WARNING

warning

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 and loss of warranty due to unauthorised tampering

The Digital Cylinder AX has a built-in anti-panic module in the anti-panic version and offers limited length customisation: the outer diameter can be any size, whilst the inner diameter is available from 50 mm and the half-cylinder from 50 mm.

Any modifications to the anti-panic cylinder will invalidate the warranty.

  1. Do not attempt to dismantle the anti-panic module, as this may cause it to be damaged.
  2. Please send anti-panic cylinders for retrofitting to the manufacturer.
  3. After every modification to the anti-panic cylinder, carry out an anti-panic function test also yourself.

CAUTION

caution

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.

  1. Do not hold the anti-panic construction of the closing cylinders in the area of the carrier.

NOTE

notice

Maintenance interval of not more than one month for emergency exit locks

As per European standard EN 179, Appendix C, all components in a locking device must be checked at intervals no greater than one month to ensure that they are in satisfactory working order as part of emergency exit locking device maintenance.
