RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to ensure that the panic bar could provide a high level of safety toward
people and appropriate safety level toward goods, it should only be mounted
onto doors and doorframes that are in good conditions. The door itself,
therefore, should be checked to ensure that it was installed properly and that
nothing obstructs its normal movement.
If rebate sealing are mounted on the door, make sure they do not inhibit proper
functioning of the panic bar.
In case of two-leaved door where both leaves are equipped with panic
bar, it is mandatory to check that each leaf opens when its respective
panic bar is activated, and that leaves open freely when the bars are
activated simultaneously.
The fastening instructions in the present document should be followed
scrupulously during installation. Once installation is complete, the installer
should give this document to the owner of the activity.
The horizontal bar should be installed in a way that maximizes its useable
length.
For securing the door in the closed position, do not employ any other latching
devices than those specied in the present document. This does not preclude
the installation of automatic closing devices.
Different external access devices than those found on the list of certied
components on pages 4/4 are considered unacceptable.
The EXUS panic bar is also designed for installation on hollow metal doors with
an internal cell structure.
If a door closer is needed to return the door to the closed position, care should
be taken not to make the opening step more difcult for children, the elderly
and the disabled.
A pictogram (arrow) should be positioned immediately above the horizontal bar
on the internal side of the door.
All of the included components described herein must be positioned
and mounted in conformity with the present document.

IMPORTANT
- Installation should be carried out by qualied personnel only and in strict
conformity with the instructions supplied.
- For a correct installation all supplied components must be used, including
spacers and toothed washers.
- No variations are allowed, and only components indicated in the
package contents may be used.
- Given its purpose, the Exus LA BMC panic bar should be mounted on the
push-side of the door.
- Before proceeding with installation, check the package contents to ensure
that no pieces are missing.
- Check the type of lever handle to apply and follow the specic instructions.
- Any different installation conguration from that illustrated on page 2/4 is not
allowed.
INSTALLATION
- First disassemble any handles or bar components that are already present.
- Unscrew the two frontal screws (28), and take away the existing lock (26).
Install the new panic safe lock (26) and fasten it with the same two frontal
screws (28).
- Adjust the plastic spacers (19 and 20) to the thickness of the leaf so that they
do not protrude from it.
- Adjust the threaded square spindle (13) to the thickness of the leaf so that it
protrudes 11±1mm from the door surface; be careful to cut the bevelled side.
- Insert the square spindles (13 and 14) into the lock (26) for connecting them
by tightening the respective screw (15).
- Screw onto installation plate of stainless steel handle (11) the screws (24),
just enough to insert the cover plate (12).
- Insert the two threaded inserts (16) in the installation plate of handle (11),
making sure that they are well-centred.
- Insert the two spacers (19 and 20) over the threaded inserts (16) and apply
the handle on the pull-side of the door, being careful to center the square
spindle and the inserts over their respective holes.
- Apply the operating mechanism (1) to the lock side (push-side of the door)
after inserting the screws (17), toothed washers (18) and spacer (20). Center
the square spindle and screws, starting the screws by hand before fastening
them with the screwdriver.
- Use the template to drill the holes (29) with the Ø3mm drill bit, checking
the level. If holes are already present, drill them again for the internal
reinforcement.
- Fasten the mechanism (1) even more securely with the self-tapping screws
Ø4,8x16mm (22) and their toothed washers (18).
- Fasten the mechanism (2) of the panic bar at hinged side, using the self-
tapping screws Ø4,8x16mm (22) and their toothed washers (18).
- Remove the externally-facing plugs (5) from both carter (3 and 4). To do
this, insert a nger inside the carter and push the plug out, being careful
not to remove the plastic insert. Apply the carter with “EXIT” wording (3) on
the operating mechanism (1) and the other one (4) on the mechanism from
hinged side (2). Do not fasten the socked set screws, so as to let the two
carter movable.
- Apply the carrier arms (6) and fasten them with the dedicated screws (7),
tightening them securely using a Phillips-head screwdriver.
- Make a precise “L” measurement, cut the aluminium bar (10) adding 20mm,
and remove the burrs from the cut edge. Remove one carrier arm, attach the
bar and re-fasten the entire assembly.
