Lead covers for modern door systems

New: 20 pins for more options

In modern door systems, often several electrical devices are used to control the lock in the door leaf. In the past, this meant: two or more lead covers with corresponding installation effort, space problems due to the door hinges and difficulties with the approval of fire doors. The solution: the new 20-pin lead covers from effeff.

Advantages at a glance:

  • Simplified connection of electrical devices that require many pins (motor lock, a sensor bar and biometric access control)
  • No space problem even in narrow frames
  • No difficulties with the approval of fire doors due to the weakening of the door element with more than one lead cover
  • No cable break with integrated flex cable
  • Endurance test with one million load cycles
  • Higher power load possible by bridging pins 1/2 and 3/4
  • Width of the switch box: 24 mm (also in the short version): simplified installation, less milling work
  • Double-sided or one-sided switch box for metal, wood and plastic profiles
  • Radius end pieces
  • Clamp-plug connection
  • Separate production of door and frame
  • Easy installation on the construction site even without electrical knowledge
  • Direct connection to the house installation (without junction box)
  • Simplified service / maintenance

The selection of the right lead cover at a glance:

Mounting type

Depending on the requirements on the door or on the construction site, you can choose between surface and built-in installation:

Surface mounting

  • quickly assembled
  • simply installed
  • ideal for retrofitting
  • Model: 10318

Concealed mounting

  • concealed assembly
  • vandal-proof
  • appearance / design of the door is retained
  • Models: 10312, 10314

Switch boxes

The lead covers are available without, with a one-sided switch box or with a switch box on both sides.

Without switch box

One-sided switch box

Switch boxes on both sides

Pins

The more complex the door periphery, the more pins are required to connect the electrical devices.

10-pin

20 pin

Length

The choice of length depends on how far the door needs to be turned

Long version

  • Max. rotation 200 mm
  • Model: 10312

Short version

  • Max. rotation 100 mm
  • Model: 10314

Flexible cable

Flexible cables are built into most of our cable transitions. Exception: models 10318, 10312-11, 10312-21.

Flex cable

  • No cable break
  • Tested internally for 1 million cycles

Width

Many of the effeff lead covers are 24 mm wide and therefore fit into most profiles

Width 24 mm

Mounting plates

Mounting plate with radius

Round end caps

Clamp/plug connection

Many effeff lead cover are supplied with a clamp-plug connection

Clamp-plug connection

  • separate production of door and frame
  • easy installation on the construction site even without electrical knowledge
  • direct connection to the house installation (without junction box)
  • Separation of the door leaf from the frame without electrical knowledge: simplified service / maintenance
  • Models: 10314-11, 10314-21, 10314-20, 10314-20-20, 10314-3x, 10314-4x

IO modul

A lead cover with integrated IO module is available for simple status reports

IO module

New: integrated IO module

Easy to mount is the IO module integrated in the lead cover. It covers the most important door functions. 

This version is designed for applications with reduced requirements: with three inputs for external releases, an external door contact and two freely configurable outputs for lock states, this I/O module is suitable for single and multi-residential homes or office entrance doors.
