Falcon Lock MEL-25C-L-NL-DAN-US26D-36X96-RHR Motorized Electric Latch Retraction CVR Vertical Rod Exit Device with Dane Trim

Falcon Lock MEL-25C-L-NL-DAN-US26D-36X96-RHR KIT integrates advanced motorized electric latch retraction (MEL) technology into a concealed vertical rod exit device. Designed for multifamily and commercial real estate applications, this exit device offers a cost-effective solution while ensuring reliable mechanical egress. The MEL feature allows for energy-efficient electronic control, enabling authorized users to access doors through credential readers or providing extended periods of free entry without the need for mechanical dogging. This model is compatible with Falcon’s 24 and 25 Series exit devices and provides a modular design for easy installation with existing mechanical devices. With a robust grade 1 construction, the satin chrome finish adds to its durability while resisting vandalism. The self-calibrating motor assembly includes built-in diagnostics for streamlined installation and troubleshooting. The MEL device operates on a 24VDC system with a low 1 Amp inrush current, making it compatible with standard Schlage power supplies. This exit device requires a mortise cylinder (sold separately) and can be enhanced with security monitoring options and fail-safe electric trims. Configure your security access needs with the Falcon Lock MEL-25C-L-NL-DAN, ensuring safety and convenience for high-traffic areas.

KIT - Motorized Electric Latch Retraction, CVR Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device, Escutcheon x Dane Lever Nightlatch Trim 510L-NL, (Requires 1-1/4 Mortise Cylinder), 36in x 96in, RHR Right Hand Reverse/Reversible, 24VDC 1 Amp, Grade 1, 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.

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
• A power transfer (EPT, electrified hinge, door loop) provides a wiring path from the door to the frame. If an EPT (Electric Power Transfer) is utilized, the door and frame must be factory prepped.

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
• A power transfer (EPT, electrified hinge, or door loop) is required and sold separately
• Security monitoring (DM, LM, RX)
• Fail Safe/Fail Secure electric trim (FSA/FSE)

Compatible Options:

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

EPT Options:

• EPT-2: Two 18AWG wires with a max rating of 24VDC, 5A or 120 VAC NEC class 3
• EPT-10: Ten 24AWG wires with a max rating of 24VDC, 1A
