Add monitored exit signaling to an approved motorized panic device with the Command Access Technologies PD15REXKIT-M-ED Field-Installable Request-to-Exit (REX) Switch Kit. This hardware-specific retrofit accessory is designed for Command Access motorized exit-device configurations, including the MLRK1-JAC12 Jackson/Kawneer latch-retraction family and compatible PD15/PD16, AHT 8000/9000, Jackson 1285/1295 and Kawneer 1686/1786 applications as defined in the manufacturer's current compatibility documentation.
Motorized Exit-Device REX Selection
The PD15REXKIT-M-ED is specifically identified for compatible motorized exit-device platforms, including select Jackson, Kawneer and AHT applications. Do not interchange it with a REX kit intended only for mechanical or solenoid-driven hardware.
- Before ordering: Record the host device’s complete model and retrofit motor kit, then verify current compatibility documentation and wiring harness revision.
- Signal function: Use the REX contact to report an inside exit actuation to the access controller; confirm dry-contact type and allowable electrical load per manufacturer instructions.
- Field testing: Verify motor actuation and latch retraction separately from REX monitoring, including the correct control-panel signal during manual egress.
The switch detects compatible exit-device pushpad operation and provides an electrical signal to a connected access-control or security input. This makes it possible to recognize an egress event, coordinate approved door alarm behavior, or log use of the interior panic bar. PD15REXKIT-M-ED is a REX monitoring switch kit, not a motorized latch-retraction assembly, complete exit device or standalone access controller.
Key Features and Benefits
- Built for motorized exit-device applications: The -M-ED designation identifies the field-installable REX option intended for Command Access motorized conversions. Choose this version rather than the standard PD15REXKIT-ED mechanical-device kit when the manufacturer specifies the motorized configuration.
- Jackson and Kawneer compatibility: Listed as a field REX upgrade for MLRK1-JAC12 motorized latch retraction, covering approved Jackson and Kawneer exit-device applications.
- Broader compatible motorized platforms: Supplier references identify Command Access motorized PD15/16, AHT 8/9 and Jackson 1285/1295 exit devices. Check the precise model and electrification type before ordering.
- Integrated pushpad monitoring: Switch changes state when the approved exit-device pushpad is operated, providing an egress indication to the associated security or access-control panel.
- Field-installable accessory: Allows the REX feature to be added to an existing compatible motorized device without ordering a complete replacement motor or panic bar.
- Dry-contact request-to-exit concept: For connection to an appropriate monitored input. Confirm common/normally-open/normally-closed options, conductor identification, and electrical limits using the actual kit's wiring sheet.
- Preserves normal mechanical egress: The exit device remains mechanically operable for code-compliant egress when the retrofit is installed and tested properly.
- Commercial access-control applications: Useful for institutional, educational, healthcare, office and retail doors that already use a compatible Command Access motorized exit-device system.
- Manufacturer-backed product family: Command Access publishes a limited three-year warranty on its exit-device switch kit family, subject to current factory terms.

Motorized vs. Mechanical REX Kits
PD15REXKIT-M-ED is intended for a compatible motorized Command Access exit-device retrofit and is the manufacturer-listed field option associated with MLRK1-JAC12. The separately listed PD15REXKIT-ED is a different field kit for appropriate mechanical exit-device configurations. The correct kit depends on the device's exact factory electrification, internal mechanism and motor/solenoid retrofit. These kits should not be treated as interchangeable.
How Request-to-Exit Monitoring Works
On a compatible door, an occupant presses the exit-device pushpad to leave. The retrofit REX switch changes electrical contact state, allowing a connected controller to recognize that the device has been operated. Depending on programmed access-control logic, the panel can log the exit, coordinate a door-position alarm or temporarily suppress a forced-door indication. This switch does not itself retract the latch, energize the existing motor, unlock a door, provide a reader, or change the mechanical egress function.
Installation and Compatibility Checklist
- Identify the installed exit-device manufacturer, model series, length and motorized electrification. Confirm that the proper field REX upgrade is the PD15REXKIT-M-ED rather than the similarly named mechanical kit.
- Verify the current Command Access retrofit matrix for MLRK1-JAC12, Jackson/Kawneer and other compatible motorized devices. Do not assume that every device within a brand's product line is supported.
- Review the manufacturer's specific PD15REXKIT-M-ED instructions for internal switch position, mounting components, wire routing and connector arrangement before modifying the panic device.
- Mount the switch using the approved internal parts, ensuring the contact operates consistently with pushpad movement and does not obstruct the motorized latch retraction mechanism.
- Connect the switch conductors to the appropriate controller input, checking the contact diagram, current/voltage rating and any NO/NC requirements for the installed switch.
- Test the REX signal with the exit-device pushpad at rest and when pressed, and verify that motorized retraction, mechanical egress, latching and door-alarm coordination still function correctly.
- Confirm fire-rating, exit-device listing, emergency-egress and accessibility requirements for the complete opening before returning the door to service.
What's Included and What's Not
Included: One Command Access PD15REXKIT-M-ED field-installable request-to-exit switch kit intended for approved motorized exit-device applications. Verify the current factory packing list for the exact switch assembly, mounting fasteners, lead wires, labels and documentation.
Not included: The Jackson, Kawneer, AHT or PD15/16 panic device; a separate MLRK1-JAC12 motorized latch-retraction kit; access controller, credential reader, power supply, door power-transfer hardware, door or frame. This product is a monitoring accessory, not an entire electric door-locking system.
