Kidde - Edwards 1502-AQN5 Fire Magnetic Door Holder

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS 1502-AQN5 is a fire magnetic door holder designed to hold fire-rated doors open during normal building operation and release them automatically upon activation of a fire alarm signal. Operating on 24 volt AC/DC or 120 volt power, this unit provides flexible installation options across a range of fire alarm and building control systems. It is typically installed by licensed fire alarm technicians or electricians as part of a code-compliant door control system in commercial or institutional facilities.

This door holder is suited for use in commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, and other occupancies where fire code requires automatic door release. It mounts to walls or floors adjacent to fire-rated corridor doors, holding them in the open position until the fire alarm system de-energizes the unit and allows the door to close under its own hardware. Compatible systems include those operating on standard 24 volt fire alarm control panel outputs or 120 volt line voltage circuits.

Key Features

• Dual voltage operation: 24 volt AC/DC and 120 volt for flexible system integration
• Electromagnetic hold-open design releases door automatically on alarm signal
• Designed for fire-rated door assemblies in code-required door holder applications
• Single unit quantity per package for straightforward procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation magnetic door holder for fire alarm systems operating on 24 volt AC/DC or 120 volt circuits in commercial and institutional fire-rated door assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local fire codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the circuit before wiring the unit. Verify the supply voltage matches the door holder rating before energizing. Confirm proper door closure and release function with the fire alarm control panel after installation.
