Falcon Lock 24MELK-4FT-US28-CON Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Kit, 24VDC, 48in for 24 Series, Satin Aluminum

Falcon Lock 24MELK-4FT-US28-CON KIT is a cutting-edge motorized electric latch retraction kit designed to enhance security in multifamily and commercial properties. With a 24VDC 1A power supply, this kit provides an energy-efficient solution for controlling exit devices, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a cost-effective electromechanical latch system. Compatible with most Falcon 24 and 25 Series exit devices, the MEL option ensures mechanical egress while allowing for momentary or prolonged latch retraction, perfect for authorized access. The modular design streamlines installation onto existing Falcon exit devices, and on-board diagnostics facilitate troubleshooting. The self-calibrating motor assembly ensures optimal performance, while the vandal-resistant features provide an added layer of security against tampering. This kit is suitable for integration with credential readers, enhancing access control capabilities. Additionally, the MEL option can be utilized in panic and fire-rated applications, ensuring compliance with safety regulations. To maintain functionality during emergencies, an automatic fire alarm system should be incorporated to drop power in case of fire. Available in a sleek satin aluminum finish (628/US28), the Falcon Lock 24MELK-4FT-US28-CON KIT is a reliable choice for modern security needs, combining convenience, efficiency, and robust protection.

KIT - Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Kit with Allegion Connect, 24VDC 1A, 48in for 24 Series, 628/US28 Satin Aluminum

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
• 630/US32D - Satinless Steel, Satin
• 628/US28 - Anodized Aluminum
• 710/313AN - Anodized Duranodic
