Falcon Lock MEL-25R-TP-US26D-48 Motorized Electric Latch Retraction Rim Exit Device 512TP, Satin Chrome

Falcon Lock MEL-25R-TP-US26D-48 KIT offers a reliable motorized electric latch retraction (MEL) system designed to enhance security and convenience for multifamily and commercial properties. This rim exit device features a thumbpiece pull trim and requires a 1-1/4 mortise cylinder, ensuring robust mechanical egress at all times. With a 48-inch length and a 24VDC, 1 Amp power requirement, this Grade 1 device is engineered for energy efficiency and reduced installation complexity. The MEL option allows for direct integration with credential readers, providing a momentary unlatching capability for authorized personnel. It can also be configured for extended latch retraction, facilitating seamless access without mechanical dogging. Key features include a self-calibrating motor assembly, onboard diagnostics for easy troubleshooting, and a vandal-resistant design that detects tampering attempts. The modular design simplifies installation and retrofitting to existing Falcon 24 or 25 Series exit devices. For optimal performance, a power transfer (EPT, electrified hinge, or door loop) is required, sold separately. The MEL-25R-TP-US26D-48 KIT is available in a sleek satin chrome finish (626/US26D), making it an aesthetically pleasing addition to any entry point while ensuring top-tier security.

KIT - Motorized Electric Latch Retraction, Rim Exit Device, Thumbpiece Pull Trim 512TP, (Requires 1-1/4 Mortise Cylinder), 48in, 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
