Functional Details

In a fail secure configuration, the outside trim remains locked when power is interrupted, ensuring the opening stays secured during a power failure. Applying 24V power unlocks the lever, allowing entry, while a key always retracts the latch for mechanical access regardless of power status.

• Fail Secure: Outside lever is locked when no power is applied.
• Energizing the trim unlocks the outside lever for access.
• Key override retracts the latch at all times.
