HES 2001-1 Wire-In Bridge Rectifier for Electric Strikes

The HES 2001-1 Wire-In Bridge Rectifier is a dedicated AC-to-DC conversion accessory designed for use with HES electric strike installations. By converting alternating current to unfiltered DC, this compact inline device ensures your electric strike receives the correct current type for reliable, consistent operation — eliminating erratic behavior that can result from supplying AC power directly to a DC-rated strike.

How It Works

Many access control power supplies output AC voltage, while most electric strikes are engineered for DC operation. The 2001-1 bridges that gap with a wire-in configuration, giving installers a clean, permanent in-line solution that integrates directly into the wiring run without bulky plug-in adapters. The result is stable unfiltered DC output ready for strike actuation.

Built-In Protection Features

• MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor): Absorbs voltage spikes and transient surges that can damage the strike solenoid over time, extending the working life of the hardware.
• Self-Resettable Fuse: Automatically resets after an overcurrent event, reducing maintenance callbacks and avoiding the cost of manual fuse replacement on installed systems.

Key Benefits for Commercial Installers

• Converts AC supply voltage to unfiltered DC — no external rectifier module needed
• Wire-in design for permanent, low-profile installation in the wiring run
• Protects the electric strike from voltage transients via integrated MOV
• Self-resettable fuse reduces service calls after overcurrent events
• Compact form factor fits easily above door frames or in junction boxes

Compatibility Note

The HES 2001-1 is compatible with the majority of HES electric strike series, including the 1500, 1600, 4500, 5000, 5200, 5300, 8000, and 9000 Series. This rectifier is not recommended for use with the HES 1006 Series electric strike. Verify strike model compatibility before installation.

For installations requiring additional power management — including initial voltage reduction to extend strike life and doubled warranty coverage — consider the HES 2005M3 in-line power controller, which includes a built-in bridge rectifier along with voltage regulation and an input voltage indicator.

Typical Applications

• Commercial office buildings with AC-output power supplies feeding electric strikes
• Retrofit installations converting existing AC-wired openings to DC-compatible electric strikes
• Access-controlled doors in healthcare, education, and light industrial facilities
• Any HES electric strike installation (except 1006 Series) powered by an AC source
