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.
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.