- Finish fastening of the two carter (3 and 4), screw on without overtighten the
socked set screw, using the S2 hex key (25), then apply the plugs (5).
- Insert the two caps (21) in the open holes of the panic safe lock (26).
- Push the Exus LA BMC panic bar at any point along the horizontal bar,
checking to ensure that the latch bolt of the lock opens easily and fully.
Use the same method to check the external handle. Test the door in
both open and closed positions and if necessary, le down the plastic
strike box (27) of one-leaved doors or the panic safe lock for inactive
leaf of two-leaved doors.
- Fasten the installation plate of stainless steel handle (11) using the
Ø4,2x13mm self-tapping screws (23) and their toothed washers (18) after
drilling holes in the metal panel with the Ø2mm drill bit. Insert the cover (12)
onto the handle (drw. 2). Using the S2 hex key (25) to unscrew the screws
(24) until the cover become xed, avoiding any deformations (drw. 3). Insert
and fasten the socket set screw well with the S3 hex key (8).
- Apply the pictogram (9) with the green arrow on the internal surface of the
door, just above the horizontal bar.
- Lastly, use a dynamometer to measure the force required on the
horizontal bar to release the lock. Record this force measurement in
the present document.
USE
- Ensure that the door always opens easily.
- Avoid unnecessary strains on or handling onto handle and exit bar.
- Protect the panic bar from external atmospheric agents.
- Ensure that nothing hinders the free movement of the horizontal bar.
- Do not paint the lock.
- Use the bar properly, do not pull it in the wrong direction.
- Make sure that any damaged or malfunctioning parts are replaced
immediately.
MAINTENANCE
To ensure that door usage conforms with regulations, the following maintenance
checks should be carried out at least once a month:
- Conrm that all of the installed components correspond with those listed in the
present instructions and that no other latching devices than those originally
installed have been added to the door.
- Inspect and activate the panic bar to verify that all of its components are in
satisfactory operational condition.
- Use a dynamometer to conrm that the release force shows no signicant
differences from the forces recorded at the time of installation.
- Check whether all screws are fully tightened, tightening any that may
have loosened.
- Check whether panic bar and handle can be moved with minimal effort,
and that the latch bolt of the safe lock retreats from the strike box without
offering resistance. If the door has become difcult to open due to friction,
the resistance can be reduced by ling the strike box down to the appropriate
height.
- Activate the Exus LA BMC panic bar at both ends of the horizontal bar,
checking to ensure full retraction of the latch bolt in both cases.
- Ensure that the latch bolt exits completely when the horizontal bar is released.
- Check the horizontal bar and replace it if any damage or deformities are
detected.
- Check whether the inserts and strike boxes are blocked in any way
and eliminate any obstructions.
- This product requires no special maintenance. Grease spray should be used
to lubricate the internal workings of lock, handle and panic bar on a regular
basis – the latter has a hole on its carter for this purpose, located below the
carrier arms.
- For normal cleaning use a cleaning agent designed specically for chrome-
polished surfaces for the horizontal bar and another one designed specically
for stainless steel for the handle.
- Any adjustments that become necessary must be carried out by
qualied personnel using original NINZ replacement parts.
- The owner of the activity is responsible for keeping the declaration of
correct installation on le, conducting proper panic bar maintenance
in accordance with all of the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines,
keeping maintenance and check-up records and preserving the
present document.

PROPER DISASSEMBLY
When some parts or all of the panic bar needs to be replaced, the general
guideline is to reverse the order of the original installation instructions.
To replace the lock, all parts of the panic bar in the locking device zone must
be disassembled, including the external handle. The lock itself (26) can be
removed by unscrewing the two frontal screws.
This operation should be carried out with great care in order not to
damage or move the components located inside lock housing!
FOR REPLACEMENTS USE ORIGINAL NINZ REPLACEMENT
PARTS FROM ITS FULL CERTIFIED SYSTEM ONLY!
These instructions should be given to the owner of the activity, who must preserve them as a record of the maintenance operations carried out on the panic
bar.
