General Description

The SARGENT 57-Delayed Egress Exit Device is designed to work with an external electromagnetic lock in areas that require a delayed egress which alarms at the door when any attempt is made to violate the door.
The 57- device can be tied into a fire alarm system.

NOTE: Proper connections and appropriate peripheral hardware are required.

BC-Prefix Option
The BC prefix for 57- indicates that the unit has been programmed to comply with the section of the BOCA code relating to delayed egress.
BOCA allows for automatic reset of the delayed egress unit. Under BOCA, the unit can automatically reset thirty (30) seconds after the door has been cycled. If the door is opened any time during the thirty (30) seconds, the timer in the unit resets and waits another thirty (30) seconds before rearming. This requires a door position switch.
Note: If a door position switch is not used (Blue wire connected to Black wire), the unit will automatically reset in 30 seconds.

Delayed Egress 57- Dip Switch Settings

S2-1 Nuisance Delay – (Field selectable 0 or 1 second) A one second nuisance delay can be enabled by setting Dip Switch (S2-1) to the “On” position. When nuisance delay is enabled, the unit will require the push bar to be depressed for more than one second in order to trigger an irreversible alarm condition. If the push bar is released before the 1 second has elapsed, the unit will go back into the “delayed egress mode” and the alarm will not sound. Nuisance delay is set to
“On” position at factory.
If the Dip Switch S2-1 is in the “Off” position, there will be no nuisance delay and alarm horn will sound immediately when the push bar is depressed.

S2-2 Nuisance Audibl e – (Field selectable on or off) An audible horn is enabled by setting Dip Switch S2-2 to the “On” position. The internal horn will sound as soon as the push bar is depressed, signaling that the device is armed. If the pushbar is held down for more than 1 second, an irreversible alarm condition begins. If Dip Switch S2-2 is in the “Off” position, the horn will not sound during nuisance delay.
Nuisance audible is set to “On” position at factory to sound horn when rail is depressed during nuisance delay.

  • S2-1 On – (1) second Nuisance Delay
  • S2-1 Off – No Nuisance Delay

System Wiring Examples

Sample Wiring #1 – Basic 57- Delayed Egress with Fire Alarm and Remote Reset
During a fire alarm condition, the fire alarm contact opens which de- energizes the rail magnet and allows immediate egress.

SARGENT-57-Series-Delayed-Egress-Exit-Device-18 SARGENT-57-Series-Delayed-Egress-Exit-Device-19Wiring Notes:

  1. Rail, raceway, electric hinge and pigtail
  2. 8- pin connector terminations and wire colors all match.
  3. Tape or cap off ends of unused pigtail wires (not shown) to ensure that they do not short. A fire alarm tie-in is required on fire rated openings.
  4. The fire alarm contact (when required) must be wired to drop 24VDC power to rail. In this case, terminate fire alarm contact between the red (+ 24VDC) wire and supply + 24VDC output.

ATTENTION: Electrified Trim applications require a separate raceway & power transfer device. Installation of conductors or harnesses (by others) through the exit device rail is prohibited as it could lead to product performance issues up to and including product failure.

Sample Wiring #2 – 57- Exit Device with inside Keypad, Fire Alarm, Door Status and Remote Horn
A valid code entry at the 4291 (Inside) keypad shunts the 57- exit device and allows egress for a time period programmable at the keypad. During a fire alarm condition, the contact opens which de-energizes the external electromagnet and allows immediate egress. When the rail is armed and the door is forced open, the 3287 door status switch signals the rail sounding the rail alarm.

Operating Instructions

Note: Power-up sequence is as follows:

  • Both insert LEDs illuminate “red” for 2 seconds while concurrently sounding buzzer for 500ms.
  • Both insert LEDs illuminate “green” for 2 seconds (no buzzer)
  • The (4) diagnostic LEDS on bottom of module illuminate for 2 seconds.
  • Insert LED illuminates to the switch position (armed or not armed).

There are three modes of operation: Armed (Delayed Egress), Momentary Egress and Maintained Egress.

These modes are set by fully inserting a valid key and rotating it in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction until there is a click (detent). Note that a second click must be engaged in order to set momentary egress. To remove the key, it must be returned to its original center position.

SARGENT-57-Series-Delayed-Egress-Exit-Device-24

Armed Mode (Delayed Egress)

  1. Apply power to the System; horn will sound for one second.
  2. Both LEDs will flash RED, then both LEDs will flash GREEN.
  3. Green (default) or Red LED on Electroguard™ insert will illuminate (See DIP switch settings section 7).
  4. Rail assembly is armed. Latchbolt cannot be retracted by depressing the push rail for immediate egress. If rail is depressed for (min.) one second, alarm will sound.
  5. If any of above sequence fails to function, the unit is not armed. See: Troubleshooting section SARGENT-57-Series-Delayed-Egress-Exit-Device-25

Momentary Egress Mode SARGENT-57-Series-Delayed-Egress-Exit-
Device-26

  1. Rotate key counter-clockwise to 2nd click and return key to center position (key out).
  2. Red (Default) or Green LED flashes on insert for a factory preset time of 5 seconds. (For other time selections and LED color, see Dip Switch Settings section 7). The rail assembly will disarm itself and de-energize the external magnet for this time period allowing for momentary egress.
  3. After the factory preset time of 5 seconds, delay expires. Rail assembly re-arms itself and the external magnet is re-energized.
  4. Unit is then in Delayed Egress Mode (or Power Up State).

