Falcon Lock MEL-F25R-TP-US26D-36 Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Rim Exit Device, 36in, Satin Chrome

Falcon Lock MEL-F25R-TP-US26D-36 KIT is a cutting-edge motorized electric latch retraction (MEL) system designed for fire-rated rim exit devices. This unit features a thumbpiece pull trim and is compatible with a 1-1/4 mortise cylinder. Engineered for efficiency, the MEL option provides an affordable, energy-efficient solution for multifamily and commercial buildings, ensuring mechanical egress at all times. The 36-inch device is UL listed and operates on a 24VDC system with a 1 Amp draw, classified as Grade 1 for durability. With its modular design, the MEL Conversion kit simplifies installation on existing Falcon 24 or 25 Series exit devices, making upgrades straightforward. The self-calibrating motor assembly and on-board diagnostics streamline troubleshooting, while the vandal-resistant features enhance security against tampering. For optimal performance, a power transfer method, such as an electrified hinge or door loop, is required and sold separately. The MEL system can also be integrated with credential readers, allowing for controlled access for authorized users and extended periods of free entry. Available in a sleek satin chrome finish (626/US26D), the Falcon Lock MEL-F25R-TP is an ideal choice for enhancing both security and convenience in high-traffic areas.

KIT - Motorized Electric Latch Retraction, Fire Rated Rim Exit Device, Thumbpiece Pull Trim 512TP, (Requires 1-1/4 Mortise Cylinder), 36in, 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
