With its sleek, modern touchbar design, the 1690 comes in seven popular finishes, four lengths (30˝, 36˝, 42˝ and 48˝ ) and features a full compliment of electrical options. Rod extension kits are also available. Security & Safety
The 1690 panic device carries the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) label and are approved for life safety. In addition, these exit devices meet the requirements of ANSI Grade 1, 2001 revisions. Each device feature an upgraded design that offers increased building security, eliminating the possibility of tampering and forced entry through the use of coat hangers or other tools. And the new streamlined design has no openings for chains — reducing the risk of code infringements. The design of the 1690 is ideally suited for demanding, high-traffic applications. The vertical rods and latch mechanisms are concealed in the vertical door stile, ensuring trouble-free operation. The cover plates and end caps are constructed of cast metal to hold up to rigorous use. A quick, single-point dogging feature in the housing deactivates the device and permits unrestricted traffic flow. This locking mechanism is designed to offer more versatility than crossbars, which require two-point dogging. The Convenience of 1990 Rods/Latches.
Since 1690 utilizes the same rods and latches as the 1990 crossbar device, existing 1990s can be replaced directly with the 1690 device - without removing the door! Other Features Include: Centercase provides a clear indication of direction of egress and completely covers the existing 1990 prep. Metal end caps protect the device from damage caused by passing carts and equipment. Available in US28 Clear, DC13 Dark Bronze, DC35 Black, US3, US10, US26 and US26D (centercase and endcap are powder coated black only). Vertical rods and latches are identical to the 1990 device and can work with existing panic frames. Electric latch retraction and request to exit/touchbar monitor switch options available. Electric dogging: Positioning Retractor as Shown for NL or HB Functions. Install retractor with teeth to right as shown for both RHR and LHR doors; this makes all keys function in the same direction. |
