BEFORE INSTALLATION

• 1. Check "Parts List" (see page 2).
• 2. Prepare door using template on page 16.
• 3. Set initial rod lengths (see page 11). Rods are factory set for standard 7' door.
• 4. If door width is non-standard, cut device (see page 12).
• 5. If necessary, re-hand device (see page 11).

INSTALLATION

1 Install rod assemblies.

1.1. Install top rod assembly into door. Secure with #10-32 x 1/4" housing screws, retaining ring, and rod bearing bushing. Make sure retaining ring fits securely into groove.

1.2. Install bottom rod assembly into door same as top rod assembly.

! NOTE

For hex bottom rod, hex guide mounting holes are horizontal. Use two #10-24 x 3/8" mounting screws provided in hex mounting package to mount hex guide. Discard two extra #10-32 x 1/4" mounting screws in device mounting package.

2 Mount device.

• 2.1. Start two 1/4-20 x 1/2" pan head hinge stile mounting screws in channel end cap. Leave screws loose.
• 2.2. Slide device channel under channel end cap aligning channel slots.
• 2.3. Attach lock stile of device to door using two 1/4-20 x 1/2" flat head lock stile mounting screws and tighten securely all four mounting screws.

3 Install traveler lift bracket over rod ends as shown.

4 Prepare hole and wire EL/RX device. (If device is not EL/RX, go to Step 5.)

4.1. Drill 3/8" diameter hole for EL/RX wiring through channel end cap, channel, and inside face of door.

4.2. Wire RX switch as shown below. For EL wiring, go to Step 4.3.

4.3. Wire EL solenoid as shown below. All EL1690 devices are fail secure.

Top Rod Adjustment

• 5.1. Dog the device. If it dogs and undogs freely, go to Step 5.2. If it does not, the top rod is too long. To determine how much to shorten the top rod:
  • A. Undog the device.
  • B. Hold the top rod all the way up and push the lift arm to the bottom of its travel with the touchbar completely out.
  • C. Measure the distance between the bottom of the traveler projection and the top of the lift arm roller (see Figure 5-1).
  • D. Subtract the distance from 1/2".
  • E. Using the difference from Step D, find the number of turns to shorten the top rod from the "Rod Adjustment Table" below.
  • F. Remove the top rod and shorten it by the required number of turns. Reinstall the top rod.
• 5.2. Dog the device and push the traveler against the lift arm while maintaining pressure on the traveler. Attempt to pivot the top latch bolt (See Figure 5-2). If the top latch bolt pivots freely, go to Step 5.3. If the top latch bolt drags or lifts the top rod, the top rod is too short. To determine how much to lengthen the top rod:
  • A. Push the traveler all the way down then slowly lift it away from the lift arm until the top latch bolt moves freely.
  • B. Measure the distance between the bottom of the traveler projection and the top of the lift arm roller (see Figure 5-1).
  • C. Using the measured distance, find the number of turns to lengthen the top rod from the "Rod Adjustment Table" below.
  • D. Remove the top rod and lengthen it by the required number of turns. Reinstall the top rod.

Bottom Rod Adjustment

• 5.3. Undog the device and push down firmly on the lift arm and on the end of the bottom rod (be sure the touchbar is all the way out). Find the distance of the bottom rod from the bottom of the door. Make sure you measure from the bottom of the door, not from the latch housing. If the bottom rod is flush with the door or sticks out from the door no more than 1/32" go to Step . 7
• 5.4. If the bottom rod sticks out more than 1/32" the bottom rod is too long. To determine how much to shorten the bottom rod:
  • A. Measure the distance that the bottom rod sticks out of the door and look up the number of turns required to shorten the bottom rod in the "Rod Adjustment Table."
  • B. Remove the bottom rod, shorten it by the required number of turns, and reinstall the bottom rod.
• 5.5. If the bottom rod is recessed into the door by more than 1/16" the bottom rod is too short. To determine how much to lengthen the bottom rod:
  • A. Measure the distance that the bottom rod is recessed into the door and look up the number of turns required to lengthen the bottom rod in the "Rod Adjustment Table."
  • B. Remove the bottom rod, lengthen it by the required number of turns, and reinstall bottom rod.

6 Install outside cylinder. (If no outside cylinder, go to Step 8.)

• 6.1. Remove traveler lift bracket and axle (Figure 6-1).
• 6.2. Cut cylinder tailpiece to correct length (Figure 6-2).
• 6.3. Install cylinder into door and secure with two mounting screws. Screws must be flush with surface of door.

The lift arm should remain attached to the device. Removing the axle simplifies Step 6.2.

Figure 6-2 Figure 6-1

7 Install pinion cam, retractor, and traveler lift bracket (for outside cylinder only).

• 7.1. With cylinder in locked position and key removed, install cylinder bushing and pinion cam into hole (Figure 7-1). Orient pinion cam as shown.
• 7.2. Install retractor into traveler under tabs and place over rods (Figure 7-2). Position retractor as shown for NL or HB function (Figure 7-3).

Apply a light coating of Duralub or equivalent lubricant to prolong life of pinion cam.

