KIT - Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Kit with Allegion Connect, 24VDC 1A, 36in for 24 Series, 626/US26D Satin Chrome

Motorized electric latch retraction (MEL) provides energy efficient electronic control of an exit device for an affordable around the door solution. The MEL option is Falcon’s solution of choice for multifamily and commercial real estate facilities where cost competitive electromechanical latch retraction is desired. It is available on most Falcon 24 and 25 Series exit devices (not available for mortise 25-M or F-25-M). These devices always provide mechanical egress. Motorized electric latch retraction can be used with credential readers to unlatch doors momentarily for authorized users, or it can be incorporated with systems to retract latches for extended periods of time to allow free entry. This is a convenient alternative to mechanical dogging. Doors with automatic operators also may use exit devices with electric latch retraction. The MEL option is available on panic and fire rated devices. Because fire exit hardware must be self latching, an automatic fire alarm system must be incorporated to drop power to fire rated MEL devices in case of fire.

Features:

• MEL option available on 24 and 25 Series exit devices, except 25-M (mortise).
• Energy efficient motorized latch retraction enables longer wire runs and the use of a standard Schlage power supply with option board.
• Modular design allows for a simplified installation of the available MEL Conversion kit to existing mechanical Falcon 24 or 25 exit devices.
• On-board installation and troubleshooting diagnostics built into the motor assembly.
• Self-calibrating motor assembly.
• Push bar is pulled in electronically when dogged.
• Vandal resistant – detects and responds to events of attack and tampering.

Requirements:

• The MEL has a low inrush current = 1.0 amps, so it can be used with standard Schlage power supplies. When powering multiple components, verify that the amperage requirement of all components combined does not exceed the power supply output rating. The MEL device is compatible with the following equipment: PS900 Series power supplies PS902, 904, 906, 914; 900 Series Option Boards - 900-2RS, 900-4R and 900-4RL.

Options:

• Security monitoring (DM, LM, RX).
• Fail Safe/Fail Secure electric trim (FSA/FSE).

Finishes:

• 605/US3 - Brass, Bright
• 606/US4 - Brass, Satin
• 612/US10 - Bronze, Satin
• 625/US26 - Chromium, Bright
• 626/US26D - Chromium, Satin
