Adams Rite 8802ELM36-24 Electrified Exit Bar Monitor Switch

Product Description

The ADAMS RITE 8802ELM36-24 is an electrified exit device bar with an integrated monitor switch, designed for use in commercial door hardware applications. It combines a standard push-bar exit function with an electrical monitoring circuit that signals the access control or alarm system when the device is actuated or the door is opened. The monitor switch provides real-time status feedback to building security panels. This type of device is specified and installed by licensed door hardware technicians and commercial locksmiths on egress doors in commercial and institutional buildings.

The 8802ELM36-24 is suited for commercial egress applications where both life-safety exit function and access control integration are required. Typical installations include office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other commercial occupancies where monitored exit points are required by security or building code. The 24-volt designation indicates the electrical specification for the monitoring or electrified latch retraction circuit, making it compatible with standard commercial access control power supplies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified door hardware technician or commercial locksmith familiar with access control wiring and egress hardware requirements. Disconnect power to the access control panel and any connected alarm circuits before wiring the monitor switch leads. Verify that the door prep, frame, and strike are compatible with the device prior to mounting. Local building codes and NFPA 101 life-safety requirements govern egress hardware installation on fire-rated and non-rated doors.
