The exit device combines the electronic card lock with a push bar from Sargent.
This makes it possible to use encoded cards to control all guest and staff access to
the building, and at the same time provide a panic exit device to satisfy all safety
considerations for emergency exit. Opening the door from the inside is achieved
by simply pushing the push bar.

The exit device is suitable for wood, metal and glazed doors. It is supplied in
two versions:
rim version with latch on the side of the door; for horizontal installation
rod version with latch on top and bottom of the door; for vertical installation

 3. System components

The outside escutcheon set includes an LCU (lock controller unit) and an
electromechanical lock mechanism. The LCU is powered by a 4.5V or 9V
battery (9V for older installations only) that is located inside the push bar
behind the battery cover plate; see Figure 8 for rim version and Figure 9
for rod version.

The exit device is released mechanically from the inside by pushing on the bar.
The door is unlocked from the outside by using a valid key card. The LCU will
accept cards programmed in the Visionline, VingCard Vision or 2100 system.

 3.3.1 Components in glass bead shim kit
On doors with raised molding or glass beads, a special glass bead shim kit 12-587
(see arrows in Figure 10) must be used between the devices and the door.
the kit consists of two sets of 3 mm shims
maximum thickness is 6 mm (1/4)''
available in PEN and PEB finishes

Figure 10: Glass bead shim kit

Note: Since the thickness of the adapter plate is 3 mm (1/8 ''), one shim set 3 mm
(1/8 '') must always be used for rod guides, top strike chassis and bottom strike
chassis. Shim for lock chassis should not be used.
