11 INSTALL THE BOTTOM ROD:

Note: The regular length of the bottom rod is suitable for a crossbar height of 37" from the floor. The adjusting bolt in the bottom of the rod will compensate for minor variations from that height. If the crossbar height is as short as 36-1/2" from the floor, it will be necessary to out the bottom rod.

ED6400 Series Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device

Installation Instructions

tt your door width is 48" or greater and the inactive Case does not contain the extra spring and guide rod they should be ordered and installed in the following way. (1) Remove top casting and lever assembly. (2) Remove case wrap around. (3) Mount back plate on door. (4) Insert guide rod and spring above post in center of case as shown. (5) Use case wrap around to compress the spring and snap wrap around into place. (6)

REPLACE THE ACTIVE AND INACTIVE CASE COVERS:

Position top of case first, engaging lip on cover and case. Secure with Phillips Screw.

INSTALL THE CROSSBAR:

TIGHTLY SECURE SCREWS USING SCREWDRIVER THROUGH BOW OF HEX WRENCH FURNISHED.

IF AFTER COMPLETION OF INSTALLATION, CROSS BAR DOES NOT WORK FREELY, CHECK INSTALLA-TION FOR BINDING OF LEVERS DUE TO IMPROPER BAR LENGTH OR CASE MISALIGNMENT.

ADJUST THE TOP ROD:

A Pull down on the top latch slide to fully project the top latchbolt.

B Turn the knurled adjusting bolt in the rad connector until the hole in the head is in line with the holes in the slide.

C Insert the 3/16" diameter connecting pin through the side of the frame into the holes in the slide and

A. If the top rod has been correctly adjusted, the top latchbolt will retract to clear the strike roller when the crossbar is depressed or when the outside trim is

B. If your device has been furnished with a free type latch, the latchbolt will project automatically when the crossbar is released. After top rod adjustment - open door and allow to close under own power. If latch does not retract when making contact with strike rollers, turn adjustment bolt outward one turn at a time until latch bolt retracts.

C. If your device has been furnished with a holdback type latch, the latchbolt will remain retracted when the crossbar or outside trim is released while the door is open. Depressing the plunger at the top of the latch assembly will project the latchbolt. If the latchbolt does not remain retracted after the crosstar or trim has been released, pull the connecting pin and turn the adjusting bolt outward one turn. If necessary, repeat this procedure one turn at a time until the latchbolt goes into the holdback condition.

D. If the action of the latch is aluggish, it is most likely that the rods are not dropping freely. Review CHECK POINT under

INSTALL THE BOTTOM STRIKE:

If threshold is not used, mount bottom strike. SURFACE STRIKE: Center on Backset Line on door. With door shut against stop, hold Strike against door at FLUSH STRIKE: Center on Backset Line on door. Mortise floor 7/8" deep with Center Line of Strike 1" from face of door when door is shut against stop.

18 INSTALL THE BOTTOM LATCH:

Remove the cover and fasten the bottom latch assembly to the door with the 1/4-20 pan head screw and sexnut.

Through the hole in each frame tab, spot and drill a 5/32" diameter hole. Install the #12 round head sheet metal/wood

REPLACE TOP AND BOTTOM LATCH COVERS:

USE SPANNER WRENCH PACKED WITH THE EXIT DEVICE TO TIGHTEN THE COVER RETAINING

TEST OPERATION

From The Inside: When the prosphar is depressed, the latchbolts should retract to clear the strikes. Holdback type tatches will remain retracted while the door is open and will project automatically when the door is closed. Free type latches will project as soon as the crossbar is released. When the crossbar is dogged down, the latches remain retracted to allow the door to be free swinging.

From The Outside: The key locks and unlocks the device. When locked, the thumbpiece or knob will operate but will not retract the latches. The doors will not open.

Turning the key counterclockwise unlocks the device. Operating the thumbpiece or knob will retract the latches allowing the door to open. Free type latches will project automatically when the thumbpiece or knob is released. Holdback type latches will remain retracted while the door is
