The Sargent 12-8873-G-ETJ-12V is an electrified fire rated rim exit device built for demanding commercial openings up to 48 inches wide. Designed as a fail safe unit, it uses 12V DC power to control the outside lever trim, keeping access locked during normal operation and automatically unlocking when power is removed. The 8800 Series platform delivers Grade 1 durability and reliable panic egress on fire rated doors, where mechanical dogging is not permitted. Paired with the ETJ lever trim, this device supports controlled access systems, electronic monitoring setups, and life safety applications that require secure yet dependable entry and exit.

Functional Details

As a fail safe (power off unlocks) device, energizing the solenoid keeps the outside lever locked, while removing power releases the lever to allow entry. This behavior ensures the opening defaults to an accessible state during a power loss, which is ideal for life safety and egress-controlled environments. Free egress from the inside is always available by pressing the pushpad.

• Fail Safe: Power OFF unlocks the lever.
• Fail Safe: Power ON locks the lever.
• Fire rated devices are supplied less dogging.

Arm Type Details

The ETJ lever trim is an electrified outside trim designed to control access through the exit device. The lever remains locked or unlocked based on power status, while the interior pushpad provides unrestricted egress at all times.

Included Components

This device includes the electrified rim exit device chassis, ETJ outside lever trim, and necessary mounting hardware for fire rated door installation.
