"M1" Single Switch

"M2" Dual Switch for all Adams Rite Exit Devices

A switch in the exit device pushbar mounted on the hinge end. Switch can be used to activate signal light, horn monitor or other devices. Most common application is to release maglock when pushbar is depressed. Switch can be wired for normally open or normally closed depending  upon offers redundancy as required by some building codes or the option of operating a second signaling device.

Specify by adding "M1" or "M2" after exit device model number. Example 8801M1.

"SE" - for all 8000 Series Life-Safety Exit Devices only

For remote control access or access control with an Adams Rite 8000 Series exit device. A 24 volt motor enclosed in pushbar retracts latch mechanism of exit device. Motor draws only 300 milliamps while operating and offers enough torque to overcome most door load situations. The motor draws current only when actually operating so electrical dogging can be achieved with no current draw other than that in the unlocking cycle. Operation is with simple push button, card reader, key pad or other switch. Switch can be momentary, allowing automatic relocking of device or "maintained", to allow electrical dogging. Motor operation has no effect on mechanical exit function of device. Motorized devices can require 1 to 4 seconds for the complete unlocking cycle. Requires a minimum of 4 wires available at door for installation. Ideal for electrical dogging or low frequency access control.

Specify by adding "SE" after exit device model number. Example: 8611SE.

"EL" - for 3000 Series Fire-Rated and 8000 Series Life-Safety Exit Devices

The EL option uses a solenoid mounted in pushbar for instantaneous unlocking and locking of the exit device from a remote location or access control device. Because electrical operation of device is fail-secure this option can be used on fire-rated bars as well as life-safety bars. In the event of a power failure device automatically relocks. Rim devices (3700, 8700 and 8800) are available in 12 VDC or 24 VDC and can be powered with a simple transformer and rectifier. All other devices are available in 24 VDC only and require the use of an Adams Rite 29-0104 power supply. For high frequency applications. See separate specification sheet for complete information.

Specify by adding "EL" after exit device model number. Example 3312EL. (For Rim devices also specify 12 or 24 volt)

8456 - Astragal for Aluminum Doors (Astragal only)

8466 - Coordinator (Coordinator only)

8466 - Astragal/Coordinator Set

The 8456 Astragal covers the gap between pairs of radius stile aluminum doors and increases security. The 8466 Coordinator makes sure the door with the overlapping Astragal closes last. Doors must be equipped with an 8400 Series Mortise Device on the active RHR leaf and an 8600 Series Concealed Vertical Rod Device on the inactive LHR leaf. Astragal is attached to RHR leaf and coordinator is mounted overhead. Unique Coordinator design catches doors on lock stile, preventing damage to doors caused by other types of coordinators. Set includes all hardware necessary for installation. Standard Astragal fits doors up to 84" in height. Extension kit can be added for doors up to 10'  in height. Standard finishes are 628 Clear Anodized, 313 Dark Bronze Anodized and 335 Black Anodized. Not compatible with other exit devices or if 840 devices are reversed. Not for use on centerhung doors.

"A" - for all Adams Rite Exit Devices

This option emits a loud alarm to notify management of unauthorized exit. Will not alter the Life-Safety characteristics of the exit device in any way. Control of the alarm is by use of a key in any standard Mortise cylinder with MS cam to arm, disarm, delay or reset the alarm. Red letters on the bar surface give a "hands off" warning to deter accidental actuation.

"AB" - Battery Operated Alarm

Four AA alkaline batteries power twin horns to create a piercing 95 decibel noise for two minutes (or until disarmed) when pushbar is depressed. Beeps to signal need for new batteries.

"AX" - Battery Alarm with External Harness

Can be connected to external horn for louder or remote signal. Remote monitor LED light can also be wired in, as can a door position proximity switch. Also accommodates an external delay switch, such as an outside key switch or pad, to allow authorized entry.

"AW" - Hardwired Alarm

All the features of Model AX, but uses rechargeable nicad batteries connected to 12-24 Volt AC or DC source. Each bar has its own battery backup system.

"CD" - for all Life-Safety Devices only

For management control of dogging. Any standard 15/16" to 1-1/4" long Mortise cylinder with MS cam can be used in a pushbar prepared at factory with Cylinder Dogging kit. Cannot be used with Alarm, EL or SE options.

Specify by adding "CD" after exit device model number. Example : 8611CD

8099M1 - Single Switch

8099M2- Dual Switch

Dummy pushbar with no latch mechanism but with either a single monitor/signal switch or dual monitor/signal switch. Most common application is in conjunction with a maglock where bar is used to turn off magnet and allow exit from building. Dual switch version allows redundancy where required by code or the operation of a signal device along with maglock. Specify door type and width when ordering. Available in all exit device finishes.

The 8099 is also available as a non-operating dummy for doors not requiring an exit device but where matching trim is desired. Specify door type, opening width and type of exit device to be matched.

3887 - for Fire-Rated and 8800 Series Devices

3889 - for use with 8700 Series Devices

Allows the use of Adams Rite Rim Type exit devices on paired doors without narrowing the doors. The use of a mullion provides higher security and batter traffic flow than paired doors with Vertical Rod exit devices. The 3887 is used for all fire-rated applications or with the 8800 Series devices on aluminum doors. The 3887 is available in primer or with a snap-on anodized aluminum cover. The 3889 is available in primer only. Specify door height when ordering.
