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

1) Will the ACSI M1520M-AE electrified mortise lock stay locked if the building loses power?
Yes. The 1520M AE function is fail secure: the outside trim unlocks when power is applied and locks when power is removed, so a power failure leaves the door secured from the outside. Free egress from the inside is mechanical and unaffected. If your opening needs the opposite behavior, the motor-controlled lock is user selectable between fail safe and fail secure in the field, so the same lock can be set either way.
2) Does the ACSI M1520M-AE mortise lock come with a cylinder?
No, it ships less cylinder. Every configuration is the LC (Less Cylinder) build, so you supply a mortise cylinder in your own keyway and keying so the lock drops into an existing master key system. Budget the cylinder and cam separately when you order.
3) What power supply does an ACSI 1500 Series motor controlled mortise lock need?
It runs on 12 to 24V, AC or DC. Current draw is 250mA inrush and 10mA holding at 12 or 24V, and it is continuous duty rated, so a modest access control power supply handles it and can hold several openings. Size the supply for the inrush, not the holding figure.
4) What does Authorized Egress (AE) mean on this ACSI electric mortise lock, and do I still need a separate request to exit device?
AE gives you request to exit built into the lock. Turning the inside lever signals the access control panel that someone is leaving, so the system shunts the alarm instead of reporting a forced door. That removes the need for a separate REX motion sensor or push button at the opening. There is also a monitor switch rated 2A at 30VDC and 3A at 125VAC for door or latch status reporting back to the panel.
5) Is this ACSI electrified mortise lock approved for a fire rated stair door?
Yes. It is UL Listed, California State Fire Marshal approved, and UL/cUL fire rated up to 3 hours. It meets ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1 and ANSI/BHMA A156.115, and it is ADA compliant. ACSI built the 1500 Series specifically for stairtower doors and controlled areas where the door must both lock and latch, so remote locking and unlocking can be done without breaking life safety code.
6) Which side does the ACSI M1520M-AE-1 lock control, the inside or the outside lever?
The 1 locking option means standard control locks the outside, secure side trim. Power controls the outside lever only. The inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress, which is what keeps the opening code compliant on a stair or exit path, and turning it fires the request to exit signal.
7) Do I have to order the ACSI 1520M handed for a left or right hand door?
No. The lock is field reversible, so one part number covers left and right hand openings and you can flip it on site. That matters if you are standardizing a building: you stock one lock instead of two, and a door that gets rehung later does not force a new order.
8) What lever and escutcheon designs and finishes can I get on the ACSI M1520M-AE-1-8808?
Five lever and escutcheon combinations are offered: Arcadia (AR) lever with Copenhagen (R) escutcheon, Augusta (AU) with Camden (CN), Carmel (CR) with either Camden or Copenhagen, and Jefferson (JN) with either Camden or Copenhagen. Each comes in four finishes, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze equivalent, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless steel. Levers are 4-1/2 inches. Match the finish and lever family to the mechanical Yale 8800 locks already on adjacent doors and the electrified opening will not read as an odd one out.
9) Motor controlled or solenoid controlled electric mortise lock, which should I use?
ACSI offers the 1500 Series both ways. The motor controlled build, which is what the 1520M is, draws only 10mA holding and is the one that lets you select fail safe or fail secure operation in the field without swapping hardware. Solenoid control is the alternative in the series. If your concern is heat, power budget across many openings, or wanting one SKU that can serve both stair side and office side behavior, motor control is the reason to pick this one.
10) Will an ACSI 1520M electrified lock hold up on a classroom or office door with heavy traffic?
It is a Grade 1 commercial lockset with a solid steel hub, a 3/8 inch hub size, and a stainless steel one-piece anti-friction latchbolt, and ACSI lists classroom, office, and utility room doors as its applications. The anti-friction latch matters on doors with a closer, since it reduces drag against the strike and helps the door latch fully every time. It is a commercial product, not a residential one.
11) Can I run this ACSI lock into an existing access control panel with life safety interface?
Yes, it is built to interface with life safety systems, which is how the remote lock and unlock stays code compliant on stair doors. Wiring is 12 to 24VAC or VDC with a 250mA inrush and 10mA hold, and the built-in monitor switch (2A at 30VDC, 3A at 125VAC) gives the panel a dry contact for status. Plan for door loop or transfer hinge power to the door leaf, since the lock is in the door.
