THEORY OF OPERATION
The Adams Rite Power Supply provides power and control for
up to two exit devices. Each exit device is controlled by a timer that
is initiated by a switch closure. The timer is user configured and
holds the exit device(s) in the unlatched position for 2-60 seconds.
At the end of the selected time the exit device(s) will relatch. If the
switch controlling the exit device is held closed longer than the
selected time, the exit device remains unlatched until the controlling
switch is released.
An optional mode is available allowing both retraction timers to
activate in response to closure of either switch.
The Adams Rite Power Supply is listed as an Exit Device,
Access Control System unit to UL305 and UL1012 requirements for
power supplies and CAN / CSA - C22.2.
Exit devices under the system control remain latched during a
complete power failure but always allow free mechanical egress.
