It supports a comprehensive range of electric options, including Remote Latch Retraction (56-), Electric Dogging (58-), and Request-to-Exit (55-) monitoring. To guarantee a reliable, "plug-and-play" installation, using the QC12 Electrolynx connector on the associated hinge is the optimal choice for connecting the device's internal Molex connectors to your power source without complex wiring.
