Falcon Lock MEL-F25C-TP-US26D-36X96 Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Exit Device, 24VDC, Grade 1, Satin Chrome

Falcon Lock MEL-F25C-TP-US26D-36X96 KIT is a state-of-the-art motorized electric latch retraction (MEL) exit device designed to enhance security and accessibility in multifamily and commercial properties. This fire-rated CVR concealed vertical rod exit device features a thumbpiece pull trim and operates on 24VDC at 1 Amp, ensuring efficient electronic control for reliable egress. With its Grade 1 rating and attractive satin chrome finish, this device not only meets rigorous safety standards but also complements modern architectural aesthetics. The MEL option allows for easy integration with credential readers, enabling momentary unlatching for authorized users or extended latching retraction for free entry. The device's modular design allows for simplified installation on existing Falcon 24 or 25 Series exit devices, making upgrades straightforward. Vandal-resistant features detect tampering, while built-in diagnostics facilitate troubleshooting. Additionally, the self-calibrating motor assembly and electronic dogging capabilities enhance operational efficiency. The MEL-F25C-TP also requires a mortise cylinder (sold separately) and may be paired with various electrified power transfer options for seamless installation. Ensure your safety and convenience with Falcon Lock's innovative exit solutions.

KIT - Motorized Electric Latch Retraction, Fire Rated CVR Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device, Thumbpiece Pull Trim 512TP, (Requires 1-1/4 Mortise Cylinder), 36in x 96in, 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