Figure 7-1

Install retractor with teeth to right as shown for both RHR and LHR doors; this makes all keys function in the same direction

Figure 7-3

8 Install pinion gear support bracket, retainer screw, and axle.

8.1. Install pinion gear retainer, retainer screw, and axle. (Retainer screw and axle are interchangeable.)

9 Install covers.

• 9.1. Install center case cover over center case and tighten securely with two (#8 x 5/8" FPHTC) cover screws.
• 9.2. Place hinge stile end cap over pushbar and secure with two (#8 x 1-1/2" FPHTC) end cap mounting screws.

10 Perform functional check.

• 10.1. Press touchbar and release so top latch locks forward. Bottom latch bolt should be flush to within 1/32" to bottom of door.
• 10.2. Dog device. Top latch should pivot freely.

TOUCHBAR DOGGING

! NOTE

These instructions are for touchbar dogging of new style DOM 1690 devices. New style devices have two cover screws installed vertically into the center case cover. (Old style devices have four cover screws installed horizontally into the center case cover.)

! NOTE

EL (electric latch retraction) devices cannot be mechanically dogged using the touchbar. If mechanical hold back is required in addition to electric latch hold back, use the pull side HB key cylinder option.

To Dog Device (hold latch retracted)

• 1. Depress touchbar with hand and maintain pressure on touchbar.
• 2. Insert dogging key into hole on touchbar.
• 3. Rotate key approximately 1/8 turn clockwise.
• 4. Release pressure on touchbar (touchbar will remain depressed to door).

To Undog Device (panic latch locks upon closing)

• 1. Depress touchbar with hand and maintain pressure on touchbar.
• 2. Insert dogging key into hole on touchbar.
• 3. Rotate key approximately 1/8 turn counterclockwise.
• 4. Release pressure on touchbar (touchbar will extend from door).

SETTING ROD LENGTHS

! NOTE

Factory length settings are for standard 7' door (door height = 83.187") with C dimension = 41.313": TR = 41-7/32" (41.219") and BR = 39-25/32" (39.781")

1. Determine top rod set length TR: TR = door height C 0.655"

where C = distance from center line of pinion to bottom of door (template standard is 41-5/16").

• 2. Set top rod to nearest 1/32" as determined in Step 1. Jamb nut must be tightened so bent end of rod is parallel to sides of latch housing.
• 3. Determine overall bottom rod length BR: BR = C 1.532"

4. Set bottom rod to nearest 1/32" as determined in Step 3. For RL bottom rod assembly, jamb nut must be tightened so bent end of rod is parallel to sides of latch housing. For hex bottom rod assembly, jamb nut must be tightened so bent end of rod is perpendicular to flat on hex bolt (see end view).

End View Rod end must be parallel toflat on hex bolt

RE-HANDING DEVICE

• 1. Remove axle (Figure 1).
• 2. Remove lift arm and reinstall on opposite side (Figure 2).
• 3. Reinstall axle and tighten securely (Figure 3).
• 4. Verify that lift arm moves smoothly when touchbar is depressed. Figure 1 Figure 2

Figure 3

FIELD SIZING DEVICE

Note: These instructions assume a 1/2" blade stop on the door frame.

• 1. Determine door clear opening. This is the distance inside the frame.
• 2. Determine channel cut length A : A = door opening 2-27/32"
• 3. Verify that A determined in Step 2 is not less than minimum A dimension listed in table. Standard 1690 devices can be shortened by up to 6". EL devices can be shortened by up to 1.5".

Standard Device Size	Factory Dimension A	Standard Device Minimum Dimension A	EL Device Minimum Dimension A
2' 6"	27.138"	21.138"	25.638"
3' 0"	33.138"	27.138"	31.638"
3' 6"	39.138"	33.138"	37.638"
4' 0"	45.138"	39.138"	43.638"

4. Determine touchbar cut length B : B = door opening 5-7/32"

5. Remove two end cap screws, end cap, and touchbar.

7. Cover device mechanism to keep chips out and cut channel to dimension A from Step 2.

8. If hinge stile has not been prepared for channel hinge stile 1/4-20 mounting screws:

Place hinge stile end cap into hinge end of channel. Drill through the center of end cap slots using a letter "I" drill. These two holes will be used to transfer location of mounting screw holes to hinge stile when device is applied to door.

If hinge stile has been prepared for channel hinge stile 1/4-20 mounting screws:

Using end cut from channel in Step 3 as a template, place backs of channel sections against each other and align ends. Mark slot pattern on the cut-down channel. Following all safety precautions, use a drill and aluminum saw to cut slots in cut-down channel section.

• 9. Clean debris from touchbar and channel.
• 10. Slide pushbar over touchbar pins. Make sure to install both pins in lower slot in pushbar. If touchbar bracket is removed, it should be reinstalled with stop tabs turned up away from channel.

11. Reinstall end cap and screws.

1990 RETROFIT INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove crossbar device, door con studs, traveler, retractor, pinion, pinion bushing, rod bushings and rings from door.

Note: Pinion, pinion bushing, and retractor present on NL/HB devices only.

• 2. If non-standard door width, follow field sizing directions on page 12 to size device to appropriate length.
