Installation instructions

Overview of Product
The PM300 is a power booster interface module that fits inside of an electric latch pullback exit device. When installed in the exit device
it typically allows for a much longer wire run from the power supply to the exit device (typically up to 700' with 18/2 wire) than the exit
device manufacturer's original recommendations. This is great solution for projects that were pre-wired with too thin of a gauge wire or
where a discerning architect wants all the power supplies consolidated in a central room for simplified maintenance. Additionally, this is a
great solution when the original exit device manufacturer's power supply is not available or is cost prohibitive.
Here's how the PM300 works – When the exit device is triggered, the power supply sends power to quickly charge the PM300. Within
500ms, the PM300 releases its high current pulse to the exit device solenoid giving it what it needs to retract the latch bolt. Once the latch
bolt is retracted, the PM300 switches to the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode that reduces the current and allows the solenoid to
remain energized continuously, if desired. This unit is also equipped with a mode switch that allows the option of High Output mode for
those applications the require a higher pulse (special power supply required).
PM300UNIV
Models:
PM300UNIV-D
Specifications:
Operating Voltage Range: 26.5V +/-15%
Wires:
Relays: We recommend that minimum 5A relays are used with the PM300 when used with
Power Supply Options for PM300UNIV and PM300UNIV-D in Standard Mode:
The PM300 works best with the Command Access PS1N, PS2, PS2BB & all PS5 series regulated power supplies. The PM300 will also work
with most Regulated power supplies rated at 24VDC and 1.5A or higher. Although we do not recommend using power supplies that we
have not thoroughly tested with the PM300, if you choose to do so anyway we recommend you consider the following:
1. The Regulated power supply should be rated 24VDC at 1.5 Amps or higher.
2.
If the output fuses are glass type, they will need to be rated at minimum of 3.5 A. If the fuses are the resetable type, they should
have a trip rating of 1Amp or higher and a hold of a 1/2 Amp or greater.
(
If these values are not listed, the power supply manufacturer should be able to give you this information. We recommend that you consult with the power supply
manufacturer to confirm that if replacing the fuses with a higher value is necessary that doing so will not damage the power supply or create any kind of safety risk)
(Note: Not compatible with Adams Rite, Dorma, Yale, Corbin Russwin, Precision latch retraction power supplies)
Power Supply Options for PM300UNIV and PM300UNIV in High Output Mode:
In High Output mode, the PM300 is design to be powered by the Command Access PS1N, PS5-4, and PS5-6 power supplies only.

  • Page 2 Wire Run Guidelines: For best results we recommend that your maximum wire run not exceed the following: 18ga.= 700’ 16ga. = 1000’ 14ga. = 1250’ 12ga. = 1500’ . Note: A longer wire run than the maximum distances listed may result in an increased delay time and possible solenoid “drop out” due to Power transfer from hinge jamb to exit device: A power transfer hinge or door loop may be used provided the wire gauge meets or exceeds 22 gauge.
