When power is removed, the latch returns to its secured position, maintaining the mechanical exit function for safe egress at all times.

• Electrically retracts the latch for remote unlocking and access control.
• Free egress is maintained at all times via the push bar.
• Compatible with automatic door operators and low-energy actuators.
• Fail-secure operation returns the latch to the locked position on power loss.
