EL
Electric latch retraction
Overview
The Electric Latch (EL) feature provides remote latch retraction ability to exit devices. A control station operator can flip a switch to retract the latch bolt and immediately change an exit door to push-pull operation. A powerful, continuous solenoid retracts the latch bolt, either for momentary unlatching, or for extended periods of time. The EL feature is an alternative to manual dogging. This feature is available for 98/99 and 33A/35A Series rim, mortise and vertical rod exit devices. There are three dogging options available with the EL feature:
- § EL electric latch retraction with no manual dogging
- § HD-EL electric latch retraction with manual hex key dogging
- § SD-EL electric latch retraction with special center case cylinder dogging (Note: this option is not available on some exit devices. Please refer to price book.)
EL devices are also useful with automatic door operators, and may be applied to fire-rated devices when under the control of an automatic fire alarm system.
