Technical Specifications

How the Electric Latch Retraction Works

Step 1 – Access Control Activation

A compatible access control system, card reader, push button, or automatic door controller initiates an authorized opening request.

Step 2 – Motorized Latch Retraction

The connected Detex power supply/controller energizes the electric latch retraction motor.

Step 3 – Simultaneous Retraction

The latchbolt and pushpad retract together, allowing the door to open without mechanical resistance from the latched exit device.

Step 4 – Automatic Door Operation

If connected to an automatic door operator, the controller can coordinate latch retraction before the automatic opening cycle begins.

Step 5 – Return to Secure Position

When the electric retraction command is removed, the mechanism returns according to its configured operation, allowing the latchbolt to engage when the door closes.

Step 6 – Mechanical Emergency Egress

The exit device remains mechanically operable from the egress side, allowing occupants to depress the pushpad and exit without relying on electrical power.

Request-to-Exit (EX) Monitoring Function

The integrated EX switch provides an electrical indication when the exit-device pushpad is depressed.

This can be used with a compatible access control or security system to:

• Monitor exit-device activation.

• Recognize authorized requests to exit.

• Temporarily shunt compatible door alarm inputs.

• Record egress activity through a connected system.

• Coordinate programmed access control functions.

EX Switch Contact Configuration

Important: The EX function is intended for low-current signaling. It is not equivalent to a high-current EXV switch and should not be used to directly interrupt an electromagnetic lock's power circuit unless the complete system is designed with appropriately rated external controls.
