The Von Duprin Alarm Kit (ALK) and Falcon Exit Alarm (EA) options are designed to use a 1 ¼" Mortise Cylinder with a straight cam (reference Schlage 20-001, L583-477 cam).
The cylinder can be either a Conventional cylinder or an Interchangeable Core (IC).
The length of the cylinder and the shape of the cam determine whether the cylinder will work in these features.
If a cylinder longer than 1 ¼" is used, then a blocking ring will be necessary to make up the difference..
For example, if the cylinder being used is 1 3/8" long (B dimension below from the faceplate to the back of the cam), then a 1/8" blocking ring would be necessary (1 3/8" - 1 ¼" = 1/8").
The blocking ring should be purchased with the cylinder.
