7. TIMER 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.
When configured for TIMER MODE , 24V must be constantly applied and the timer circuit must be closed to cycle the device.
o Remove end cap from rail and confirm that LED is blinking steadily when power is applied. If not, refer to LED signaling.
The onboard timer duration adjustment is not working:
o Remove power when making adjustments to timer delay settings (DIP Switches).
o When a momentary signal is applied to the timer circuit, the circuit must be reopened for the timer to function.
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 electrically but does not release. System does not relock.
o Confirm that the TIMER MODE contact is opened (the rail will remain depressed until the contact is opened and the delay has expired).
o Physically disconnect power from rail (while electrically retracted) to verify if the issue is mechanical.
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.
Rail behaves abnormally (multiple cycles, clicking, delayed retraction, etc.):
o If a momentary contact is applied to the timer circuit, adjust the onboard timer to a longer duration.
o Remove end cap from rail and confirm that LED is blinking steadily when power is applied. If not, refer to LED signaling.
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.
o If a momentary contact is applied to the timer circuit, adjust the onboard timer to a longer duration to prevent the device from locking prior
to operator actuation.
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 III, part 5).
For additional installation assistance, please contact 1-800-810-WIRE (9473). When calling, please provide the following information to improve our
service (provide what you can):
o Your name and contact number.
