SECURITRON MODEL MUNL-12, MUNL-24 MORTISE UNLATCH
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. DESCRIPTION
Securitron’s Mortise UnLatch is a revolutionary new type of electric strike which
eliminates the
necessity to perform a routing operation on the door frame for installation
. The
motor
driven
Mortise UnLatch also presents a
fully concealed appearance
on the door which not
only enhances architectural appeal but
improves security
over a conventional electric strike as
an intruder is less able to determine the type of security device present on the door. The
Mortise UnLatch
functions with all North American mortise locks
and includes a
latch
status output
which reports when the door is in latched (secure) condition or is open.
Product Specifications
are: Input Voltages
: 12 VDC (MUNL-12), +20%, -10%. 24 VDC

input surge @ 12 VDC; 2 Amp input surge @24 VDC for 100 milliseconds and 600 mA @ 12
VDC or 300 mA @ 24 VDC during motor movement.

2. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
2.1 SURVEY
The installer must first be sure that the
latch is of the mortise type
(see the drawing to the right.) A mortise lock (or latch) includes a
square shaped springlatch and a “pin” called the deadlatch pin or
guard bolt which may be positioned either above or below the
springlatch. Most
mortise panic bar
latches are also perfectly
compatible with the MUNL.
Note, however, that if the mortise lock
assembly includes a dead bolt
, the dead bolt will not be operable
The most common
alternate type of latch
in use in North America is
called
cylindrical, tubular or bored
. The standard UnLatch (model
numbers UNL-12 and UNL-24) is designed for this alternate type of
latch. Securitron does not offer an UnLatch solution for a rim latch
(rim latches are on the surface of the door rather than being mortised
into the middle of the door).
