Factory ECL-230D Replacement Part

Detex's current ECL-230D factory parts breakdown lists:

Item 1a
Part Number: ECL-1576-15
Description: Cam Bridge Assembly

The cam bridge is one of the individual components that make up the larger ECL-243PH Mechanism Assembly.

Controls Rim-Cylinder Timing

The cam bridge plays an important role in coordinating operation of the key cylinder with the ECL-230D locking and alarm mechanism.

Detex specifically advises that when an ECL-230D remains in alarm after the key has been removed, rim-cylinder timing may require adjustment at the cam bridge assembly.

Proper timing helps coordinate:

• Key rotation

• Deadbolt operation

• Alarm arming

• Alarm disarming

• Internal mechanism sequencing

ECL-230D Application

The ECL-1576-15 is shown in Detex factory documentation as an internal part of the ECL-230D Exit Control Lock mechanism.

The ECL-230D itself is a battery-alarmed commercial exit-control lock featuring a 1" throw deadbolt, rim-cylinder operation, and an audible alarm for protected secondary exits.

Part of the ECL-243PH Mechanism Assembly

The complete Detex ECL-243PH Mechanism Assembly includes multiple serviceable components:

• ECL-1576-15 – Cam Bridge Assembly

• ECL-285A – Cam Plate Bottom

• ECL-306-1 – Bolt Assembly

• ECL-284 – Detent Spring

• ECL-293A – Detent Lever & Roller Assembly

• ECL-1576-20 – Actuator & Release Lever Kit

• Compatible siren-switch assembly components

This listing is specifically for the ECL-1576-15 Cam Bridge Assembly, not the complete ECL-243PH mechanism.

Common Service Symptoms

The cam bridge should be inspected when troubleshooting issues such as:

• Alarm remaining active after the key is removed

• Improper rim-cylinder timing

• Locking or unlocking sequence problems

• Incorrect alarm arming/disarming sequence

• Mechanical wear in the existing cam bridge

• Damage discovered during an ECL-230D overhaul

Detex notes that improper cylinder timing can cause the device to remain in alarm and directs technicians to the cam bridge assembly for timing adjustment.

Important Diagnostic Note

Replacing the cam bridge should be based on proper diagnosis.

Before replacing the ECL-1576-15, inspect:

• Rim cylinder

• Cylinder timing

• Cam plate

• Bolt assembly

• Detent spring

• Detent lever and roller

• Actuator and release lever

• Alarm switch

• Battery

• Strike alignment

A timing problem may sometimes require adjustment rather than replacement of the cam bridge itself.

ECL-230D Mechanism Reference

The ECL-230D mechanism contains several components that work together to operate the deadbolt and alarm system.

The cam bridge interfaces with the locking mechanism so that cylinder rotation occurs in the correct relationship to the mechanical and alarm functions.

Correct installation and adjustment are important for dependable operation.

Common Applications

Used for servicing Detex ECL-230D devices installed at:

• Emergency exits

• Retail stores

• Warehouses

• Schools

• Universities

• Hospitals

• Healthcare facilities

• Government buildings

• Manufacturing facilities

• Office buildings

• Commercial facilities

• Institutional buildings

• Restricted secondary exits

Replacement vs. Complete Mechanism

ECL-1576-15

Use when the cam bridge itself requires replacement.

ECL-243PH

The ECL-243PH is the complete mechanism assembly containing the cam bridge and additional internal mechanism components.

If several internal components are damaged or heavily worn, replacing the complete mechanism assembly may be more appropriate.

Important Compatibility Note

Before ordering, verify:

• Existing device is a compatible Detex ECL-230D

• Existing replacement part number is ECL-1576-15

• Cam bridge has been correctly diagnosed

• Rim-cylinder timing has been checked

• Remaining mechanism components are serviceable

Do not select this component solely by appearance.
