Overview

The dormakaba 9000 Series MLR (Motorized Latch Retraction) device is an advanced exit device designed to provide simultaneous electric latch retraction and dogging (depressed touch bar) for enhanced security and accessibility. This device is suitable for various door configurations and can be integrated into different access control systems.

Function Description:

The core function of the 9000 Series MLR is to allow for the electric retraction of the latch bolt, which can be triggered by an input device such as a card reader, keypad, or push button. This motorized retraction facilitates authorized entry and egress, making it ideal for high-traffic areas or applications requiring automated access. When the device is energized, the touch bar pulls in, retracting the latches, and holds them in this position as long as power is supplied. This feature enables hands-free operation and improves the flow of traffic through the door.

In a typical setup, the door is initially locked and secure. Authorized entrance is granted by presenting valid credentials at an exterior input device. This action triggers a low energy operator (if present) or the power supply to energize the MLR device, retracting the latch bolt. Depending on the configuration, this can also enable exterior wall actuators for automatic door opening or allow manual entrance via exterior trim. Egress is typically achieved by depressing an interior wall actuator or the touch bar of the exit device, which signals the operator to retract the latch bolt and open the door. Manual egress is always possible by depressing the touch bar, ensuring safety even in the event of power failure.

The device also supports "dogging," which means the touch bar can be depressed and held in the retracted position, allowing the door to remain unlocked and open without the need for continuous power or manual holding of the bar. This is particularly useful during peak hours or for temporary unrestricted access.

In the event of a loss of power, the MLR exit device is de-energized, causing the latch bolt to release and allowing for positive latching when the door closes. Immediate egress remains possible by depressing the touch bar, ensuring life safety compliance.

Usage Features:

The 9000 Series MLR is designed for flexibility in installation and integration. It can be used in single door configurations with various components, including low energy operators, hard-wired actuators, and different power supply units. The device is compatible with dormakaba's ED Low Energy Operators and can be powered directly by them, simplifying wiring in some installations.

For access control, the MLR device integrates seamlessly with input devices such as card readers, keypads, and push buttons. The system can be configured to allow for different unlock times and manual override options. For instance, a key in the rim cylinder of an exterior pull trim can retract the latch bolt, bypassing the motorized retraction for manual authorized entry.

The device offers different sizes (A, B, C) to accommodate various door opening widths, with options for cutting to fit minimum door openings. This adaptability ensures that the MLR can be installed on a wide range of doors. Additional options like MS (Magnetic Switch), CD (Cylinder Dogging), LM (Latch Monitor), and BPA (Bolt Position Indicator) are available, further enhancing its functionality and integration capabilities.

Maintenance Features:

The manual provides a comprehensive field troubleshooting guide to assist installers and maintenance personnel in diagnosing and resolving common issues. This guide emphasizes the importance of proper installation and adjustment to ensure optimal performance.

Key maintenance considerations include:

  • Rod Adjustments: If the touch bar attempts to retract but pops back out or if latches are not fully retracted, rod adjustments are crucial. Rods that are too long or too short can impede proper operation. The guide provides instructions on how to re-adjust rods for surface vertical rod or concealed vertical rod devices, ensuring the touch bar travels completely down and flushes with the rear filler.
  • Mounting Screws: The guide highlights the importance of using specific types of screws for mounting. Flat head screws are required for mounting the chassis to the door, while pan head screws are necessary for mounting latches. Using incorrect fasteners can lead to binding, improper movement, or even product failure, potentially voiding UL listings or warranty.
  • Door Preparation: Proper door preparation is essential to ensure adequate clearance for the spindle and actuator of the trim, allowing them to move freely without binding.
  • Touch Bar and Rail Assembly: The touch bar and rail assembly must be installed correctly, aligning the slotted hole in the rail with the screw in the chassis. It is critical that the rail does not set against the rear of the chassis, as this can cause binding and malfunction. The touch bar and rail, along with the chassis, should sit flush on the door to prevent warping or unlevelness that could lead to motor assembly issues.
  • Power Supply and Wiring: Troubleshooting steps include verifying all wire connections, ensuring the correct power supply (e.g., DORMA PS610RF/PS532RF) is used with the specified 24VDC output, and checking that wire sizes and run distances meet required specifications.
  • De-energized State: If the touch bar stays down or rods do not drop when de-energized, checks should be made to ensure the touch bar is not bound in the filler or chassis cover area, and that rods are not bound by mounting or cover screws. The top strike alignment with the latch and tripping lever should also be verified.
  • Factory Settings Adjustment: For advanced troubleshooting, the manual details how to adjust the stroke setting of the MLR units (9300 & 9700 versus 9400, 9800, 9100, 9600 or 9500). This involves removing the exit device from the door, disassembling the touch bar and rear arm assembly, and turning an adjusting screw on the motor. This adjustment is considered a last resort and should be performed carefully, following the reverse steps to reassemble the device.

All corrections and changes should be performed with the input power removed to ensure safety. The troubleshooting guide is compiled from actual field installation issues, providing practical assistance to installers.
