Falcon Lock MEL-F25R-NL-US26D-48 Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Fire Rated Rim Exit Device 512NL, 24VDC

Falcon Lock MEL-F25R-NL-US26D-48 KIT offers advanced motorized electric latch retraction (MEL) for fire-rated rim exit applications. Designed for multifamily and commercial properties, this device provides a cost-effective solution that combines mechanical egress with modern electronic control. The MEL feature allows authorized users to unlatch doors momentarily via credential readers, or to keep the latches retracted for extended access, making it an ideal alternative to traditional mechanical dogging. This exit device not only meets UL standards but also boasts a robust Grade 1 rating for durability and performance. With a satin chrome finish (626/US26D) and a 48-inch length, it seamlessly integrates into various door styles. The energy-efficient design supports longer wire runs and is compatible with standard Schlage power supplies, simplifying installation and reducing operational costs. The built-in self-calibrating motor assembly enhances reliability, while the vandal-resistant features ensure security against tampering. For added functionality, a power transfer (EPT, electrified hinge, or door loop) is required, sold separately. The MEL-F25R is a versatile choice for those seeking a blend of security, convenience, and performance in exit solutions.

KIT - Motorized Electric Latch Retraction, Fire Rated Rim Exit Device, Nightlatch Pull Trim 512NL, (Requires 1-1/4 Mortise Cylinder), 48in, 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
