Falcon Lock MEL-F25C-L-QUA-US26D-36X96-LHR Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Exit Device, CVR Concealed Vertical Rod, 24VDC

Falcon Lock MEL-F25C-L-QUA-US26D-36X96-LHR KIT offers a sophisticated motorized electric latch retraction (MEL) solution, designed for fire-rated applications with concealed vertical rod exit devices. This device is particularly suited for multifamily and commercial real estate settings, providing a cost-effective electromechanical option that ensures both security and convenience. Constructed with a robust satin chrome finish (626/US26D), the MEL device is UL listed and operates at 24VDC with a low inrush current of 1.0 amp, making it compatible with standard Schlage power supplies. The modular design simplifies installation and allows for retrofitting existing Falcon 24 or 25 series exit devices with the MEL conversion kit. With its self-calibrating motor assembly and built-in diagnostics, troubleshooting and maintenance are straightforward. The MEL enhances accessibility by allowing momentary unlatching through credential readers or can be configured for extended access periods. The system is vandal-resistant, detecting and responding to tampering attempts. To ensure proper operation, a power transfer solution is required, sold separately. Upgrade your exit security with the Falcon Lock MEL-F25C, combining durability, efficiency, and advanced technology in one device.

KIT - Motorized Electric Latch Retraction, Fire Rated CVR Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device, Escutcheon x Quantum Lever Trim 510L, (Requires 1-1/4 Mortise Cylinder), 36in x 96in, LHR Left Hand Reverse/Reversible, UL, 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
