Trine 598-24V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Trine 598 transformer power a 24VAC electric strike?
Yes, if you order the 24VAC version. The 598 is a step-down transformer built for electric strikes, bells, buzzers, chimes and other low voltage devices, and it is sold in three secondary outputs: 8VAC, 16VAC and 24VAC. The 24VAC unit delivers 1.25 amps on the secondary, which covers a single 24V strike comfortably. Match the secondary to what the strike's own label calls for, because the 598 is a fixed-output unit per version, not a selectable one.
2) How much current does the Trine 598 transformer put out, and can it run two door strikes?
Output depends on the version you buy: 8VAC gives 2.50 amps, 16VAC gives 1.88 amps, and 24VAC gives 1.25 amps. Add up the inrush draw of every device on the secondary and stay under that figure. Two strikes on one 598 only works if their combined draw fits inside the rating for the voltage you picked, and strikes pull hardest at the moment they release. If the numbers are close, run a second transformer rather than sharing one.
3) Does the Trine 598 mount to a junction box knockout or does it need a bracket?
It clamps straight to a standard 1/2 inch knockout. The 598 comes with a screw-bracket mounting clamp for that purpose, so it hangs off the side of a box or cabinet with the secondary leads inside the enclosure. It can also be base mounted to a flat surface if there is no knockout to use. Either way it is a hardwired unit, not a plug-in.
4) What is the input voltage on the Trine 598 transformer?
120 volt AC on the primary. That is standard building line voltage, so it wires into a normal 120V branch circuit at a box. The primary leads arrive pre-stripped, so there is no cutting back insulation before you make up the wire nuts. The secondary is the low voltage side, 8, 16 or 24VAC depending on which version you order.
5) What happens if a Trine 598 transformer gets overloaded or a strike shorts out?
It takes itself offline when it overheats. That is thermal protection built into the transformer, so a sustained overload or a shorted low voltage run shuts the output down instead of cooking the windings. It is worth knowing on a service call: a dead strike with no obvious fault can simply be a transformer that has tripped on heat, and the usual cause is too much load on the secondary or a pinched wire in the door loop.
6) Do I have to specify a voltage when ordering the Trine 598 transformer?
Yes, voltage is the one thing you choose. The 598 is ordered as 8VAC, 16VAC or 24VAC, and that is the only option on it. Nothing else gets specified, no finish and no mounting variant, since the clamp bracket for 1/2 inch knockouts is included on every unit. Pull the voltage off the nameplate of the strike, bell or chime you are feeding before you order.
7) Is the Trine 598 a plug-in transformer or does it have to be hardwired?
Hardwired. The 598 is the clamp-on type, with pre-stripped 120V AC primary leads that get connected inside a box, not a cord and plug. If you were hoping to drop a transformer into a wall receptacle, this is not that part. Plan on a 120V feed at a junction box or cabinet, and on the 598 clamping to a 1/2 inch knockout there.
8) Can I use the Trine 598 transformer for a doorbell or chime instead of an electric strike?
Yes. Bells, buzzers and chimes are named uses for the 598 alongside electric strikes and other low voltage devices. Most residential chimes want 16VAC and most buzzers 8VAC, so pick the version that matches the device nameplate; the 598 is sold in 8VAC, 16VAC and 24VAC. One transformer per chime circuit keeps you inside the amp rating for that version.
