Escape door function malfunction

The use of unsuitable components or ones that are not ready for operation can impair the function of an escape door. If you use the anti-panic cylinder in non-approved locks, the escape door function may be impaired and cannot be released again.

  1. Make sure that all parts of the lock are ready for operation.
  2. Make sure that the panic function of the mortise lock is ensured.
  3. Please refer to the documentation of the lock manufacturer.
  4. Use the anti-panic cylinder within the specified temperature range.
  5. Perform a function test after installing the anti-panic cylinder or changing its battery.

Malfunction of the anti-panic function due to unauthorised manipulation

In its anti-panic version, the Digital Cylinder AX has a permanently installed anti-panic module and is modular in length to a limited extent: outer side as required, inner side from 50 mm and half cylinder from 50 mm.

  1. Do not attempt to dismantle the anti-panic module as this may damage it.
  2. Perform a battery test every time that you modify it.

Hand injuries from carrier springing back

A spring-loaded carrier is used in the anti-panic construction of the closing cylinder. This carrier can spring back when it is not installed, causing hand injuries.
