid. The tamper-resistant design and monitoring options, means that it is suitable for use in high security applications. HES stands behind their electric strike with their SecuriCare 5-year no-fault warranty, which can be extended to 10 years when used with the HES SMART Pac III voltage controller. This gives you the reassurance of consistent performance and support for years of operation in offices, storefronts and commercial facilities.
