Concealed Vertical Rod Panic Device

Before Installation

Check “Series 1990 Parts List” (see page 5).
Prepare door, threshold, and head jamb: aluminum door page 7; hollow metal door page 8; threshold and head jamb page 6

NOTES

Handing of device can be changed.
Latch mounting center lines need not be the same as the housing center lines. The operating rod can work at an angle to permit ounting of latches so they will clear projections inside the door.
Crossbar length equals the distance between the housing vertical centerlines minus 1-3/4

INSTALLATION

Install rod assemblies.

For hollow metal door, attach latch brackets to sides of top and bottom latches with #10-32 x 1/4” UFPH machine screws (Figure 1-1). 1b Slide top rod assembly into door. Hollow metal door: Secure each latch bracket to door with two #10-32 x 3/8” FPHmachine screws. Aluminum door: Secure top latch to door with two #10-32 x 1/4” UFPH machine screws through face
of door into front mounting holes on latch. 1c Install bottom rod assembly into door. If using rod latch (RL) bottom rod assembly: For hollow metal door, secure each
latch bracket to door with two #10-32 x 3/8” FPH machine screws; for aluminum door, secure top latch to door with two #10-32 x 1/4” UFPH machine screws through face of door into front mounting holes on latch. 1d For hex bottom rod, install hex rod guide in door with #10-24 x 3/8” UFPHTC screws (Figure 1-2). 1e Install rod bearing bushing over end of each rod and secure with retaining ring (Figure 1-3).

1f Check latch operation and rod length adjustment:

a. Place traveler over rod ends.
b. Slide traveler up. Top latch should release and hold rods in up position, and bottom latch should be completely retracted (flush with bottom edge of door).
c. Move top latch back to locked position. Rods should drop down, locking top latch and extending bottom latch approximately 1/2”.
d. If necessary, adjust rod lengths for correct operation. Remove traveler after adjustment

2 Install cylinder
