If device is mounted higher or lower than shown, rod length must change. Lengthen or cut top and bottom rods as shown in " Rod Assembly and Preliminary Adjustment " on page 9 .

Note:

Bottom bolt will retract to 1/8" (3mm) above floor strike. Floor covering in the door path must be laid accordingly.

5 Pre-Installation (continued)

d Prepare Door, Frame and Sill

• 3. Locate top strike and bottom strike templates, aligned on centerline of rods and strikes on door.
• 4. Tape templates in place and mark holes. (Figure 7 )

Note:

Auxiliary door marker is included to verify correct door preparation. Reinforced doors and frames, with factory made cutouts, are recommended.

• 5. Locate and tape trim template to door. (See instructions packed with trim)
• 6. Mark and prepare holes per installation template.

Device and Bolt Case Plates: Use two (2) 1/4-20 machine screws for metal reinforced doors OR two (2) 3/8" (10) diameter sex nuts and bolts for each.

Top Strike: Use two (2) 10-24 machine screws.

Note:

Third screw MUST ONLY be used to lock strike in final position (See "Rod Assembly and Preliminary Adjustment " Step 7).

Bottom Strike: 5/8" (16) diameter x 3/4" (19) deep hole.

e Size Device

Device must be field cut to size, unless standard opening and device are 36" (0.91m). ( Figure 8)

• 6. Tape gauge to door face.
• 7. Connect top latch to rod assembly. Latchbolt must be fully extended. See Detail 2 Figure 10; Figure 12-E.
• 8. Set top latch assembly in place on door. Maintain 1/8" (3) location from top of door as shown. (Figure 12-F)
• 9. Align yoke pin holes in arm and bracket assembly with alignment hole in rod setup gauge. (Figure 12-G)
• 10. Adjust top latch and rod assembly for proper alignment.
• Thread deadbolt into bottom rod assembly. Set bottom rod assembly in place on door. (Figure 12-H)

• 2. Attach top latch with six (6) #10-24 X 1/2" PFHMS. (Figure 14- B)
• 3. Install bottom bolt case with six (6) #10-24 X 1/2" PFHMS. (Figure 14- C)
• 4. Thread set screw into yoke pins (Insert with hex socket end inside pin).
• 5. Thread #8-32 x 2" PHPMS screws into slotted end of yoke pins, until seated to hex head set screw. See Detail 1 - Figure 13 .
• 6. Install two (2) yoke pin assemblies into arm and bracket assemblies. (Figure 14- E)

Detail 1

c Install Device

• 1. Mount trim when required. (Follow instructions packed with trim.)
• 2. Seat device in place. (Figure 15 -B)
• 3. Connect device to arm and bracket assemblies using temporary screws to position yoke pins in latch head.
• 4. Install e-ring into yoke pin grooves.
• 5. Fasten device latch head using two (2) 1/4- 20 PRHMS or 3/8" (10) dia. SNB. ( Figure 16) Remove temporary screws.

Be certain to retighten yoke pins after removal of temporary screws.

• 6. Center end of device on horizontal reference line of door.
• 7. Using end clamp as a template, locate end clamp mounting holes.

6 Installation (continued)

d Install Strikes

Detail X:

Figure 18

Detail Y:

Note:

Bottom bolt will retract to 1/8" (3mm) above floor strike. Floor covering in door path must be laid out accordingly.

6 Installation (continued)

e Complete Installation

• 1. Rehang door plumb and true to opening.
• 2. Set strike roller between tripping lever and bolt. DO NOT PRELOAD BOLT. ( Figure 20 )

Note:

Rods should move freely inside door. Bolts extend automatically and should deadlock when door closes and tripping lever hits frame. Top bolt should retract flat. Bottom bolt should travel 1/2" (13 mm) and engage 3/8" (9.5 mm) into strike in down position without dragging on floor surface in up position.

• 3. Test device action by touchbar, by trim, and by dogging. Adjust as needed.
• 4. Adjust rod for proper bolt throw:
  • a. Use 3/32" (2.4 mm) hex wrench to remove set screws B1 and B2. (Figure 20)
  • b. Adjust top rod first with adjusting screw C1. (Figure 20)
  • c. With device in dogged position (panic devices) or touchbar fully depressed (fire devices), adjust top rod so that top latchbolt is flush and hold back feature is engaged.
  • d. Lengthen top rod an additional 1/2 turn for proper latchbolt positioning.

Note:

• If adjusting screws bottom out before proper device operation, door and device must be removed so larger adjustments may be made by threading rod in or out, or by moving cotter pin to different hole in rod.
• • To avoid thread damage and provide positive locking, be sure set screws engage flats on adjusting screws.

Installation (continued)

e

Complete Installation (continued)

• e. Adjust bottom rod with adjusting screw C2. (Figure 21)
• f. With top latch retracted in hold back position, and touchbar dogged or fully depressed, adjust bottom rod so that deadbolt clears strike by 1/16" (1.6 mm). The bottom rod should be in position in active case with square head of connector hanging in the guide.
• g. Check device operation by opening and closing the door. An additional minor adjustment may be required for full retraction and correct strike engagement. Top latch should consistently go into holdback with gentle (full) press of touchbar.

Note:

To avoid thread damage and provide positive locking, be sure set screws engage flats on adjusting screws.

• 5. After acceptable device function, install third screw in top strike to lock strike in position with 10-24 x 3/4" PFHMS.
• 6. Install device cover and end cap with (2) 8-32 PFHMS each.

Installation Instructions

7 Maintenance

• Periodically remove covers and coat mechanisms with an appropriate lubricant. This is particularly essential in corrosive environments for proper product function.
• Check mounting fasteners periodically. Re-tighten if found loose. Apply threadlocking compound or change part fasteners if screws continue to back out.
• Periodic checks (and adjustments) or rods may be required to compensate for changes in the opening (e.g. door sagging).
