Adams Rite PS-EXIT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What power supply do I need for an Adams Rite 8000 or 3000 Series exit device with motorized latch retraction?
The Adams Rite PS-EXIT is the supply built for that job. It is made specifically for 8000/3000 Series Adams Rite exit devices ordered with the MLR (motorized latch retraction) or LR (electric latch retraction) option, and it puts out filtered, regulated 24-26 VDC. The reason a general-purpose 24V supply often fails here is inrush: an MLR motor pulls hard for a fraction of a second, and the PS-EXIT is rated to deliver up to 17A pull-in current before settling back to 0.8A continuous per channel. Size a supply on continuous amps alone and the latch stalls or the supply trips.
2) Can one PS-EXIT power supply run two exit devices on a pair of doors?
Yes, the PS-EXIT powers up to two exit devices, which covers a standard pair of doors from a single enclosure. It has two channels, each rated 0.8A continuous, and it can be configured either as single input sequential (one trigger fires both devices, one after the other) or dual input independent (each device triggered separately from its own access control input). Sequential mode is the one to use on a pair where both leaves should retract together off one card read; independent mode suits two separate openings fed from one supply.
3) How long does the PS-EXIT hold the latch retracted after a card read?
The hold time is set in the field, anywhere from 2 to 60 seconds. That is the range a specifier cares about because it decides whether the opening behaves as a momentary unlock (2 to 5 seconds for a card read at a tenant entry) or a long dwell for a delivery, a gurney, or an accessible entrance where someone needs unhurried time through the door. The timer is user-configurable on the unit itself, so the same part covers both cases without reordering.
4) Is the PS-EXIT UL listed for access control use?
The PS-EXIT carries UL 294 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 223 certifications, which is the access control system unit listing an AHJ or a spec writer will look for on an electrified egress opening. That matters on healthcare, education, and government work where the whole access control chain has to be listed, not just the lock.
5) Can a 2 amp access control power supply run a motorized latch retraction exit device instead of the PS-EXIT?
No. The Adams Rite PS-EXIT is rated for 17 Amp pull-in current because a motorized latch retraction device pulls a large surge for a fraction of a second when the latch retracts. Supplies like the Command Access PS204/204B at 2A at 24VDC, the SDC 632 Series at 2 Amp, or the RCI DKPS-2A at 12/24VDC 2A are sized for continuous loads such as electric strikes, magnetic locks, and readers, not for motor inrush. If the load is an MLR or LR exit device, use a supply built for latch retraction - the PS-EXIT, or the BEST RPSMLR2, which is also made for motorized latch retraction exit devices.
6) What should I use for a delayed egress exit device instead of the PS-EXIT?
The BEST PS161-6 is the one to look at - it is a power supply for delayed egress exit devices, with 120V input, 12/24V output and 6A capacity. The Adams Rite PS-EXIT is built for the 8000/3000 Series MLR/LR motorized and electric latch retraction devices and provides a 2-60 second timer for retraction control, which is a different function from the delay timing and alarm sequencing a delayed egress device needs. Match the supply to the device family on the door.
7) What input power does the Adams Rite PS-EXIT need at the enclosure?
It runs on 120V AC line power, so the electrician needs a standard 120V circuit landed at the supply location, not low voltage. Everything downstream of the unit is 24-26 VDC out to the exit devices. Plan the mounting spot with clearance for wiring access, ventilation, and later service, because this is a box someone will open again to change timer settings or troubleshoot a latch that stopped retracting.
8) I need a power supply with battery backup for exit device power - does the PS-EXIT include one?
The Adams Rite PS-EXIT is a filtered and regulated 24-26 VDC supply with 17 Amp pull-in current, up to two exit devices, and a 2-60 second timer. If standby power is a requirement for the opening, the Command Access PS204/204B pairs a 2A at 24VDC linear supply with battery backup, and the Detex 10-800 Series is a universal logic controller with 120VAC/24VDC power supply and battery backup. Note those are sized for smaller continuous loads, so on a motorized latch retraction opening the usual approach is to keep a latch retraction supply on the device and handle backup separately.
9) What is the difference between the Adams Rite PS-EXIT and a multi-output access power controller like the Altronix AL1024ULACMCB?
