Adams Rite 174459 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the Adams Rite M1 and M2 dual signal switch kits?
Both are monitoring switch kits for Adams Rite 3000 and 8000 Series exit devices, and the difference is how many switches you get. M1, part number 91-0897-01, is the single switch version. M2, part number 91-0897-02, carries two switches, so you can feed two separate circuits off one pushbar, for example a local buzzer and a building management input. Either one can be wired normally open or normally closed depending on what your panel expects.
2) Can I add monitoring to an Adams Rite exit device that is already installed, or do I have to replace the device?
You can add it in the field. The Adams Rite dual signal switch kit is field-retrofittable onto 3000 and 8000 Series exit devices that are already hung, so an existing device does not get pulled off the door. The kit mounts beneath the pushbar at the hinge end of the device.
3) Will the Adams Rite switch kit work on my exit device, or is it only for certain series?
It is series specific. The kit is built for Adams Rite 3000 and 8000 Series exit devices, which are the narrow stile aluminum door devices, including the rim and the top-of-door mounted configurations in that family. It is not a universal monitoring switch, so if the device on your door is another brand or another Adams Rite family, this is not the part.
4) Does the Adams Rite monitoring switch kit come wired normally open or normally closed?
Either. The kit is offered with normally open or normally closed wiring options, so it matches whichever state your alarm panel, access control board, or BMS input is looking for. Decide that before you order, because it is the one choice on the kit that has to agree with the head end.
5) What does the Adams Rite dual signal switch kit actually signal when someone pushes the bar?
It gives you a dry electrical signal off the pushbar itself. Pressing the bar changes the switch state, and that can drive a signal light, a buzzer, a local alarm, or an input on a building management or access control system. It reports that egress happened at that door, which is what a school, hospital, or multi-tenant property normally wants monitored.
6) Is this switch kit the same thing as an exit device request-to-exit for access control, and is it a complete exit device?
It is an accessory, not a device. The kit is a monitoring switch that mounts to an existing Adams Rite 3000 or 8000 Series exit device, so you still need the exit device itself, plus your own wiring run back to the panel. It is switch hardware for access control monitoring, not a latch, not a strike, and not a trim.
7) Can I standardize one monitoring switch kit across a building with different Adams Rite exit device setups?
Within the 3000 and 8000 Series you can, which is what makes this practical for a facility with a mix of rim and top-of-door mounted devices on narrow stile aluminum doors. Pick M1 where one circuit is enough and M2 where two openings' worth of signal, or two separate systems, need feeding from the same bar, and keep the NO or NC choice consistent with the panel so the field wiring is the same at every door.
