Command Access MLRK1-FAL17 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Command Access MLRK1-FAL17 kit work on a Falcon Dor-o-matic 1690 exit device?
Yes. The MLRK1-FAL17 motorized latch retraction kit is built for Falcon Dor-o-matic 1690 and 1790, the AHT4/5 series, and First Choice 3600 and 3700 exit devices. It installs into the existing push bar, so you keep the device already on the door and only drill the raceway to run wire. If your device is not one of those families, this is not the kit for it.
2) How far can the power supply be from the door on a Command Access MLRK1 retraction kit?
Up to 300 feet of 18 gauge wire between the supply and the device. That covers most runs from an electrical or IT closet back to an entry, so you usually do not need a local supply at the opening. Go heavier than 18 gauge or shorten the run if your design pushes past that.
3) Does the MLRK1-FAL17 kit include the control module and power lead, or do I order those separately?
A 6 foot Molex power lead is included and plugs straight into the MM5 control module, so there is no field termination at the device end. The MM5 gives audible diagnostics and power feedback, which is what you use to tell a supply problem from a motor problem on a callback. You still supply the 24VDC power source and the wire run back to it.
4) Can I add electric dogging to an existing Falcon 1690 push bar without replacing the exit device?
That is exactly what this kit does. It is a field installable retrofit that electrifies the exit device already hung on the door, giving motorized latch retraction and electric dogging rated for continuous duty. If the pad gets pulled away, the latch automatically re-engages. The only mechanical work is drilling the raceway for the wire.
5) What is the difference between low torque and high torque mode on this latch retraction kit?
The two modes are field switchable on the kit. Low torque peaks at 900 mA and high torque peaks at 2A. Bigger, heavier doors and openings with more resistance in the device need the high torque setting; lighter doors run fine on low torque and draw less from the supply. Pick the mode after the device is on the door, not when you order.
6) How do you adjust latch engagement after installing a Command Access motorized latch retraction kit?
The kit uses 1 Touch PTS, with roughly a 1/4 inch adjustment range. That lets you fine tune how far the latch pulls back after the kit is in the device, so a door that is not quite releasing or is retracting too far can be corrected in the field without pulling the bar apart again.
7) Is a motorized latch retraction kit or a solenoid latch pullback the right choice for a high traffic entrance?
Motorized retraction, like the MLRK1-FAL17, is the one to use where the door dogs open for long stretches. It is rated for continuous duty, so the latch can stay held back through a whole business day, and it draws 900 mA to 2A at peak rather than the constant heavy pull of a solenoid. Solenoid pullback is generally a momentary duty device and is not the choice for holding an entrance unlatched all day.
8) Is the Command Access MLRK1-FAL17 kit suitable for a commercial building access control tie-in?
It is a commercial door hardware product and it is built to be driven from an access control system: 24VDC in, latch retracts, door pushes free. Common uses are office buildings, schools, hospitals, retail, and multi-tenant residential where existing Falcon or First Choice exit devices need to come under card reader or scheduled unlock control without replacing the devices.
