Installation and Wiring Instructions
With Optional 53- Latchbolt; 55- Request to Exit;
and TL- (SARGuide) Connection Instructions
SECTION I: OVERVIEW
1. Description
The Sargent 56- prefix ELR works with 80 Series exit devices to provide remote-controlled latch retraction. It is
compatible with the following prefixes:
• 53 - Latchbolt Monitor Switch: The latch monitor provides tamper resistant latch monitoring.
The monitor switch is activated when there is physical movement of the latch.
• 55 - Signal Switch (Request to Exit): This signal switch monitors the touch
bar position. Touch bar monitoring can be used to detect egress,
sound an alarm, send a signal to a remote location,
or de-energize an electromagnetic lock.
• TL- (SARGuide): Illuminated touchpad for
80 Series exit devices.
Note: The 56- is also compatible
with 16-, HK-, and 12-
mechanical configurations.

Sargent Manufacturing Company (New Haven, CT).
2011. Electronic push retraction exit device. U. S.
Patent 7,484,777, filed June 30, 2006, and issued
Feb. 3, 2009. Additional patent(s) pending.
2. Functions
The 56- ELR can be configured to work in either of two modes:
POWER MODE (see Section II: POWER MODE)
The device is not energized when locked. When electrified, the push rail and latch(es) will retract and remain in
the retracted position until power is removed. Power is typically applied through a relay triggered by an access
control device.
TIMER MODE (see Section III: TIMER MODE)
The device is always energized and retraction is triggered by a momentary or maintain switch. In TIMER MODE:
• When the timer circuit is closed using a momentary switch, the device retracts, remains retracted for a set
duration, and releases. The duration of the retraction is set through an onboard timer setting.
• When the timer circuit is closed using a maintain switch, the device retracts. The device releases when the
contact is opened.
3. Important
• Caution: Disconnect all input power before servicing.
• Installer must be a trained and experienced service person.
• Wiring must comply with applicable local electrical codes, ordinances and regulations.
• Cylinder (16-) or “hex-key” (HK-) mechanical dogging CANNOT be used on FIRE RATED DOORS.
4. Installation Notes
• The 56- ELR rail works only with Sargent 80 Series exit devices.
• Always perform mechanical installation using the appropriate installation instructions, prior to electrical wiring.
• If used in conjunction with M56 or R56 kits, follow instructions A7926 prior to using these instructions.
• Earth Ground: Required for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, unless already grounded through the
metal door and frame.

6. POWER MODE Troubleshooting
Prior to electrical troubleshooting, confirm that the mechanical system properly functions; i.e., that the push bar fully retracts
all latches and the door opens freely. Refer to applicable Sargent 80 Series Exit Device product instruction sheet to correct
mechanical installation issues.
IMPORTANT: *ALWAYS disconnect power before making any mechanical adjustments to the system.
The push rail does not move when 24V input is applied:
o Check inputs to confirm proper voltage and wiring orientation (Fig. 6 ElectroLynx POWER MODE Installation).
o Remove end cap from rail and confirm that LED is blinking steadily when power is applied. If not, refer to LED signaling.
Note: When configured in POWER MODE, power is released to lock the device (LED will not blink when power is released).
o Confirm DIP switch position 3 is set to ON.
The push rail does not fully retract or push rail retracts completely and holds but does not open door
o *Verify mechanical installation and correct as necessary:
- Is excessive force required to depress the push bar?
- Are latches fully clearing the strikes when mechanically cycled?
The push rail retracts and unlocks electrically but does not relock:
o Physically disconnect power from rail and confirm that input is off.
o *Check for mechanical interference (e.g., warped door, lack of shims, misalignment of rail, etc.).
o *Was a motor kit (M56) installed? Verify the rail assembly.
o Remove end cap from rail and confirm that LED is blinking steadily when power is applied. If not, refer to LED signaling.
Note: When configured in POWER MODE, power is released to lock the device (LED will not blink when power is released).
For applications using automatic operator(s): Door(s) fail to unlock before doors begin to open:
o Adjust timing of operator to allow 750ms for the rail to fully retract.
53- switch wiring: The design requires normally open functionality and the circuit is normally closed (or vice versa),
There is only a two-wire input for the 53- circuit. Normally open or normally closed configuration is set by toggling the DIP switches on the controller
bracket to the required position (refer to chart in section 4).

4. TIMER MODE Adjustment (Onboard Timer)
How it works: The 24 volt input is always energized and the system retracts when the timer input circuit is closed.
• When the timer circuit is closed utilizing a momentary switch, the device retracts, remains retracted for a set duration,
and releases. The duration of the retraction is set using an onboard timer setting (0 - 20 second timer adjustment).
The countdown begins when the rail is first retracted.
• When the timer circuit is closed using a maintain switch, the device retracts.
The device releases when the circuit is re-opened.
Notes:
• Note: 24V supply is constant in TIMER MODE. The duration of retraction is determined by whichever is longer:
the maintain switch closure or the onboard timer delay.
• If more than 20 seconds delay is necessary (exceeding the maximum setting), an external timer delay relay
is required (not provided).
NOTE: Refer to settings in Section III, part 5 (Fig. 19-21) for DIP Switch timer delay settings.
For 56- applications using the optional 53- latchbolt monitor switch (53-56-), pin 5 of the 8-pin ElectroLynx connector
will be either an NO contact or NC contact depending on the position of the DIP switches on the motor controller faceplate.
