Adams Rite Manufacturing

Exit Devices can be ordered with electrification Options for standalone access control or integration with maglocks, card readers, keypads, fire alarms, power door operators, and other control systems. Different exit device types have different installation and power requirements.

Electric Latch Retraction:

The EL option for rim exit devices and LR option for all other exit devices (non-rim exit devices) use a solenoid mounted under the pushbar for instantaneous unlocking and locking of the exit device from a remote location or access control device. Because electrical operation of device is fail-secure, this option can be used on fire-rated as well as life-safety applications. In the event of a power failure, device automatically relocks.

• Available on all 8000 | 3000 Series.
• Solenoid driven latch retraction.
• Available for 30" - 48" doors.
• LR 16 A inrush during retraction and 500 mA in dogged hold position.
• EL requires 1.5A at 12 VDC and 600 mA at 24 VDC.
• Continuous or intermittent use.
• Configured for fail-secure. In the event of a power failure, the exit device defaults to latched condition.
• Available for panic and fire exit hardware.
• Compatible with REX monitoring.
• Specify EL or LR when ordering.

Motorized Latch Retraction:

The Motorized Latch Retraction (MLR) option incorporates a powerful and efficient motor to unlatch the exit device. Motor-powered latch retraction provides a quieter operation than solenoid Options. Adams Rite recommends that for optimal performance all exit devices with MLR option be paired with PS-SE Power Supplies.

• Available on all 8000 | 3000 Series.
• Factory calibrated with optional field calibration.
• Audible chirps for calibration confirmation and bar binding.
• Robust linkage mechanism for extended operation.
• Motor-driven latch and bar retraction.
• Available for 30" - 48" doors.
• 850 mA during retraction and 370 mA maintained in dogged hold position at 24VDC.
• MLR option available only in standard 24VDC; Requires 2 A at 24VDC regulated/filtered power supply.
• Continuous or intermittent use.
• Configured for fail-secure. In the event of a power failure, the exit device defaults to latched condition.
• Available for panic and fire exit hardware.
• Compatible with REX monitoring
• Specify MLR when ordering.
