SDC PT-2U – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is an SDC PT Series power transfer loop used for on an electrified door?
A PT Series loop is the flexible steel conduit that carries power and data wires from the frame across the gap into the door leaf, so an electrified lock or electrified exit device can be wired without exposing loose cable at the hinge edge. It is a wire pathway, not a power supply and not a lock: you still need the transformer or power supply and the electrified hardware itself. The wires run inside the conduit so they survive the door swinging thousands of times.
2) Should I use a surface mounted power transfer loop or a concealed mortise loop?
Both do the same job, the difference is how much door and frame prep you are willing to do and how exposed the loop can be. The surface models (PT-2, PT-3, and PT-3/8) mount on the face of the frame and door edge, so they go on with far less machining and suit retrofit work where the door is already hung. The PT-5 is a concealed mortise loop: it gets routed into the door and frame so nothing shows, which is what you want on a tamper sensitive opening or where the finished look matters. Retrofitting an occupied building, take a surface loop. Specifying new doors that can be prepped at the shop, the PT-5 hides completely.
3) I am running a thick cable bundle to an electrified exit device. Which SDC PT loop has the bigger inside diameter?
The PT-3/8V. It is a surface loop with aluminum box end caps and a 3/8 inch internal diameter, which is the model SDC offers for larger wire bundles or specialized cable. If you are pulling more than a pair of conductors, say power plus monitoring and request to exit signals back to an electrified exit device, size to the 3/8 inch ID rather than trying to force the bundle through a standard loop.
4) What is the difference between the SDC PT-2U and the PT-3V power transfer loop?
End caps. The PT-2U surface loop uses plastic end caps, while the PT-3V surface loop uses aluminum box end caps. Both are surface mounted loops carrying the same flexible steel conduit. The aluminum box caps are the choice on high traffic or abuse prone openings and where the exposed hardware needs to look finished; the plastic caps are the economical pick on a lower traffic interior opening.
5) Which SDC PT power transfer loop should I use on a high security or tamper prone door?
The PT-5 concealed mortise loop. It routes the wiring inside the door and frame instead of across an exposed face, so there is no surface conduit for someone to attack, cut, or pull at. That is the model SDC calls out for tamper resistance. It does need the door and frame mortised for it, so plan that prep into the job.
6) Does a power transfer loop supply power to the lock, or do I still need a power supply?
The loop carries wire, it does not generate power. A PT Series transfer is the protected pathway between frame and door only, so a complete electrified opening still needs the power supply or transformer feeding it and the electrified lock or exit device at the other end. Budget the loop as an accessory line item alongside those, not as a substitute for either.
7) Is the SDC PT Series rated for commercial door traffic or is it a residential product?
Commercial. The PT Series is built for commercial access control openings, and the steel conduit is what carries it through repeated door cycles rather than a plain wire jumper. It is the kind of transfer you put on school corridor doors, healthcare openings, retail entrances, government buildings, and multi tenant residential entries where the hardware gets used all day.
8) How many models are in the SDC PT power transfer loop line and what are they?
Four: PT-2, PT-3, PT-3/8, and PT-5. Three are surface mounted (PT-2U with plastic end caps, PT-3V with aluminum box end caps, PT-3/8V with aluminum box end caps and 3/8 inch ID) and one, the PT-5, is a concealed mortise loop. Pick by mounting method first, then by end cap and wire bundle size.
