Frequently Asked Questions - 9400 Dormakaba

How do I determine the correct handing for my Dormakaba 9400 exit device?

The device is shipped standard for one hand but can be reversed. Follow the hand reversal steps in the manual: remove chassis, rotate the chassis 180°, and reinstall. Verify door width and handing on the carton label before installation.

What is the standard backset for the 9400?

The standard backset is 2 3/4 in (measured from the edge of the door). For paired doors with 9300 rim or 9500 mortise, the backset may be 2 1/2 in or 4 3/16 in, respectively.

Can I cut the touchbar and rail to fit a narrower door?

Yes. The touchbar and rail can be cut to fit smaller door openings. Measure the door opening width, subtract 2 in, and cut from the rear. Use caution with models containing electronics (ES, MS, LM, DWA). For sizes: Size A fits 48 in door (min. 34 in), Size B fits 36 in (min. 28 in), Size C also fits 36 in (min. 25 in).

How do I adjust the top rod if the latch does not fully extend or retract?

Remove the retaining screw and plate, then rotate the top rod clockwise to lengthen or counterclockwise to shorten. Make half-turn adjustments, reinstall the plate, and check for dead lock (bolt cannot be pushed in). Repeat until proper function is achieved.

What power supply is required for the Electric Latch Retraction (ES) option?

The ES option requires the DORMA PS-501 power supply (24 VDC). It can operate up to two 9400 ES devices. For additional devices, an ES2 logic card is needed. Do not use power supplies from other manufacturers.

How do I dog (hold open) the touchbar?

Standard dogging is done with a hex key. Depress the touchbar, insert the hex key, and rotate clockwise to dog (hold open). Rotate counterclockwise to undog. Optional cylinder dogging is available; use the appropriate cam for your cylinder.

What is the difference between the BPA and BPAR alarm options?

Both are battery-powered alarms. The BPA sounds continuously until disarmed. The BPAR sounds for 4 minutes and automatically resets. The alarm mode is set at the factory. To replace batteries, remove the end cap.

Can the 9400 be used on fire-rated doors?

Yes. For fire-rated doors over 8 ft and all fire-rated less bottom rod (LBR) devices, an interlocking strike angle must be installed behind the latch assembly. Use the specified screws and follow the additional instructions.

How do I install the bottom strike for the 9400?

For standard strikes (#416, #431, #340), drill holes for anchors as specified in the manual. For surface strikes, drill two 5/16 in diameter holes (1 in deep). For #431, drill 3/8 in holes (2 in deep) and cut a square cutout (1 15/16 in x 1 5/8 in x 1 in).

What is the maximum door height the 9400 can accommodate?

The standard device fits a 7 ft door opening. An optional 8 ft rod pack is available. For doors over 8 ft up to 10 ft, order the ETR (Extended Top Rod) package. Rods can be cut to custom lengths; do not cut the threaded ends.

HANDING OF DOOR

Read the entire instruction sheet prior to installation. Before Installing Hardware:

1. Verify door width, handing and product with carton label for correct exit device and length. (See Step 7).
2. For hand reversal of chassis see (step 4), for outside lever trim see (step 5).
3. For less bottom rod device, delete bottom latch installation steps.

Note: Less bottom rod device is not recommended where security is a primary concern.

Note: If device is to be installed over glass lite panels, shim kit may be required, order GK9000.

Note: Device shipped standard for 7' high door opening. Optional 8' available. (must be specified when ordering) For doors up to but not over 10' order "ETR" (Extended top rod) package.

Fits 48" door opening without cutting.

Can be cut to fit a 34" minimum door opening.

Size B:

Fits 36" door opening without cutting.

Can be cut to fit a 28" minimum door opening.

Size C:

13 Check for proper function of device and top latch assembly.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with mounting bracket and clamping mechanism (no text or symbols)

Depress touch bar slowly, top latch bolt should retract fully. Hold bar depressed, push in and hold top tripping lever. Latch bolt should be flush or slightly depress in top latch case.

If this is found, release touch bar and tripping lever top latch bolt should remain captured by tripping lever.

Push in on tripping lever and release top latch bolt, bellcrank should drop completely down and top latch should be fully extended and dead locked. (You should not be able to push the bolt in.)

If top bolt does not retract fully or can be pushed in, adjustment of top rod is required: Remove 8-32 screw and retaining plate; rotate rod left (clock-wise) to lengthen, half turns at a time. Re-install retaining plate and screw; check for dead lock after each turn.

14 Install top strike. See spotting templates located in rear of booklet if not already done. Check for proper alignment and operation with top latch after installation.

15 Installation of bottom slide bolt or latch assembly.

NOTE:

If horizontal reference line is moved from the recommended mounting height, new rods may have to be ordered.

If cutting is required "Do Not Cut Threaded End".

Use supplied drill jig and 1/8" drill bit if new hole is required.

Thread bottom rod approximately 1/2 way on to slide bolt assembly.

With bell crank down and top latch fully extended and dead locked.

Insert rod and slide bolt assembly in to bottom latch bracket as shown, rotate rod until hole in rod aligns with hole in bell crank. Insert retaining clip and secure with 8-32 x 1/2" screw.

Check to see that there is approximately 5/8" of bolt hanging down and that bolt moves up and down freely in latch case.

For optional pullman latch: Thread rod approximately 1/2 way on to adjusting bolt, tilt rod upward, rotate rod clock-wise to shorten, counter clock-wise lengthen until hole in rod aligns with hole in bell crank. Bolt should be dead locked when down just as top bolt. Adjust rod until dead lock is achieved.

16 Installation of standard bottom strike. For additional strike installations see templates in rear of booklet.

17

Verification of rod adjustments.

A. Block open door, push inward on tripping lever and release top latch bolt to ensure it is fully extended.

Top latch should be fully extend and dead latched as shown and bell crank should drop completely down.

B.

Check for dead lock by attempting to push downward on top latch bolt (it should not push in). "Only" if it can be pushed in adjust rods per step below.

C. To adjust: Remove 8-32 screw, remove retaining plate, rotate top rod right (counter clock-wise) to shorten and left (clock-wise) to lengthen. Rotate half turns at time, re-install retaining plate and screw after each turn and check for dead lock of top latch bolt.

Flush

D. Depress and hold touch bar. Push in on tripping lever and hold depressed, check position of top latch bolt. It should be flush to slightly depressed in top latch bracket.

E. Release tripping lever and touch bar, top latch should remain in retracted position

Slide bolt clears strike

F. With top latch held retracted by tripping lever, check bottom slide bolt to ensure it clears the strike, threshold, and floor by unblocking and swinging door. If adjustment is required; follow same steps as in step C above for top rod until proper clearance is achieved.

G. Close door and check that top and bottom latch bolts align and engage in top and bottom strikes.

H. After rods are fully adjusted ensure that top and bottom rod retaining plate screws are tight.

I. Check device operation by opening and closing door several times from inside. Check and operate outside trim if installed.

Repeat rod adjustment procedure if:

Top latch is not held retracted Bottom slide bolt does not clear strike or floor. Latches do not work properly with outside trim

J. Install rod guides, end cap, center case and latch covers.

K. Standard hex key dogging, depress touch bar insert supplied hex key and rotate clock wise to dog and counter clock wise to undog.
