UL File No. S24769 • California State Fire Marshal Listed
The Lawrence Model AR-D is a failsafe time delayed fire door release device with a constantly energized
solenoid that will cause a fire door to close after a preset time delay upon either a loss of power or an initiation
signal from a fire alarm control panel or local detectors.
Standard Features
• Listed by UL and California State Fire Marshal (CSFM)
• UL864 compliant device without the need for an uninterruptible
power supply
• For use on new or existing manual or motor operated roll-up or
sliding fire doors
• Powered by either building current, fire alarm control panel or
UL1481 power supply
• Initiated by either local detectors or fire alarm control panel
• Time delayed release (approx. 10 seconds) upon initiation or
power loss
• External test button and LED indicators for input power, latching
and arming status, and door in closed position (optional feature)
• Simplified installation with “Set-Tie” system to secure release
