Falcon Lock MEL-F25C-TP-US26D-48X96 Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Exit Device, CVR, Thumbpiece Pull Trim 512TP

Falcon Lock MEL-F25C-TP-US26D-48X96 KIT offers advanced motorized electric latch retraction, designed specifically for fire-rated applications. This concealed vertical rod exit device features a thumbpiece pull trim and requires a 1-1/4 mortise cylinder, making it ideal for both multifamily and commercial environments where security and efficiency are paramount. With a sleek satin chrome finish (626/US26D), the MEL device operates on 24VDC at 1 Amp, ensuring energy efficiency and compatibility with standard Schlage power supplies. Its modular design allows for easy installation and retrofitting to existing Falcon 24 or 25 series exit devices, enhancing versatility. The self-calibrating motor assembly and built-in diagnostics simplify maintenance and troubleshooting. The Falcon MEL provides mechanical egress at all times, and its motorized latch retraction can be integrated with credential readers for controlled access. This device is vandal-resistant, detecting tampering and responding appropriately to unauthorized attempts. For optimal performance, pairing with a power transfer device (sold separately) is recommended. Whether you're upgrading security for a busy commercial space or enhancing access control in a residential building, the Falcon Lock MEL-F25C-TP-US26D-48X96 KIT is a reliable solution that combines functionality with sophisticated design.

KIT - Motorized Electric Latch Retraction, Fire Rated CVR Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device, Thumbpiece Pull Trim 512TP, (Requires 1-1/4 Mortise Cylinder), 48in 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
