The Arrow F430G 26D Fire-Rated Alarmed Rim Exit Device provides mechanical emergency egress and integrated audible exit monitoring for commercial and institutional fire-door applications.

Part of the Arrow 400 Series Alarmed Hardware, this 48-inch exit device combines a fire-rated rim latching mechanism with a 90-decibel alarm, 9V battery-powered electronics, automatic alarm reset, and electronically monitored latchbolt.

Designed for outward-swinging commercial doors measuring 37 inches to 48 inches wide, the F430G 26D is suitable for appropriately listed fire-door assemblies requiring immediate emergency egress and audible notification of unauthorized exit activity.

When the alarm is armed, unauthorized operation of the pushbar retracts the latchbolt and activates a dual-frequency pulsating horn. The alarm sounds for approximately two minutes before automatically shutting off and rearming.

A flashing red LED identifies an alarm violation and continues to flash after the audible cycle until cleared through authorized interior key operation.

The unit also includes a 15-second authorized-passage feature, allowing designated personnel to exit without activating the alarm. This feature controls the audible alarm—it does not delay or restrict the mechanical release of the door.

The F430G features a 3/4-inch electronically monitored latchbolt, non-ferrous alloy chassis, rolled steel touchbar assembly, and reversible handing.

Its US26D / 626 Satin Chrome finish coordinates with commercial door hardware commonly used in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and institutional environments.

The fire-rated configuration is intended for compatible door assemblies requiring positive latching. Mechanical dogging must not be used.

An interior 1-1/8-inch mortise cylinder provides key-operated alarm arming and disarming and is ordered separately.

Important: This listing is for the Arrow F430G 26D fire-rated exit device only. Exterior operating trim, the interior arming cylinder, and other separately specified hardware are not included.

How the Arrow F430G 26D Works

1. Door Closed

The device's rim latchbolt engages the properly installed fire-exit strike.

2. Alarm Armed

The internal alarm system monitors the latchbolt for unauthorized movement.

3. Pushbar Activation

An occupant depresses the horizontal exit pushbar.

4. Immediate Emergency Egress

The latchbolt retracts, allowing the occupant to open the door without waiting for an alarm timer.

5. Audible Alarm

Unauthorized latchbolt movement triggers the 90 dB pulsating horn.

6. Visual Alarm Indication

The red LED flashes to identify the alarm event.

7. Automatic Reset

The audible horn stops after approximately two minutes and the alarm system automatically rearms.

8. Violation Indicator

The red LED continues flashing until cleared by authorized key operation.

9. Door Relatching

When the compatible fire door closes, the mechanical latch engages the approved strike.

10. Battery Monitoring

An intermittent chirp alerts maintenance personnel when battery replacement is required.