They solve different problems. The Altronix AL1024ULACMCB is a power supply and access power controller with 115VAC 60Hz at 4.2A input, 24VDC at 10A output and 8 PTC outputs - built to distribute and switch power to a number of separate openings from one enclosure. The Adams Rite PS-EXIT is a dedicated device supply: 24-26 VDC with 17 Amp pull-in current, powering up to two exit devices with a 2-60 second timer per channel. On a building with many strikes and mags, a distribution controller is the right architecture; on doors with 8000/3000 Series MLR/LR devices, the PS-EXIT supplies the retraction current those devices demand.
10) Which power supplies let me select 12V or 24V output, since the PS-EXIT is 24-26 VDC?
The Adams Rite PS-EXIT outputs a fixed filtered and regulated 24-26 VDC, matched to Adams Rite 8000/3000 Series MLR/LR exit devices. Where an opening mixes 12V and 24V hardware, dual voltage units exist: the SDC 631 Series is a 1.5 Amp regulated and filtered DC power controller with dual voltage selection, the SDC 634 Series is a 4 Amp version, the Securitron AQL4 is a 12/24VDC 4/3 Amp switching supply, and the Von Duprin PS902 is a 2A 12/24 VDC field selectable base unit. Those are selected on voltage flexibility rather than on latch retraction current.
11) I need a timer on the power supply - is the ROFU 9126T the same idea as the PS-EXIT?
Both offer timing, but at very different scale. The ROFU 9126T is a plug-in mini power supply, 12 VDC at 1.5A with time delay - a small unit for a single low-draw device. The Adams Rite PS-EXIT delivers 24-26 VDC with 17 Amp pull-in current, a user-configurable 2-60 second timer, and single input sequential or dual input independent operating modes for up to two exit devices. If the timer is meant to hold an MLR or LR exit device retracted, the PS-EXIT is the unit built for that load.
12) Is a power transfer hinge an alternative to the PS-EXIT for powering an exit device?
No - they do two different jobs and an electrified exit device opening often needs both. The ROFU 10305-LA/10306-LA is a tamper resistant power transfer hinge rated 1.5A at 42V; it carries power across the gap from frame to door leaf. The Adams Rite PS-EXIT is the source of that power, supplying 24-26 VDC at up to 17 Amp pull-in current with a 2-60 second timer for 8000/3000 Series MLR/LR devices. Also check the transfer device rating against the retraction current the device draws.
13) Is the Adams Rite PS-EXIT suitable for a residential or light duty application?
It is a commercial access control component. The PS-EXIT is intended for commercial installations, and it only earns its cost where there is a motorized or electric latch retraction exit device on the opening tied into an access control system. On a building with standard mechanical exit devices and no electrified egress, there is nothing for it to power.
14) What should I check on commissioning after wiring an exit device latch retraction power supply?
With the PS-EXIT, test the full sequence, not just that the door unlocks: timer operation at the setting you chose, the exit device actually retracting and then re-latching cleanly, and the handoff with the access control system that triggers it. Re-latching is the one people skip, and a latch that retracts but does not fully return leaves the opening unsecured. Document the timer setting and the mode you selected (sequential or independent) so the next technician is not guessing.
15) What is the difference between the PS-EXIT and the BEST ELR150 control module?
The BEST ELR150 Series is a power supply control module for electronic access control - a control stage that works alongside a power source. The Adams Rite PS-EXIT is a complete supply and controller in one: 110 VAC, 60 Hz, 0.5A input, filtered and regulated 24-26 VDC output, 17 Amp pull-in current, 0.8A continuous per channel, a 2-60 second timer, and single input sequential or dual input independent modes for up to two 8000/3000 Series MLR/LR exit devices. On a two-leaf pair of Adams Rite motorized latch retraction devices, the PS-EXIT covers both the power and the sequencing.
16) Can I use a portable field tester to power an MLR exit device on a service call instead of the PS-EXIT?
A field tester is a bench and troubleshooting tool, not a permanent supply. The Command Access CAT Field Tester is a 12-24VDC portable power supply that runs on DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee batteries, useful for verifying a device operates before the permanent power is landed. The installed supply on an Adams Rite 8000/3000 Series MLR or LR opening is the PS-EXIT, with 110 VAC, 60 Hz, 0.5A input, 17 Amp pull-in current, and UL 294 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 223 certification for the finished installation.
