SARGENT FM8700 Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device - Manual (Page 5)

2 General Description
The SARGENT 59- Electroguard™ exit device is designed for areas which require a delayed egress with a door
alarm when any attempt is made to violate the door. The Electroguard™ can be tied into a fire alarm system,
indicate latchbolt status and control an alarm at a remote location when the door is in violation.
NOTE: Proper connections and appropriate peripheral hardware are required.
All components must be installed according to prevailing electrical codes.
BC-Prefix Option
The BC prefix for Electroguard™ indicates that the unit has been programmed to comply with the section of the
BOCA code relating to delayed egress.
BOCA allows for automatic reset of the delayed egress unit. Under BOCA, the unit can automatically reset thirty (30)
seconds after the door has been cycled. If the door is opened any time during the thirty (30) seconds, the timer in the
unit resets and waits another thirty (30) seconds before rearming. This requires a door position switch.
Note: If a door position switch is not used (Blue wire connected to Black wire), the unit will automatically reset in
30 seconds.
There are no user serviceable parts on the Electroguard™ PCB module assembly.
