Motorized Latch Retraction x Hard Wired Actuators x Input Device
OPERATION: Door is locked and secure. Authorized entrance by presenting valid credentials at exterior input device which trigger the low energy
operator to retract the latch bolt of the 9000 MLR exit device, and enables the exterior WS-1 wall actuator. Pedestrian then has option of
automatic entrance by depressing the exterior WS-1 which triggers the low energy operator to open the door or manual entrance by exterior trim.
Authorized entrance also possible by key unlocking exterior trim to retract latch bolt of 9000 MLR exit device by-passing motorized latch retraction.
Egress by depressing interior WS-1 signals operator to retract latch bolt of 9000 MLR exit device. After delay time (set in field) the low energy operator
opens the door. Manual egress is always possible by depressing the touch bar of the 9000 MLR exit device.
LOSS OF POWER: ED low energy operator and 9000 MLR exit device are de-energized. Latch bolt of 9000 MLR exit device is released and ED low
energy operator allows door to close providing positive latching. Immediate egress is possible by depressing the touch bar of the 9000 MLR exit device.
NOTES: 1) All wiring and interface between EAC components and ED low energy operator to be determined and supplied by others.
2) All settings for ED low energy operator to be determined and set in field by others.

Field Troubleshooting Guide
. Field troubleshooting guide
dormakaba makes every effort to ensure all MLR units are adjusted properly and tested prior to shipping
with units attached to the respective chassis assembly they will be used with, along with the proper
power supply. This is a guide to assist in field trouble shooting should the need arise.
Remove input power prior to attempting to make any corrections or changes listed on the following pages.
1. When energized the touch bar attempts to pull in and retract latches but pops back out or jumps.
a. Check rod adjustments if being used with a surface vertical rod or concealed vertical rod
device. If rods are too long the above will happen. Re-adjust rods and re-energize device
and check again. The touch bar should travel almost completely down and almost flush
with the rear filler and hold as long as energized.
Note: Pan head
screws (3) MUST
be used to mount
latches to door.
Round head screws
can cause the rods
to bind and not
move properly up
and down.
Top latch fully extended
and deadlatched.
2. When energized the touch bar pulls completely in, however latches are not retracted far enough to exit door.
a. Check rod adjustments if being used with a surface vertical rod or concealed vertical rod
device. If rods are too short the above will happen, rotate rod clockwise to lengthen.
Readjust rods and re-energize device and check again.
3. When energized the touch bar does nothing.
a. Verify all wire connections and that the power supply has power from main power source.
b. Verify proper power supply DORMA PS610RF/PS532RF is being used as well as 24VDC output.
c. Verify proper card is being presented to card reader (if being used).
d. Verify wire size and run distances are to required specifications. (See page 1 of instruction sheet)
4. When de-energized the touch bar stays down or rods do not drop and latches do not extend.
a. Check to ensure the touch bar is not bound in the filler or chassis cover area. Check to ensure rods
are not bound by mounting screws or cover screws. Ensure device has been de-energized. Ensure
top strike is aligned properly with latch to engage tripping lever and release latch bolt.
Top latch fully extended
and deadlatched. Rod
shown is too long. Adjust
upward by rotating counter
clockwise until flush with
bell crank.
Top latch fully extended
and deadlatched. Rod
fully extended and flush
with bell crank.
Rod fully extended
and flush with bell
crank. Retaining plate
installed flat against bell
crank with leg extending
through rod and mating
hole in bell crank.
Note: Flat head
screws MUST be
used to mount
chassis to door.
“Specified fastener’s should be used at all times during
installation. Improper fastener’s may cause product to fail
or void UL listings or warranty.”

Field Troubleshooting Guide
. Field troubleshooting guide (continued)
Check to ensure door is prepared correctly
to allow clearance for spindle and acutator
of trim to move freely.
Touch bar and rail assembly should be installed to chassis using supplied screw located in chassis. Hole in chassis
should align with slotted hole in rail as show approximately centered. Rail does not set against rear of chassis.
The slotted hole should not be modified; This causes the nose of the touch bar to make contact with the bracket
located on the chassis which in turn can cause it to bind, as well as mess up the timing of the moving parts. It
may also cause malfunction of the outside trim assembly by putting it in a bind. Tighten screws until they make
contact with rail surface do not over tighten.
Touch bar and rail along with chassis should sit flush on the door; any warping or unlevelness may cause
bind issue with the motor assembly.
Read and follow all installation steps noted with in the standard installation manaul supplied with the device.
“The device must be installed properly and working properly mechanically prior to being energized electrically.”
The pages have been compiled from actual installation issues in the field. Their intent is to assist other installers.

Field Troubleshooting Guide
. Field troubleshooting guide (continued)
There are two seperate factory settings for the MLR units; the 9300 & 9700 require a different stroke setting
than the 9400, 9800, 9100, 9600 or 9500. These are “preset at the factory”. The adjustment can be made in
the field as a last resort if for some reason it should be required. Follow the steps below, reverse steps to put
touch bar and rail back together after adjustments are made.
1. T ake the exit device off the door then remove the (6) screws attaching the Touch bar to the rail.
These (6) are in 2 triangular Patterns
2. R emove the touch- bar from the rail assembly
3. R emove the rear arm assembly from the touch-bar by removing 2 screws on each side of the
touch-bar.
4. P ull the rear arm assemble out of the touch-bar
5. O n the end of the black motor there is part of the worm gear sticking out of the motor. There is
an adjusting screw e xtends out of the worm gear.
6. U sing a Phillips screw driver turn the adjusting screw ¼ to 2 full revolutions counter clockwise.
Standard factory setting
for 9100,9600,9400,9800
or 9500 apx. 1/8” from front
edge of worm lead screw to
rear of adjusting screw.
Standard factory setting
for 9300 & 9700 is apx.
3/16” from front edge of
worm lead screw to rear
of adjusting screw.
