Special Function Installation
MA12 – Single Dummy Installation

MA161 – Exit or Communicating Lock
Electrically Locking
MA851 Electrically Locked (Fail Safe):Outside trim is continuously locked electrically. The latchbolt is retracted by a key outside or by the knob/lever inside. Switch or power failure allows the outside knob/lever to retract the latchbolt.
The auxiliary latch deadlocks the latchbolt when the door is closed. The inside knob/lever is always free for immediate exit.
MA881 Electrically Unlocked (Fail Secure):Outside trim is unlocked electrically. During switch or power failure, the latchbolt is retracted by a key outside or by knob/lever inside. The auxiliary latch deadlocks the latchbolt when the door is closed.The inside knob/lever is always free for immediate exit.
Typical Installation:All installations should be in accordance with local electrical codes and National Electrical Code NFPA #70. It is recommended that each lock have its own 12 or 24 volt transformer. Be sure to select the proper transformer for the lock. Two or more locks may be operated in parallel from a single transformer provided it has the necessary current rating. DO NOT connect locks in series from a higher voltage rated transformer.
Damage to locks may occur if they connect to a supply circuit that also contains electromagnetic devices. The transient voltage must be suppressed at the equipment producing them before connecting the locks to a circuit. A varistor rate at 35 volts (at peak current) may be used for transient voltage protection. IMPORTANT: Cable must be routed and tucked to fit. Ensure that there are no wires exposed or pinched during positioning.
Request to Exit (RX) Only
