Dear Owner:
In the event that your checking/maintenance program uncovers a problem,
inspection data recorded on the maintenance/inspection log will be taken into
consideration if the unit is returned to Detex for evaluation. (Detex reserves
the sole right to determine action to be taken on returned goods.)
Remember the attention you give to your ECL-230 Series Panic Hardware
Device may save a life! If you need additional assistance regarding your
inspection/maintenance program, contact our Product Services Department.

In terms of both design and manufacture, your ECL-230 Series Panic Hard-
ware Device represents the highest quality standards Detex has to offer in
meeting your security needs. Prior to leaving our factory, your unit was tested
thoroughly to insure that it meets UL listing requirements.
However, like any mechanical device used only occasionally, your ECL-230
needs periodic cycling to insure that it functions properly when an emergency
arises. So that your lock continues to give the protection and service for which
it was purchased, we urge you to set up an ongoing checking/maintenance
program.
The procedures outlined in this manual will assist in establishing a structured
inspection/maintenance program. Assign someone to be responsible for
instituting it, including coordination of semi-annual inspections with designated
service personnel and the logging of inspection dates.

ECL-230D AND ECL-230D-PH
PANIC HARDWARE DEVICE
This test checks lock operation and condition
of battery (or battery eliminator).
1. With the door closed, rotate the I.K.C. key
clockwise a full 360 degree (from the key out
position) to extend the bolt into the keeper (the
locked position). Remove the I.K.C. key. Next
push the paddle bar. The alarm should sound
and the bolt should retract to unlock the door.
2. Open the door.
3. Close the door, and arm the unit with the cylinder
key. The bolt extends and the unit stops sounding.
1. Inspect door and door frame. Make sure door
opens easily and does not bind against the frame
or threshold. Check for door sag and warping.
Also check conditions of hinges and lubricant
as needed.
2. Remove lock cover. Check for dirt accumula-
tion, battery leakage, and for smooth operation
of bar, bolt and cylinder.
Should moving parts require lubrication, use
either LPS #1 or WD-40 only. (See Lubrication
Diagram on Page 5).
Important Note: When extended, the bolt must
never bind against the inside of the keeper.
Should the bolt bind, reposition the keeper
so that the bolt withdraws without restriction.
3. Repeat weekly Operation Test (above)
several times to insure proper functioning.

With the key removed, conrm the index markings
(Fig. 1 Rear View).
G) If the timing marks do not line up then reinstall
the cylinder (per instructions).
H) If the cylinder turns hard, the tail piece is
too long and needs to be cut as Fig. 2. Fig. 2
denotes Detex cylinder ECL-445, 5 pin. For
6-7 pin rim cylinder use ECL-1595 escutcheon
and cut tailpiece accordingly.
I) Insert the key in the cylinder and turn it clock-
wise/counter-clockwise. The cam and the key
should turn freely. If the key turns, but not the
cam, the cylinder tail piece was cut too short and
has slipped out of the cam - Replace the tailpiece
or the cylinder (Fig. 2).
3. If the bolt does not retract/extend using the
outside key control (OKC):
A) Remove the unit from the door
B) From the rear side of the casting - conrm
the retaining spring was removed (Fig. 3).
4. Siren continues to sound after resetting
the alarm (Bolt extended):
A) Retract the bolt
B) Remove the cover (see step 1 B & C).
C) Disconnect the battery
D) Identify the screws holding the Cam Bridge
and remove the screws and Cam Bridge. Inspect
