What electrified options are available on exit devices?

ELECTRIC OPTIONS:

LX (Latchbolt Monitor Switch) – The LX feature is used to signal the use of an opening. This device is equipped with one internal SPDT switch which monitors the latch bolt.

  1. The device can be connected to a security console, or may be used as a single door alarm when used with a horn and power supply. A continuous current electric transfer must be used for transferring power from the frame to the door.
  2. The LX switch option should not be used to control a load, but as a signaling switch (0.5 amps. resistive maximum).
  3. The LX switch is available in a low current (LC) switch. Most commonly used in computer operated monitoring systems.

RX (Pushpad Monitor Switch) – The RX (Request to Exit) feature is used to signal the use of an opening. This device is equipped with one internal SPDT switch which monitors the pushpad.

  1. The device can be connected to a security console, or may be used as a single door alarm when used with a horn and power supply. A continuous current electric transfer must be used for transferring power from the frame to the door.
  2. The RX switch option should not be used to control a load, but as a signaling switch (0.5 amps. resistive maximum).
  3. The RX switch is available in a low current (LC) switch. Most commonly used in computer operated monitoring systems.

RX2 (Double Pushpad Monitor Switch) – The RX2 feature uses two RX switches.

E (Electric Locking & Unlocking) – The electric mortise lock device has all the versatility and advantages of the standard mortise lock device, plus the advantage of being electrically controlled by a remote switching device, an access control system or an automatic fire alarm system. The device features the E7500 mortise lock. The E7500 controls the locking of the outside trim. When unlocked, the door remains latched, preserving the fire rating of the door and making it particularly useful where codes permit locking but require unlocking during a fire emergency. The outside trim cylinder retracts the latch bolt for mechanical override, night latch function. You must specify FS/Fail Safe or FSE/Fail Secure and 12VDC or 24VDC when ordering. Only available with TP, K or L functions.

EL (Electric Latch Retraction) – The EL feature allows for the remote unlatching of exit devices. A control station operator can flip a switch to retract the latch bolt and immediately change an exit door to push-pull operation. A powerful, continuous duty solenoid retracts the latch bolt, either for momentary unlatching, or for extended periods of time. The EL feature is an alternative to manual dogging. This function is inherently FSE/Fail Secure. 

  1. If manual dogging is required. Specify SD-EL. SD-EL/Special Dogging with an EL/Electric Latch retraction device allows you to hold the latch in retraction with a mortise cylinder mounted in the center case assembly. This function is not available on the 9875 or 9975 mortise exit devices. Even though we offer HD-EL/Hex Dogging function to manually dog the device, do not order this function if you plan to use on a daily basis. This type of dogging was only meant to be used during the construction of the building and or if the access control system was not working properly. The constant dogging with this function mat eventually strip the threads out of the solenoid body. The solenoid will have to be replaced if this occurs.
  2. EL devices are also useful with automatic door operators, and may be applied to fire-rated applications when under the control of an automatic fire alarm system.

QEL (Quiet Electric Latch Retraction) -The QEL feature allows for the remote unlatching of exit devices. A control station operator can flip a switch to retract the latch bolt and immediately change an exit door to push-pull operation. Different than the popular EL, the QEL quiet operation is achieved using an electric drive motor which retracts the latch bolt either momentary unlatching or for extended periods of time. This feature is an alternative to manual dogging. This function is inherently FSE/Fail Secure. 

SS (Signal Switch) – Monitors pushpad and latch bolt
The SS feature is used to signal the unauthorized use of an opening. This device is equipped with two internal SPDT switches. One switch monitors both the pushpad and the latch bolt assembly, making the latch bolt tamper resistant, for positive security. An additional SPDT switch is connected to the 1 1/4" (32mm) mortise cylinder with straight cam for alarm “bypass.” (Schlage cam reference B502-191). The device can be connected to a security console, or may be used as a single door alarm when used with a horn and power supply. A continuous current electric transfer must be used for transferring power from the frame to the door.

  1. Pushpad reads: “EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY – PUSH TO OPEN AND SOUND ALARM.” Pushpad is only available in US32D finish with red silk-screened lettering.
  2. The SS mortise lock device is furnished with both the signal switch device and the SS7500 mortise lock. The SS7500 mortise lock has the versatility and advantages of the 7500 lock with the addition of signaling functions to monitor latch bolt operation and the trim locking function. The SS7500 mortise lock is supplied standard with the SS mortise lock device.
  3. Popular SS Application - Unauthorized use of this opening will activate the local horn. The key switch permits inhibiting this system for authorized egress.

CX (Chexit Delayed Exit) – Designed for use on delayed exit applications, the Chexit system is ideal for controlled areas.

  1. All controls, auxiliary locking, local alarm, and remote signaling are self-contained in the Chexit, providing safe, secure, easy to install and simple to operate door control and exit hardware.
  2. Chexit controlled exit device for use on Panic or Fire Exit hardware applications.
  3. This concept in delayed exit systems combines life safety with the needs of security and meets all requirements of NFPA 101 for “Special Locking Arrangement.”

ALK (Alarm Exit Kit) - The ALK battery alarm kit is a simple yet effective way to deter unauthorized use of an opening. While the exit device is still a means of egress, the ALK kit contains an internal horn. When the touch bar is depressed, the horn sounds to provide an audible means of signaling that the opening has been violated. The alarm kit can be armed or disarmed by key. The ALK can be either battery operated or hardwires to 24VDC power supply. The alarm kit also has an EI/External Inhibit feature built into the circuit board. This feature allows you to externally inhibit the ALK with a key switch, key pad or card reader. The horn is rated at 85 decibel.
