The PM300 is a power booster interface module that ts inside of an electric latch pullback exit device.
When installed in the exit device, it typically allows for a much longer wire run from the power supply to the
exit device (typically up to 700’ with 18/2 wire) .

Adams Rite wire connections instructions:
Remove pushbar and separate push pad from device to gain access to the solenoid/circuit board assembly.
How to hook it up for other Manufactures Devices:
The unit comes with an easy plug-in 3 prong wire harness that to retrots to the existing solenoid. There is a second easy plug-in
2 prong wire harness that connects to the power from the power supply. The harness should be connected to the positive and
negative leads from the power supply. Generic examples and specic retrots are shown below.

• Wires: Input to PM300 non-polarized Black (+)(-) • Operating Voltage Range: 22-30 VDC
Power Supply Options for PM300 and PM300D in Standard Mode:
The PM300 works best with the Command Access PS210, PS220/220B, PS440B, PS480B, PS1, PS2, & PS5 series
regulated power supplies. The PM300 also works with most Regulated power supplies rated at 24VDC and
1.5A or higher. Although we do not recommend using power supplies that we have not thoroughly tested
with the PM300. Please check our compatibility chart in link below for a list of other manufactures power
supplies.
Models:
Power Supply Options for PM300 and PM300D in High Output Mode:
In High Output mode, the PM300 is designed for & MUST BE powered by the Command Access PS210,
PS220/220B, PS440B, PS1, and PS5-4 power supplies only.
Standard model designed to work with 24 VDC regulated power supplies. 12” retrot wiring
harness for other manufactures, such as, Adams Rite, Corbin/Yale, Precision, and more.
-PM300
PM300D - Same as PM300 above with the added feature of a .5 second delay.
Wire Run Guidelines:
For best results we recommend that your maximum wire run not exceed the following:
18ga.= 700’ 16ga. = 1000’ 14ga. = 1250’ 12ga. = 1500’.
Specications:
PM300 Compatibility Chart
• Fuse: Glass 3.5 - 5A, Resettable 1A trip
• Relay: 5A or greater
• Fuse: Resettable 2A trip
• Relay: 10A or greater
Standard Mode High Output Mode
• Output from PM300: Yellow=Pull Coil; Orange= Hold Coil; Green=Common
