While servicing exit devices with wired slide-in alarm kits, it's necessary to keep the wires connected; but you'll sometimes find that you don't have enough hands to hold the electronics, tools, a phone, a flashlight, etc.
One solution is to flip over the slide-in filler alarm kit and let the exit device hold the filler plate (see image above). This lets you service the electronics with both hands without fear of dropping and damaging the unit.
We hope you find this tip helpful for your next service call involving alarmed exit devices. |
