ACSI ACSI-M1520M-AE-1-ARCN-8808-626-RH-LC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the ACSI M1520M-AE electrified mortise lock come with a cylinder?
No. The M1520M-AE-1 ships less cylinder (LC), so you supply the mortise cylinder to match your keyway and master key system. That is actually the point of the LC configuration on a retrofit: the lock drops into an existing key system instead of forcing a new one.
2) Is this ACSI mortise lock handed, and can I change the hand in the field?
It is a handed lock, ordered as either right hand or left hand. Pick the hand off the door before you order, because both the lever/escutcheon trim and the lock body are built to that hand. The model designation carries the H for handed.
3) Is the ACSI M1520M fail secure or can it be set fail safe?
As catalogued it is the fail secure build (power to unlock), but the motor-controlled 1500 Series locks are user selectable between fail safe and fail secure, so the operation can be set on the job. Fail secure means the outside lever stays locked when power drops; fail safe means it unlocks on power loss, which is what many stairtower and egress-path applications require by code.
4) What voltage does the ACSI 1500 Series electric mortise lock run on?
It accepts 12VAC, 12VDC, 24VDC or 24VAC, so it works off most access control power supplies without a separate step-down. It is continuous duty rated with low power consumption, which matters when you are loading several openings onto one supply.
5) What does Authorized Egress (AE) mean on this ACSI mortise lock?
Authorized Egress is ACSI's request-to-exit function. Turning the inside lever signals the access control system that someone is leaving, so the door position switch or alarm does not read a valid exit as a forced door. The lock is wired to interface with life safety systems on that same signal.
6) Can this electrified mortise lock be used on a fire rated door?
Yes. The 1500 Series electric mortise locks are UL/cUL fire rated up to 3 hours and California State Fire Marshal approved. If you are specifying for a fire rated stairtower or corridor opening, that rating covers the lock itself; the door, frame and closer still have to carry their own labels.
7) Is the ACSI 1500 Series mortise lock Grade 1 for a high traffic commercial opening?
It meets ANSI/BHMA A156.13, Series 1000, Operational Grade 1, and is also built to ANSI/BHMA A156.115 for electrified hardware prep. Grade 1 is the top commercial tier, which is what facilities and institutional specs normally call for on entry, office and stairwell doors.
8) Will this ACSI lock work in a door already prepped for a Yale 8800 mortise lock?
Yes. This is a Yale 8800 Series classroom mortise lock that ACSI modifies with the electrified motor-controlled function, so it uses the 8800 lock body and the standard mortise pocket and trim prep that lock already requires. You are swapping the lock, not recutting the door, though you will need to run power through the frame and hinge to the pocket.
9) Which side does this ACSI lock lock, the inside or the outside lever?
Locking option 1 controls the outside, or secure side, trim. The outside lever is what the access control system locks and releases; the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress and signals request-to-exit while doing it.
10) What lever and escutcheon designs can I get on the ACSI M1520M-AE?
The lever is the AR (Arcadia) design, and you choose between the CN (Camden) escutcheon and the R (Copenhagen) escutcheon. Both come in satin chrome. Match the escutcheon to what is already on the other openings if you are adding a controlled door to an existing Yale 8800 trim scheme.
11) Should I use a motor controlled or solenoid controlled electric mortise lock?
ACSI builds the 1500 Series both ways. The M1520M is the motor-controlled version, and that is the one that gives you selectable fail safe or fail secure operation in the field plus low, continuous-duty current draw. Solenoid versions are the alternative when you want a simpler, direct-acting release and do not need to flip the fail mode later.
12) Is this ACSI mortise lock suitable for a stairwell or stairtower door?
That is one of its intended uses. The 1500 Series electric mortise locks are made for stairtower doors and controlled areas where the opening has to both lock and latch, and they allow remote electric locking or unlocking while conforming to life-safety codes. Combined with the 3 hour fire rating and the request-to-exit signal, it fits the typical stair re-entry spec.
