Falcon Lock RX-MEL-24C-EO-US26D-48X96 KIT features advanced motorized electric latch retraction (MEL) technology, designed for efficient, energy-conscious control of exit devices. Ideal for multifamily and commercial applications, this exit-only device provides a reliable solution for high-traffic areas, ensuring safety through mechanical egress while facilitating easy access for authorized individuals. With a grade 1 certification, this device is built to last. It measures 48 inches by 96 inches and comes in a sleek satin chrome finish (626/US26D). The MEL system offers compatibility with standard Schlage power supplies, allowing for longer wire runs and easier installations. It seamlessly integrates with credential readers for immediate unlatching, and its modular design simplifies retrofitting existing Falcon 24 or 25 series exit devices. The RX-MEL-24C is equipped with features that enhance security and usability, including vandal resistance and on-board diagnostics for troubleshooting. Additionally, the self-calibrating motor assembly ensures reliable operation. This device requires a power transfer method, sold separately, and is compatible with various strikes for optimal functionality.

KIT - RX Request to Exit, MEL Motorized Electric Latch Retraction, CVR Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device, Exit Only, No Trim, 48in x 96in, No Dogging, 4188 and 2130 Strikes, 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. The MEL option is available on panic and fire rated devices. Because fire exit hardware must be self latching, an automatic fire alarm system must be incorporated to drop power to fire rated MEL devices in case of fire.

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

MEL System 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

Functions:

• EO (01): Exit only, no trim.
• DT (02): Entrance by trim when actuating bar is locked down. Note: Fire exit devices cannot be dogged down. Some codes permit electric dogging with fail secure circuitry.
• NL (03): Entrance by trim when latchbolt is retracted by key. Key removable only when locked.
• L or K (08): Entrance by knob or lever. Key locks or unlocks knob.
• L (NL) or K (NL) (09): Entrance by knob or lever only when released by key. Key removable only when locked.
