SDC's AUTO Operators Work Well With Electric Latch Retraction Applications

Posted by Security Door Controls on April 22, 2022 at 10:00 AM

SDC's AUTO series operators can power all of SDC's motorized ELR products.

Why should you care?
AUTO series operators eliminates the need for a separate power supply to power latch retraction products with it's own built in 1 Amp+ power supply! 

Since 2012, when SDC launched the QuietDuo™ LR100 series – the first retrofit motorized ELR kits to convert mechanical exit devices – we’ve been “quietly” leading in electric latch retraction upgrades for access control.

SDC now provides these same high performing motorized ELR features in the new American Made S5000 series storefront and S4000 series industrial electrified exit devices.

The new electrified devices, in addition to the existing LR100 series retrofit ELR kits and 7600 series motorized ELR mortise locks are conveniently compatible with low energy operators including SDC's AUTO series.

Highlights of our AUTO series operators include:

  • Built-in 1 Amp+ power supply
  • Single-button, self-tuning setup
  • Onboard lock sequencing
