Sargent 12-56-8873-J-ETJ-12V Electrified Fire Rated Rim Exit Device, Electric Latch Retraction, Fail Safe Power Off Unlocks Lever, No Cylinder, For 37-42 Inch Width Door, Less Dogging

The Sargent 12-56-8873-J-ETJ-12V is an electrified fire rated rim exit device engineered for high-traffic commercial openings that require both life safety and remote access control. Built with electric latch retraction (ELR), it allows the latch to be withdrawn electronically for momentary or sustained free access, while the fail safe design unlocks the J-style lever on power loss to support secure egress during emergencies. Designed for doors measuring 37 to 42 inches wide, this device ships less cylinder and less dogging to meet fire-rated code requirements. Operating on 12V, it pairs reliable Grade 1 performance with the durable ETJ lever trim for demanding institutional and commercial environments.

Features

• Electric latch retraction allows the latch bolt to be retracted electronically for remote or scheduled access.
• Fail safe operation unlocks the lever when power is removed, ensuring access during a power failure.
• Sized for doors 37 to 42 inches in width.
• Supplied without a cylinder for keying flexibility during installation.
• Operates on 12V DC power.
• ETJ lever trim with J design for comfortable, ADA-compliant operation.

Functional Details

Electric latch retraction uses an internal motor to pull the latch bolt in, allowing push/pull operation without actuating the touchbar. The fail safe trim releases the lever when power is interrupted, so the opening can be used without a key during emergencies or outages.

• Electric latch retraction (ELR) for remote latch control.
• Fail safe (12) trim unlocks on power off.
• Fire rated, less dogging construction.

Arm Type Details

The ETJ trim provides an escutcheon-mounted J-style lever that controls latch access from the exterior side of the opening. The lever remains locked under power and releases to the free position when power is removed, consistent with the fail safe configuration.

Included Components
