Testing and Adjusting Exit Device Operation

1. PERFORM a visual inspection to make certain exit device will be level and secure.

2. TEST the operation of the Active Push Bar and the top and bottom bolts and ADJUST as necessary.

3. VERIFY that the top bolt retracts and latches, as appropriate.

4. VERIFY that the top and bottom bolts are flush with the door edges when retracted.

5. PUSH top jam sensor and VERIFY the top and bottom bolts project to 5/8” from the door edge.

6. IF bolts do not move,

THEN CHECK rods for binding.

NOTE: The following is not applicable to fire-rated exit devices. Dogging the Active Push Bar disables

the latching function, making the door a simple push/pull operation.

7. DEPRESS and HOLD active push bar in unlocked position.

8. INSERT and ROTATE hex key one-quarter turn clockwise to lock device (dog) into position.

9. ROTATE hex key one-quarter turn counterclockwise to unlock device and release device into
