The safety features of this product are essential to
its compliance with EN 1125. No modification of
any kind, other than those described in these
instructions, are permitted.
Installation and fixing instructions
Before fitting an exit device to a door, the door should be
checked to ensure correct hanging and freedom from
binding.
Before fitting a panic exit device to a fire/smoke resisting
door, the fire certification of the fire door assembly on which
the exit device has been tested to prove suitability for use on
a fire door should be examined. It is of utmost importance
that an exit device is not used on a fire door assembly of a
greater fire resistance time than approved for.
Care should be taken to ensure that any seals or weather-
stripping fitted to the complete door assembly, does not
inhibit the correct operations of the panic exit device.
On double doorsets with rebated meeting stiles and where
both leaves are fitted with panic exit devices, it is essential
to check that either leaf will open when its panic exit device
is activated and also that both leaves will open freely when
both panic exit devices are operated simultaneously.
The use of a carry bar to move the active leaf may be
required for this application.
Panic exit devices are not intended for use on double action
(double swing) doors.
The fixing instructions should be carefully followed during
installation. These instructions and any maintenance
instructions should be passed on by the installer to the user.
The horizontal bar should normally be installed at a height of
between 900 mm and 1 100 mm from the finished floor
level, when the door is in the secured position. Where it is
known that the majority of the occupants of the premises will
be young children, consideration should be given to reducing
the height of the bar.
The horizontal bar should be installed so as to provide the
maximum effective length.
Where panic exit devices are to be fitted to double doorsets
with rebated meeting stiles and self closing devices, a door
coordinator device in accordance with EN 1158 should be
fitted to ensure the correct closing sequence of the doors.
This recommendation is particularly important with
regard to fire/smoke resisting door assemblies.
Any keepers or protection plates provided should be fitted in
order to ensure compliance with this
European Standard.

Maintenance instructions
To ensure performance in accordance with this document,
the following routine maintenance checks should be
undertaken at intervals of not more than one month:
Inspect and operate the panic exit device to ensure that all
components are in a satisfactory working
condition; using a force gauge, measure and record the
£
operating forces ( 80 N) to release the exit device.
Check that the operating forces have not changed
significantly from the operating forces recorded when
originally installed.
Ensure that the keeper(s) is (are) free from obstruction.
Lubricate all contact surfaces.
Check that no additional locking devices have been added to
the door since its original installation.
Check that the operating forces have not changed
significantly from the operating forces recorded when
originally installed.
