3. Measure and cut the length of the top rod. The length of the top rod is
measured from the edge of the connecting rod, to top of the threaded rod
on the latch assembly. Mark a cutting line on the rod and remove the
excess portion (Figure 10).
4. Insert the rod connector into the non-threaded end of the top rod
and tighten the screw. (See Figure 11.)
5. Attach the top rod (with the rod connector attached) to the top latch assembly
(Figure 12).
Note: If the hole on the top connecting rod does not align with the
mounting hole of the rod actuator, then adjust the height of
the top rod as shown in Figure 9 or re-cut to length.

STEP 6: TEST OPERATION
1. Depress the push bar and verify that the top and bottom latch are retracted while the push bar is held. Verify that the
top and bottom latch is capable of clearing the strikes while the door is pushed open.
2. Release the push bar and verify that the top and bottom latch are fully extended.
3. Check the device operation by depressing and releasing the push bar several times to assure proper alignment.
4. Repeat device operation by opening and closing the door several times. Test with trim if a trim is used to assure
that installation is correct.
5. Repeat adjustment procedure if either top or bottom latch are not retracted when push bar is held and or if the latch
does not clear the floor or strike.
6. Disconnect the vertical rods from the device and energize the ELR so that the push bar is dogged down.
7. While the push bar is being held down by the ELR, reconnect the vertical rods and verify that the top and bottom
clear the strikes while the ELR is dogged down opening and closing the door.
8. De-energize the ELR and verify that the top and bottom latch are fully extended.
9. Cycle the ELR on and off to verify operation.

STEP 6: INSTALL COVERS
1. Before installing covers, make sure that all screws are fastened down properly on the latch and strike and make
any final adjustments if required.
2. Install the chassis cover, end cap and the top & bottom latch covers.
3. Install the two rod guides into position over the rods as shown in Figure 16.
NOTE:
Electrically dogging the device during high traffic hours of the day will greatly extend the life
of this device.
Electric Dogging:
Providing constant power of 24VDC to the ELR will keep the push bar depressed and the latch retracted.
Release Electric Dogging:
De-energizing the ELR will release the push bar. The push bar will return to the detracted position and the latch will
extend to lock door.
