Sargent 70-776-8-ETME-12V Electrified Exit Device Trim, 12V Fail Secure, Key Retracts Latch, ET Control, ME Lever, SFIC Prep, Less Core, For 80 Series Exit Devices, Grade 1

The Sargent 70-776-8-ETME-12V is a Grade 1 electrified exit device trim built for access-controlled openings that rely on Sargent 80 Series exit devices. Operating on 12V DC in a fail secure configuration, the trim keeps the outside lever locked until power is applied, maintaining security during a power loss. The ME lever on ET control housing delivers a clean, durable feel, while the key-retracts-latch feature lets authorized users override the device mechanically. Prepped for a small format interchangeable core (SFIC) and shipped less core, this trim gives installers flexibility to match existing keying systems on commercial and institutional doors.

Functional Details

In fail secure operation, the outside lever remains locked when de-energized and is released only when 12V DC power is applied, so the opening stays secured during a power interruption. The key cylinder provides a mechanical means to retract the latch for authorized entry independent of the electrified function.

• Fail Secure: Outside lever locked when power is removed.
• Key retracts latch for mechanical override.
• 12 VDC input.

Arm Type Details

The ET control is paired with the ME lever, a contemporary lever style mounted to the electrified trim housing. The lever controls the outside operation of the exit device, retracting the latch when the trim is energized or when a key is used.

Included Components

The trim ships as an electrified ET control with ME lever, prepped for a small format interchangeable core. The core is not included and must be ordered separately to match the facility's keying system.
