GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LiftMaster®LM21XP Release Device is UL/ULC listed
normally energized fail-safe device designed for use on rolling
doors, single-slide and center-parting level and inclined track
doors. All models are normally energized fail-safe releasing
devices incorporating state-of-the-art electronic control circuitry.
The release devices respond to emergency conditions generated
from an automatic initiating device and are used in conjunction
with a temperature fuse link system.
This device is designated to be used with manual doors, but can
be used on motorized doors incorporating a fusible link assembly
and drop-out mechanism.
The release device must be powered from 24Vdc received from
an approved UL 1481 regulated power supply with battery
backup. The devices can be activated via a smoke detector or an
alarm relay from the panel’s Form C dry contact relay. The release
device features include a 10-, 20-, 30- or 60-second delay on
alarm, closed door detection capabilities, Form C relay outputs for
the transmission of alarm and trouble signals transmitted to the
fire alarm control panel, an audible trouble sounder, and
diagnostic feedback LEDs.
