U section: 150° to 210°
For these doors/mortise locks a Digital Cylinder AX with panic function
(AP) must be used.
Digital Cylinder AX with panic function are equipped with a spring
mechanism which always pulls the tappet into a non-critical position (area
O or area U). This means that the tappet can no longer block the panic
function of a panic lock.
Installation does not differ from installation of the normal comfort cylinder
(see
Comfort cylinder/anti-panic cylinder (CO/AP, reader on one side)
[}32] ).
For doors built along escape routes after April 2003, the following points
must be observed:
All closures for which the approvals state that the Digital Cylinder AX
does no affect the function of the lock, all Digital Cylinder AX can be
used.
