  • 3. Remove the manual dogging assembly from the device channel and discard, but keep the screws.
  • 4. Remove the screws that secure the rear touchbar anchor assembly to the device channel for pin access.
  • 5. Locate the 1550K-MDO Kit near the holes that secured the manual dogging assembly.
  • 6. Remove the pin of the rear touchbar anchor assembly enough to position the hook of the connecting link forward of the pin, then return the pin to its original position.
  • 7. Attach the rear touchbar anchor assembly to the device channel.
  • 8. Attach the motor bracket to the device channel using the manual dogging assembly screws through the holes that secured the manual dogging assembly.
  • 9. Attach the supplied spring between the connecting link and the fixed pin of the rear touchbar anchor assembly.

Motor Drive Electric Latch Retraction Adjustment:

  • 1. Verify the device is properly adjusted for mechanical operation. Electric operation should not exceed the mechanical operation or there will be a high risk of damage to the device. We suggest setting the latch retraction under electric operation at 1/16" less than the latch retraction under mechanical operation.
  • 2. Locate the adjustment screw in the rear of the motor assembly. Rotate the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the latch retraction or counterclockwise to decrease the latch retraction.

Onboard Indicator Light Assignments:

Maintain input power to the exit device and check the onboard indicator lights. Remove input power before attempting a solution.
