For assistance, contact SARGENT at 800-810-WIRE (9473) or www.sargentlock.com

This instruction manual includes wiring instructions for the 970 (Fail Safe) and 971 (Fail Secure) mortise exit locks to ElectroLynx connector system. These locks are used with 8300 and 8900 mortise 80 series exit devices.

Important

Disconnect all input power before beginning installation to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage. Installer must be a trained, experienced service person.

All wiring must comply with applicable local electrical codes, ordinances and regulations.

CAUTION: The DC voltage applied to the lock solenoid must not exceed 26.2VDC. If the voltage exceeds this value the solenoid may be damaged.

Specifications / Functions

Solenoid

Type: 24VDC, Intermittent or Continuous Duty

Current draw is .25Amp at 24VDC

Fail Safe: Model 970 Fail Secure: Model 971

The system is designed to be installation friendly with pluggable connectors from the electric hinge through the door to the rail. The only wiring required is to the loose wires on the pigtail harness assembly on the frame side of the electric hinge.

IMPORTANT:

The plug and receptacle connectors are designed to mate and lock together as shown in the figure. Plug the connectors into each other with the locking mechanism aligned as indicated.

Installation Notes

• 1. With new applications a raceway harness with 8 and 4 pin connectors will be pre-installed inside door by Assa Abloy door manufacturer when specified during ordering process. Raceway harness kits are also available for retrofit applications. For retrofit applications refer to retrofit instructions.
• 2. If door does not have a raceway harness with connectors, either consult factory for raceway retrofit kit or cut the connectors off product and hard wire as required.
• 3. Wiring to pigtail harness is per facility wiring requirement. The rail, raceway, electric hinge and pigtail connector terminations and wire colors all match.
