GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LiftMaster®LM21XPBB and LM21XPBBVB 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 fusible link system.
The release device can be powered from 120Vac, 24 Vac, or
24Vdc. The 24Vdc cannot be sourced from a fire alarm control
panel or UL1481 regulated power supply. 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.
The release device is provided with a battery management system
that can provide 24Vdc power for up to four smoke detectors and
two horn strobes, as well as provide battery backup for the
release device and accessories. As with all releasing device
systems, maximum fire protection is provided when installed in
accordance with factory specifications and used with a fusible link
systems.
