Sargent 70-775-8-ETME-12V Electrified Exit Device Trim, 12V Fail Safe, Key Retracts Latch, ET Control, ME Lever, SFIC, Less Core, For 80 Series Exit Devices, Grade 1

The Sargent 70-775-8-ETME-12V is a Grade 1 electrified exit device trim engineered to pair with Sargent 80 Series exit devices for secure, access-controlled openings. Operating on 12V DC in a fail safe configuration, this trim allows the key to retract the latch while supporting electrified control through the ET housing and ME lever design. It accepts a small format interchangeable core (SFIC) and ships less core, giving installers the flexibility to field-key the hardware to an existing system. Built for high-traffic commercial and institutional environments, this trim delivers reliable performance where both life safety and controlled access are priorities.

Functional Details

In a fail safe configuration, the outside lever is unlocked when power is removed, allowing free passage during a power loss or emergency. When powered, the trim remains locked and relies on credentialed access control or a key to grant entry. The key-retracts-latch feature lets authorized users mechanically retract the latch independently of the electrified function.

• 12V DC fail safe operation.
• Key retracts latch for mechanical access.
• ET control with ME lever design.
• Less SFIC core — core ordered separately.
