Falcon Lock 25MELK-3FT-US28 24VDC Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Kit for 25 Series, 3ft, Anodized Aluminum

Falcon Lock 25MELK-3FT-US28 Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Kit offers a sophisticated and energy-efficient solution for controlling exit devices, specifically designed for the Falcon 25 Series, excluding the mortise variant. Operating at 24VDC and 1A, this 3ft kit seamlessly integrates with multifamily and commercial properties, providing a competitive electromechanical latch retraction option. The motorized electric latch retraction (MEL) feature allows for electronic control, enabling doors to unlatch temporarily for authorized personnel or remain unlatched for extended periods, enhancing accessibility without compromising safety. This product is compatible with credential readers and can be used with automatic operators, making it a versatile choice for various applications. Designed with installation simplicity in mind, the modular kit can be easily added to existing Falcon exit devices, and the self-calibrating motor assembly ensures reliable performance. Vandal resistance is built into the design, detecting and responding to tampering events. The MEL is also suitable for panic and fire-rated devices, complying with safety standards by incorporating an automatic fire alarm system that ensures power is cut during emergencies. Available in a sleek anodized aluminum finish, the Falcon Lock 25MELK-3FT-US28 is a robust choice for enhancing security and accessibility in your facility.

Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Kit, 24VDC 1A, 3ft for 25 Series Except 25-M (Mortise), 628/US28 Anodized 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).
