Need help?Do you have a question about the Yale 6116 Series and is the answer not in the manual?
This document outlines the installation and maintenance procedures for the Yale 6116 Series Exit Alarm Kit, designed to upgrade or replace alarm kits in 6000 Series Exit Devices, excluding Surface Vertical Rod models. The kit enhances the functionality of existing exit devices by adding an alarm feature, providing an audible alert when the exit device is actuated.
The primary function of the Exit Alarm Kit is to provide an audible alarm when the exit device's touchbar is pressed, indicating an unauthorized exit or an emergency egress. This feature is crucial for security and safety, deterring unauthorized use of emergency exits while ensuring a clear path for legitimate egress during emergencies. The alarm is activated by a cylinder switch, which can be toggled to arm or disarm the system, offering flexible control over its operation.
Usage features of the Exit Alarm Kit are designed for straightforward operation and integration with existing Yale 6000 Series Exit Devices. The kit includes an alarm assembly, a cylinder, a collar, an activator, and a nut, all of which are installed within the existing device's cover skirt. A 9-Volt battery, which is not included in the kit, powers the alarm assembly. The installation process involves removing the existing device assembly from the door, disassembling its cover, and then integrating the new alarm components. A key is used to arm and disarm the alarm, providing a secure method of control. When armed, pressing the touchbar triggers the alarm, and a light-emitting diode (LED) indicates that the sensor power is on. A short chirp confirms the alarm is activated, and the alarm sounds when the touchbar is released. The alarm can be turned off by moving the cylinder switch back to its top position. The kit also includes an "EMERGENCY EXIT - ALARM WILL SOUND" label to be adhered to the touchbar, clearly indicating the device's function to users.
Maintenance features are minimal but essential for ensuring the continuous and reliable operation of the Exit Alarm Kit. The primary maintenance task involves periodically replacing the 9-Volt battery. The device includes a low battery indicator, which manifests as a chirp every 30 seconds, signaling that the battery needs to be replaced. Troubleshooting steps are provided for situations where the alarm does not sound during testing. These steps guide the user to check the position of the switch lever, ensuring it makes proper contact with the alarm switch, and to verify that the battery is securely placed and making contact. Additionally, it's important to confirm that the alarm has been properly armed using the key. The installation instructions emphasize the importance of verifying all components upon receipt, reading the entire instructions before installation, and following all cautions, notes, and warnings. It also highlights that retrofitting or modifying the device may impact fire rating, safety features, and warranty, advising consultation with code specifications to ensure compliance. The kit is intended as a replacement or update for Touchbar Exit Devices, ensuring compatibility and ease of integration. The design allows for the cover skirt to be cut to a minimum length if necessary for retrofit applications, demonstrating adaptability to various existing setups.
