pushpad was pulled out at least 3 times)
Wait 15 seconds and latchbolt will retract again OR
remove and reapply power to clear condition.
Voltage low during latchbolt retraction
(latchbolt retracts at reduced force)
Wire length is too long, wire gauge is too small, or
power supply has poor regulation.
Input voltage is too high for proper operation
Wrong power supply, power supply defective.
Input voltage is too low for proper operation
Wrong power supply, power supply defective or not
set to the proper output voltage.
To set, remove AC power from power supply,
change power supply setting from 12 to 24 VDC,
then reapply AC power and verify proper operation.
No input voltage
Problem with the power supply, control switch, or
wiring.

5 Adjust rods.
Top Rod Adjustment
5.1. Dog the device. If it dogs and undogs freely, go to Step 5.2. If it does not, the top rod is too long. To determine how much to
shorten the top rod:
A. Undog the device.
B. Hold the top rod all the way up and push the lift arm to the bottom of its travel with the touchbar completely out.
C. Measure the distance between the bottom of the traveler projection and the top of the lift arm roller (see Figure 5-1).
D. Subtract the distance from 1/2".
E. Using the difference from Step D, find the number of turns to shorten the top rod from the "Rod Adjustment Table" below.
F. Remove the top rod and shorten it by the required number of turns. Reinstall the top rod.
5.2. Dog the device and push the traveler against the lift arm while maintaining pressure on the traveler. Attempt to pivot the top
latch bolt (See Figure 5-2). If the top latch bolt pivots freely, go to Step 5.3. If the top latch bolt drags or lifts the top rod, the
top rod is too short. To determine how much to lengthen the top rod:
A. Push the traveler all the way down then slowly lift it away from the lift arm until the top latch bolt moves freely.
B. Measure the distance between the bottom of the traveler projection and the top of the lift arm roller (see Figure 5-1).
C. Using the measured distance, find the number of turns to lengthen the top rod from the "Rod Adjustment Table" below.
D. Remove the top rod and lengthen it by the required number of turns. Reinstall the top rod.

Bottom Rod Adjustment
5.3. Undog the device and push down firmly on the lift arm and on the end of the bottom rod (be sure the touchbar is all the way out).
Find the distance of the bottom rod from the bottom of the door. Make sure you measure from the bottom of the door, not from
the latch housing. If the bottom rod is flush with the door or sticks out from the door no more than 1/32" go to Step. 7
5.4. If the bottom rod sticks out more than 1/32" the bottom rod is too long. To determine how much to shorten the bottom rod:
A. Measure the distance that the bottom rod sticks out of the door and look up the number of turns required to shorten the
bottom rod in the "Rod Adjustment Table."
B. Remove the bottom rod, shorten it by the required number of turns, and reinstall the bottom rod.
5.5. If the bottom rod is recessed into the door by more than 1/16" the bottom rod is too short. To determine how much to lengthen
the bottom rod:
A. Measure the distance that the bottom rod is recessed into the door and look up the number of turns required to lengthen
the bottom rod in the "Rod Adjustment Table."
B. Remove the bottom rod, lengthen it by the required number of turns, and reinstall bottom rod.

6 Install outside cylinder. (If no outside cylinder, go to Step 8.)
6.1. Remove traveler lift bracket and axle (Figure 6-1).
!
6.2. Cut cylinder tailpiece to correct length (Figure 6-2).
The lift arm should remain
attached to the device.
Removing the axle simplifies Step 6.2.
6.3. Install 1-1/4" Rim cylinder into door and secure with two
mounting screws. Screws must be flush with surface of
door. Tailpiece should be horizontal as shown.

TOUCHBAR DOGGING
!
NOTE
These instructions are for touchbar dogging of new style DOM 1690
devices. New style devices have two cover screws installed vertically
into the center case cover. (Old style devices have four cover screws
installed horizontally into the center case cover.)
!
NOTE
MEL (electric latch retraction) devices cannot be mechanically dogged
using the touchbar. If mechanical hold back is required in addition to
electric latch hold back, use the pull side HB key cylinder option.
To Dog Device (hold latch retracted)
1. Depress touchbar with hand and maintain pressure on touchbar.
2. Insert dogging key into hole on touchbar.
3. Rotate key approximately 1/8 turn clockwise.
4. Release pressure on touchbar (touchbar will remain depressed to door).

SETTING ROD LENGTHS
!
NOTE
Rods should be in locked position.
Factory length settings are for standard 7' door (door height = 83.187") with C dimension = 41.313":
TR = 41-7/32" (41.219") and BR = 39-25/32" (39.781")
1. Determine top rod set length TR: TR = door height
C

2. Set top rod to nearest 1/32" as determined in Step 1. With jamb nut secured, overall length
should be within 1/32" of Step 1 with latch in locked position.
3. Determine overall bottom rod length BR: BR = C

4. Set bottom rod to nearest 1/32" as determined in Step 3. For RL bottom rod
assembly, jamb nut must be tightened so bent end of rod is parallel to sides
of latch housing. For hex bottom rod assembly, jamb nut must be tightened
so bent end of rod is perpendicular to flat on hex bolt (see end view).

RE-HANDING DEVICE
1. Remove axle (Figure 1).
2. Remove lift arm and
reinstall on opposite
