Motorized ELR For Access Control

Not only does SDC’s S4000 series of electrified industrial exit devices satisfy market demand for a cost-effective exit device with ELR, the S4000 also comes standard with request-to-exit (REX) monitoring, enabling access control compatibility. With a host of additional features and options, S4000 exit devices make application as easy as Install - Power - Done.

Discover the advantages of motorized electric latch retraction in industrial exit devices, including cost-effectiveness and enhanced security. Explore the features of the SDC S4000 exit device and how it can optimize your facility's safety measures.

Understanding Motorized Electric Latch Retraction

In an industrial exit device, the latch retraction mechanism is electrically powered and controlled. When triggered by an authorized signal, such as a push button or an access control system, the motor activates and retracts the latch, allowing the door to open. This automated process eliminates the need for physical exertion to retract the latch, reducing strain on individuals, especially in emergency situations. It also ensures consistent and reliable latch retraction, minimizing the risk of human error or oversight.

Motorized electric latch retraction also enables remote monitoring and control. With the integration of request to exit (REX) monitoring, the system can detect when someone approaches the exit and automatically retract the latch to allow egress. This enhances security by preventing unauthorized access and ensuring a smooth exit process for individuals within the facility.

Exploring the SDC S4000 Exit Device

The SDC S4000 exit device is equipped with a motorized latch retraction mechanism, providing effortless and reliable operation. With its robust construction and durable materials, it is capable of withstanding demanding environments and heavy usage. This ensures long-lasting performance and minimizes the need for frequent maintenance or replacements.Blast_S4000_Image_020524-1

In addition to motorized latch retraction, the SDC S4000 exit device also includes request to exit (REX) monitoring. This feature enhances security by automatically detecting individuals approaching the exit and retracting the latch to allow egress. It can be seamlessly integrated with access control systems, providing a comprehensive security solution for industrial facilities.

Furthermore, the SDC S4000 exit device offers flexibility in installation options. It is compatible with both single and double door configurations, making it suitable for various industrial applications. The device can be easily installed and adjusted to meet specific facility requirements, ensuring a customized, cost effective, and efficient solution.