Maintained Egress Mode

  1. Rotate key fully clockwise (one click) and return key to center position (remove key).
  2. Red (default) or Green LED will illuminate. See Dip Switch Settings section 5 for LED color settings.
  3. Rail assembly is disarmed allowing the device to operate as a standard exit device permitting free egress.

SARGENT-57-Series-Delayed-Egress-Exit-Device-27

Resetting the Unit from Maintained Egress Mode to Armed Mode

  1. Rotate key counter-clockwise and return key to center position (remove key).

  2. Maintained Red (Default) or Green LED de-energizes and Armed Green (default) or Red LED will illuminate.
    See Dip Switch Settings section 5.

  3. The rail assembly re-arms itself into the Delayed Egress Mode. External electromagnetic lock is energized. Door is locked. SARGENT-57-Series-Delayed-Egress-Exit-Device-28

While in the Delayed Egress Mode

  1. The rail assembly is armed – Green (default) or Red LED is illuminated, preventing immediate egress. See Dip Switch Settings section 5.

  2. When the push rail is depressed for more than (1) second (nuisance delay), the alarm will sound and the Red and Green LEDs alternately flash. If there is no nuisance delay, alarm will sound immediately when push rail is depressed and the Red and Green LEDs will again flash alternately.

  3. The alarm will continue to sound until the rail assembly is reset by inserting the key into the cylinder located on the mounting insert and rotating the key clockwise (one click) to return the unit to the armed mode.
    NOTE: A 57-BC-80 Series device automatically resets 30 seconds after door has been closed. (Requires door position switch).

  4. During first 15 seconds after alarm begins, the rail assembly remains armed and external electromagnet is locked, preventing immediate egress. After 15 seconds, the rail releases the external electromagnet, allowing egress.
    NOTE: The delayed egress time can be factory-set to 30 seconds. Local authority having jurisdiction (LHJ) prevails. Delay times may be regulated by local codes ordinances and regulations. SARGENT-57-Series-Delayed-Egress-
Exit-Device-29

Unit Tied Into A Fire Alarm System – Optional for Non-Labeled Devices

  1. In case of a fire/emergency, the rail assembly will release the external electromagnet instantaneously, voiding the 15 second delay, allowing immediate egress and continuous immediate egress.
  2. LED will be extinguished and the rail will remain unlocked.
  3. Once the fire alarm contact re-closes, the rail assembly automatically sets the unit into the armed mode, preventing immediateegress. SARGENT-57-Series-Delayed-Egress-Exit-Device-30NOTE: Fire Alarm contact must be a normally closed (N.C.) contact.

External Inhibit Input – Optional
Used to provide remote override of the delayed egress unit when in an armed condition.

  1. External inhibit is a normally open (N.O.) contact to common (-return).
  2. If triggered, the unit is in an unarmed state for the duration of the time delay in the card reader, key switch or other external inhibit. Once the time delay from external inhibit device expires, the unit arms itself immediately.

Remote Reset Input – Optional
Used to provide remote reset when the delayed egress unit is in alarm and momentary egress when delayed egress unit is armed.

  1. Remote reset input is a normally open (N.O.) contact to common (-return).
  2. If triggered when unit is in alarm, the device is immediately reset to armed mode.
  3. If triggered when unit is in armed mode, the device shall allow momentary egress for the time specified by the DIP switch settings then return to armed mode.

Manual hex key dogging (non-fire rated) application note:
If push bar is in the dogged (retracted) position when 24VDC power to rail is cycled (via fire alarm/reset or temporary power outage), the device will enter hall error mode “Both Insert LEDs flash rapid RED and GREEN”.
To clear this error mode, use the manual hex key to un-dog the push bar, ensure the push bar returns to the extended (home) position then turn the cylinder key CW to Maintained Egress mode then CCW to the center (Armed) position (or cycle 24VDC power to rail with cylinder key set to center – Armed position).
The device should clear error mode and Arm.

Troubleshooting

The tables below are provided to assist in the installation and troubleshooting of the 57- exit device.

The following table lists the status and function of the (2) Green/Red LEDs located on the rail insert.

Visible Insert LEDs Function
Green (Default) or Red ON only Rail is Armed – Delayed Egress Mode
Red(Default) or Green ON only Rail is Disarmed – Maintained (Free) Egress

Mode
Red (Default) or Green “Flashing”| Rail is in Momentary Egress Mode
Green and Red “Alternate”, Rail Horn is ON| Rail is in violation

IMPORTANT: Always remove power to the rail before disconnecting or reconnecting connectors at the 57- PCB module assembly. Disconnect the 24VDC Power Supply or remove the Red (+24VDC) power wire at the rail.

