Sargent R56A-32D Retrofit Motor Kit | Electric Latch Retraction (ELR)

The Sargent R56A-32D is a premium Motor-Driven Latch Retraction retrofit kit engineered to upgrade existing Sargent 80 Series exit devices. Unlike traditional solenoid-driven kits, the R56A motor provides whisper-quiet operation and superior mechanical reliability for high-traffic institutional environments. Finished in 32D (Satin Stainless Steel), this heavy-duty assembly is built to withstand abusive conditions while backed by a 5-year factory warranty.

Institutional Grade Features & Benefits

• Quiet Motor-Driven Retraction: Provides smooth, motorized retraction of the latch bolt, making it ideal for healthcare facilities, libraries, and schools where noise reduction is critical.
• On-Board Adjustable Timer: Includes an integrated 0–10 second timer, eliminating the need for expensive external logic controllers or relays.
• Intelligent Diagnostics: Features a Diagnostic LED to streamline installation and improve field service by providing immediate visual status of the motor's operation.
• Low Power Consumption: Draws only .6A during retraction and drops to a minimal .25A hold, significantly reducing heat buildup and strain on your power supply.
