Adams Rite 4605 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Adams Rite 4605 transformer power my 7170 electric strike?
Yes. The 4605 is built for Adams Rite electric strikes and is listed as compatible with the 7100, 7160, 7170, 7400 and 7800 Series. Feed it 115 VAC and it converts down to 12 or 24 VAC, so match the output selection to whatever coil voltage your strike is ordered in.
2) Will the 4605 work with a non-Adams Rite electric strike or maglock?
It is engineered around Adams Rite electric strikes and the named compatible series are all Adams Rite: 7100, 7160, 7170, 7400 and 7800. Any other device has to be judged on its own published input voltage and current draw against the 4605's 12/24 VAC output and 40 volt-amp capacity. Maglocks in particular are usually DC devices with continuous draw, so check the lock's requirement before assuming this transformer suits it.
3) Can a Locknetics RDB4 relay distribution board be used instead of an Adams Rite 4605 transformer to power electric strikes?
No. The Adams Rite 4605 is the power source itself, converting 115 VAC line input to selectable 12 VAC or 24 VAC output with 40 volt-amp capacity for electric strikes and other electrified door hardware. The Locknetics RDB4 is a 4 output relay distribution board supplied as a board only, so it switches and distributes circuits rather than generating low voltage from line power. In a typical access control cabinet the two do different jobs, and a relay board still needs a transformer or power supply ahead of it.
4) Is an RCI 9500/9501 mortise pin transfer an alternative to the Adams Rite 4605 transformer?
They are not interchangeable. The RCI 9500/9501 mortise pin transfer is rated 1.5A at 24VAC and carries power across the gap between frame and door with a tamper resistant design; it passes current, it does not create it. The Adams Rite 4605 steps 115 VAC line voltage down to 12 or 24 VAC at 40 volt-amps, mounts to a wall or panel, and has an LED power indicator. On an electrified opening you may well use both: the 4605 as the supply and a power transfer to get that voltage into a moving door leaf.
5) Do I have to order the Adams Rite 4605 as a 12 volt or a 24 volt unit?
Neither. The 4605 handles both. Output voltage is selected during installation for 12 VAC or 24 VAC to suit the connected device, so one part number covers either coil. It ships as a single configuration, the 4605 Transformer.
6) Can the 4605 transformer be mounted in an electrical enclosure or does it need wall space?
Either works. The 4605 is set up for wall or panel mounting, so it can sit in a control cabinet alongside your access control board or go on the wall near the opening. Leave clearance for wiring access, ventilation and future service. An LED on the unit shows power is present, which is easier to check if you mount it where you can see it.
7) I'm standardizing power supplies across a building. Can one 4605 feed several doors?
Think of the 4605 as a single-opening supply rather than a building-wide panel. It gives you 40 volt-amps at 12 or 24 VAC from a 115 VAC feed, with no relay distribution or door-by-door control built in. If you need to split power across multiple controlled doors, pair it with a distribution board such as the Locknetics RDB4, which is a four-output relay distribution board. For a fleet standardization program, spec one 4605 per door or group of doors sized to the load.
8) What else do I need to order with the 4605 to finish an electric strike installation?
The 4605 covers power conversion only. You still need the strike itself, the wire run between transformer and strike in a gauge sized to the distance and load, and whatever release device you are using (card reader, push button, or REX switch). Adams Rite wiring diagrams for the connected strike govern the terminations. If the strike sits in a wet or high dust location, an accessory like the HES 1000-102 rain guard for 1006 Series strikes is the sort of add-on that gets specified separately.
9) If I am powering an Adams Rite 7100 or 7800 Series electric strike, does the brand of transformer matter?
The Adams Rite 4605 is specified for Adams Rite electric strikes and is listed as compatible with the 7100, 7160, 7170, 7400 and 7800 Series, delivering filtered and regulated DC so those strikes operate silently rather than buzzing on raw AC. That filtered and regulated output is the reason to stay with it rather than substituting a generic bell transformer: a plain AC supply at the same voltage will still pull the strike but will not give you silent operation. Output voltage is field selectable for 12 VAC or 24 VAC to match the connected device.
10) Is the Adams Rite 4605 transformer suitable for a commercial building, or is it a residential part?
It is a commercial-duty part, catalogued by Adams Rite as commercial, and it gets used in school and healthcare access control, multi-tenant residential entrances, and industrial facilities. Input is 115 VAC line power, so a licensed electrician and compliance with local electrical code are part of the install.
11) Where do I find the wiring diagram for the Adams Rite 4605?
Adams Rite publishes the 460 Series power accessories, including the 4605, in its product directory, and that document carries the wiring and configuration references for the 12 or 24 VAC output selection. Follow those diagrams rather than generic transformer wiring, since the output has to match the connected strike's coil voltage.
