Functional Details

The 56 electric latch retraction function uses an internal motor to withdraw the latch, enabling remote access, momentary unlocking, or latch hold-back for connection with automatic operators and access control hardware. In the fail secure configuration, loss of power returns the device to a locked state, requiring valid credentials or key access from the outside.

• Electric latch retraction (EL) for remote operation
• Fail secure: outside trim locked when power is off
• Hex key dogging for mechanical latch hold-back
• 12V DC operation

Arm Type Details

This device uses the ETB escutcheon lever trim, which provides a return-to-center lever operation on the exterior. When energized, the lever allows controlled entry; in the fail secure state, the lever is rigid and access requires key or credential authorization.
