Command Access ARLP88-KIT Solenoid Latch Retraction Kit for Adams Rite 8800 Series

The Command Access ARLP88-KIT is a field-installable solenoid latch retraction kit engineered specifically for Adams Rite 8800 Series rim exit devices. Available in 24VAC/VDC and 12VAC/VDC configurations, it integrates directly into existing access control systems — no new exit device required. Installation requires only raceway drilling, and the included 5-foot quick-connect cable simplifies solenoid-to-power-supply wiring. Audible retraction confirmation lets installers verify operation without a second technician at the panel.

Key Features

  • Adams Rite 8800 Series Compatibility: Designed exclusively for 8800 Series rim exit devices; field-installable with raceway drilling only — no device replacement needed.
  • Dual Voltage Options: Factory-configured for 24VAC/VDC (450 mA) or 12VAC/VDC (900 mA) with ±10% voltage tolerance for flexible system integration.
  • 300-Foot Wire Run Support: Supports wire runs up to 300 feet using minimum 18-gauge wire, enabling centralized power supply placement.
  • Extended Duration Capability: Engineered for continuously-on conditions — suitable for stair wheel and other applications requiring sustained latch pullback.
  • Audible Retraction Confirmation: Solenoid click provides immediate operational feedback during commissioning and troubleshooting.
  • Quick-Connect Wiring: Includes 5-foot cable with quick-connect fitting for fast, reliable solenoid-to-supply connection.
  • 3-Year No-Hassle Warranty: Command Access backs this kit with a 3-year warranty for commercial installations.

Command Access ARLP88-KIT-24V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Command Access ARLP88-KIT work on my Adams Rite 8800 rim exit device without replacing the whole device?
That is exactly what the ARLP88-KIT is for. It's a solenoid latch retraction kit built specifically for Adams Rite 8800 Series rim exit devices, and it installs into the device you already have on the door. The only prep is drilling the raceway. You keep the existing exit device, the existing door prep, and the existing trim, and the device gains electric latch retraction off your access control system. It's not a universal kit, though: it fits the 8800 Series rim exits and nothing else.
2) How far can I run wire from the power supply to an Adams Rite 8800 latch retraction kit?
Up to 300 feet, using 18-gauge wire as the minimum. That's enough to put the power supply in a central electrical or IDF closet and feed the openings from there instead of hanging a supply above every door. Go heavier than 18-gauge on the longest homeruns if you like, but do not go smaller. The kit also ships with a 5-foot quick-connect cable at the solenoid end, so the field splice happens at the raceway, not at the solenoid.
3) Can a latch retraction kit stay energized all day for a stairwell re-entry or unlocked-corridor schedule?
Yes. The ARLP88-KIT is built for continuously-on conditions, which is what stair wheel and scheduled-unlock applications demand, where the latch is held retracted for hours rather than pulsed for a few seconds. Size the power supply for the continuous draw, not a momentary one: 450 mA per door at 24V, or 900 mA per door at 12V.
4) What comes in the ARLP88-KIT box and what do I still need to supply?
The kit ships with the solenoid, its mounting bracket, the wiring harness and mounting hardware, plus a 5-foot cable with a quick-connect fitting. What is not in the box is everything upstream: the power supply, the access control input, and the field wire between them. You also need the Adams Rite 8800 rim device itself, since this electrifies an existing one rather than replacing it.
5) How do I verify the latch retraction is actually working during commissioning without a second tech at the panel?
The solenoid gives an audible click on retraction, so one person at the door can hear the pull and confirm the circuit is live. That's the point of the feature: you trigger from the panel or a portable input, stand at the opening, and hear it. Useful during punch-list and later for troubleshooting a door that reports fine at the head end but isn't pulling the latch.
6) Is this a motorized or solenoid latch retraction kit for the Adams Rite 8800?
Solenoid driven. The ARLP88-KIT uses a solenoid to pull the latch, not a motor. Practically that means a fixed current draw whenever it's energized (450 mA at 24V, 900 mA at 12V) rather than the inrush-then-hold profile a motorized kit shows, so power supply sizing is straightforward and the same whether the door is pulsed or held retracted all day.
7) Is the ARLP88-KIT rated for commercial buildings or is it a light-duty residential part?
Commercial. It's specified for commercial installations, and the applications it's built around are access-controlled stairwell and corridor doors, multi-tenant properties, and institutional facilities running rim-style exits. For a facility standardizing electrified exits across a building, the pattern is the same at every 8800 opening: same kit, one voltage choice, one wiring method.
