Falcon Lock MEL-25R-DT-US26D-36 Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Rim Exit Device 512DT, 36in, 24VDC, Satin Chrome

Falcon Lock MEL-25R-DT-US26D-36 KIT offers an advanced solution for electronic access control with its Motorized Electric Latch Retraction (MEL) feature. Designed for multifamily and commercial facilities, this Grade 1 exit device combines cost-effectiveness with high performance. The 36-inch rim exit device operates on 24VDC and draws only 1 amp, making it energy efficient and compatible with standard Schlage power supplies. The MEL's modular design simplifies installation, allowing for easy upgrades to existing mechanical Falcon 24 or 25 Series devices. It provides mechanical egress while enabling authorized users to unlatch doors via credential readers, or it can be configured for extended access, a practical alternative to mechanical dogging. The device is also vandal-resistant, equipped with features that detect and respond to tampering. To ensure optimal functionality, a power transfer (EPT), electrified hinge, or door loop is required, sold separately. With built-in installation diagnostics and a self-calibrating motor assembly, the MEL-25R offers reliability and ease of troubleshooting. The satin chrome finish (626/US26D) complements a variety of architectural styles, making it both a secure and aesthetically pleasing choice for any entryway.

KIT - Motorized Electric Latch Retraction, Rim Exit Device, Dummy Pull Trim 512DT, 36in, 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
