SES PSTATAC, CAT AND TEC PEDESTAL ADAPTER
The SES PSTATAC is the pedestal adapter used when select TEC2, TEC4, CAT2, or CAT4 units need to be mounted on a compatible SES pedestal. It bridges the access-control housing pattern to the pedestal mounting pattern, giving the installer a cleaner and more secure installation than drilling a generic plate or modifying the entry cabinet.
SES documentation identifies PSTATAC compatibility with TEC2, TEC4, CAT2, and CAT4, including those units with certain WH weather hood configurations. It also lists compatibility with SES pedestal references such as PST236 and PST242. In later pedestal sheets, PSTATAC is also shown as the adapter where used for CAT Series, TEC2, and WHT2/WHLT2 weather hoods.
Do not use PSTATAC as a catch-all adapter. TEC1 applications normally use PSTAT101, and SES notes that PSTATAC is not compatible with OPTKLH. If the original equipment has been upgraded or the cabinet style changed, compare the old adapter and current housing before ordering.

Technician Note
The easiest way to avoid ordering the wrong adapter is to identify the access-control unit first. TEC1, TEC2, TEC4, CAT2, and CAT4 can look similar in a parts list, but the pedestal adapter is not always the same.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the system is TEC2, TEC4, CAT2, or CAT4.
- Check whether a WH, WHT2, or WHLT2 hood is part of the installation.
- Verify the pedestal model and adapter pattern.
- Do not order for TEC1 unless a parts diagram specifically calls for it.
- Do not use with OPTKLH applications unless SES confirms otherwise.
Professional Advisory
Use the correct adapter rather than modifying the entry cabinet or pedestal. Field-drilled mounting holes can weaken the installation, affect water resistance, and make future service more difficult.
Product Questions
Which SES systems use PSTATAC?
PSTATAC is associated with TEC2, TEC4, CAT2, and CAT4 pedestal mounting, including certain weather hood configurations.
Is PSTATAC compatible with TEC1?
No. TEC1 pedestal mounting is normally associated with PSTAT101, not PSTATAC.
Can it be used with weather hoods?
Yes, select SES weather hood applications are listed with PSTATAC, especially TEC2/CAT style weather hoods. Confirm the hood model before ordering.
What is the OPTKLH warning?
SES literature notes that PSTATAC is not compatible with OPTKLH, so do not use it for that configuration without manufacturer confirmation.
Does this include the pedestal?
No. PSTATAC is the adapter only. The pedestal and entry system are separate items unless sold as part of a kit.