The diagnostic LEDs are visible after install with end cap removed.

SARGENT-57-Series-Delayed-Egress-Exit-Device-33

Refer to the following table and notes for an explanation of each LED’s function.

Diagnostic LEDs Function
Yellow (Latch Bolt/Rod Monitor) ON – Latch Bolt or Vertical Rods are

retracted

OFF – Latch Bolt or Vertical Rods are extended/latched

Red (Push Rail Switch)| ON – Rail Push Bar is depressed OFF – Rail Push Bar is released
Orange (Door Status Switch)| ON – Door Status Switch is open. Door is open/violated

OFF – Door Status Switch is closed. Door is closed and secure

Green (Magnet)| ON – Rail Magnet is energized (+24VDC from main board) OFF – Rail Magnet is de-energized

NOTES
With Rim, Mortise and Vertical Rod Exit Devices:
When jumper is missing or in wrong position, the Yellow Diagnostic LED turns ON. To locate (J5) jumper, remove Insert Assembly and Insert Assembly Plate:

SARGENT-57-Series-Delayed-Egress-Exit-Device-31

  1. When the rail is armed (in Delayed Egress Mode) and the door is closed and latched, the Green (default) or Red LED and the Green Diagnostic LED should be ON only. All other diagnostic LEDs should be OFF.
  2. With the rail armed, depressing the rail push bar slightly will turn the Red Diagnostic LED ON. The rail should go into alarm immediately (no nuisance delay) or after being pressed in for 1 second (1-second nuisance delay). The rail will be in the irreversible alarm mode – Insert Green and Red LED flash and the rail horn sounds. After a standard delay of 15 seconds (or 30-second optional delay), the external magnet de-energizes and passage is allowed. The rail horn will continue to sound until the rail is reset either with a key or remotely.
  3. When a Door Status switch is used and the door is opened the Orange Diagnostic LED will turn ON, which indicates that the door is not secure. When NOT using a Door Status switch, the Blue wire should be connected to Black (-Return). In this case, the LED will always be OFF.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR ARMING RAIL (DELAYED EGRESS MODE)

  • To Arm 57- Rail– The Blue Door Status Switch (DSS) wire must be connected directly to the Black wire (-Return) or the contacts must be closed as shown.

SARGENT-57-Series-Delayed-Egress-Exit-Device-32

  • Only these (3) wires are needed to arm rail along with the correct LBM switch and Push Rail Switch position as shown before
    ** Fire Alarm Contact (if required)

Symptom / Failure
*Refer to Diagnostic LED Table/Description and Minimum Requirements to Arm Rail sections.

  • A. Rail won’t arm – (Armed LED won’t turn ON / Horn sounds immediately or after a delay)

    • When trying to arm, the rail goes into alarm immediately after momentary egress times out or after a short delay after the momentary egress times out.
    • Are the Yellow, Red and Orange Diagnostic LEDs OFF?
      YES – Replace defective PCB module assembly.
      *NO – All of these LEDs should be OFF. Troubleshoot according to which LED is ON. If any LED stays ON after troubleshooting, consult 1-800-810-WIRE
  • B. Rail won’t arm – (Armed LED won’t turn ON / Horn stays OFF) –

    • The rail is receiving an external inhibit signal
    • The Orange wire is connected to Black wire (-Return) through external device or directly
    • The rail is in fire alarm condition
  • C. Rail arms, but the external electromagnet is not energized when pushbar is depressed – (Armed LED and Green Diagnostic LED are ON) –

    • Troubleshoot external electromagnet or external wiring. If wires can’t be repaired, consult 1-800-810-WIRE
  • D. Rail Arms, but will not go into alarm when depressing push bar –

    • Does the Red Diagnostic LED turn ON when depressing push bar?
      YES – Replace defective PCB module assembly.
      NO – The push rail hall switch is defective or out of activation range. If wires can’t be repaired or if switch can’t be adjusted (on rails which allow adjustment), consult 1-800-810-WIRE.
  • *E. LEDs flash RED then GREEN in sequence approximately 0.25 seconds (Hall Error Mode). Horn and all diagnostic LEDs are off –**

    • Rail may or may not arm prior to this error code
    • Check harnesses are connected to controller PCBs
    • Push rail hall switch circuit defective or out of activation range. Consult 1-800-810-WIRE (9473).
    • If the push bar was in the dogged (retracted) position during a 24VDC power cycle (via fire alarm/reset or temporary power outage) this hall error mode will occur. To clear error un-dog push bar with manual hex key, ensure bar extends fully then turn cylinder key CW to Maintained Egress position then CCW to Armed (center) position (or cycle 24VDC power) to rearm device.
      *If horn sounds or flashing sequence differs from the above; or if error mode does not clear, consult 1-800-810-WIRE (9473)

IMPORTANT: RAIL IS NOT ARMED WHEN IN THIS CONDITION!

ATTENTION:
Electrified Trim applications require a separate raceway & power transfer device. Installation of conductors or harnesses (by others) through the exit device rail is prohibited as it could lead to product performance issues up to and including product failure.
