Falcon Lock MEL-F25V-L-NL-DAN-US26D-48X96-LHR Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Exit Device with Dane Lever Nightlatch Trim

Falcon Lock MEL-F25V-L-NL-DAN-US26D-48X96-LHR KIT combines the reliability of a fire-rated surface vertical rod exit device with the convenience of motorized electric latch retraction. Designed for multifamily and commercial facilities, this exit device ensures efficient electronic control while maintaining mechanical egress. With its sleek satin chrome finish (626/US26D), the device not only enhances security but also blends seamlessly into any environment. The motorized electric latch retraction (MEL) allows for easy integration with credential readers, enabling authorized users to unlatch doors momentarily or maintain extended access. Its energy-efficient design accommodates longer wire runs and can be paired with standard Schlage power supplies. The modular design simplifies installation, and built-in diagnostics within the motor assembly facilitate troubleshooting. Additionally, the MEL is vandal-resistant, detecting and responding to attempts at tampering. The device requires a power transfer (EPT, electrified hinge, or door loop) for wiring, sold separately. Operating on a 24VDC system with a low inrush current of just 1 amp, it is compatible with various power supplies. With its self-calibrating motor and electronic push bar functionality when dogged, the Falcon Lock MEL-F25V delivers a secure, efficient, and user-friendly solution for modern access control needs.

KIT - Motorized Electric Latch Retraction, Fire Rated SVR Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device, Escutcheon x Dane Lever Nightlatch Trim 510L-NL, (Requires 1-1/4 Mortise Cylinder), 48in 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
