15、 Tests For Exit Locks 5.2.1 Normal Exit Test With the door latched, the actuating member shall be depressed by a force not to exceed 15 lbf. (67 N) until the latch clears the strike. The measurement shall be taken at the center and 1.5 in. (38 mm) from each end on the actuating surface perpendicular
16、 to the door in the direction of swing. Portions of the actuating member which are below 30 in. (750 mm) and more than 44 in. (1100 mm) above the floor when installed per the manufacturers templating are exempt from this requirement. Requirements 15 lbf max. (67 N) for all measurement points 5.2.2 C
17、ycle Test Doors shall be opened by pushing on the actuating member. The door shall be required to close and latch by the operation of the door closer except that in the case of a lock with a dead bolt which must be reset before the start of the next cycle. Exit locks shall complete the required numb
18、er of cycles without failure or excessive wear that would impair operation. Requirements 100,000 cycles. At the completion of the test, the exit lock shall meet 5.2.1 and all alarm features shall function as intended 9 5.2.3 Emergency Operation Test Using the setup and procedure in 5.2.1, apply a ho
19、rizontal 250 lbf (1110 N) to the door approximately 3 in. (76 mm) from the latch edge and 40 in. (1020 mm) from the floor in the direction of the door swing. With the door latched, repeat the test in 5.2.1. The actuating paddle shall be depressed by a force not to exceed 50 lbf (220 N) at points as
20、listed in 5.2.1 until the latch clears the strike. Requirements 50 lbf max. (220 N) For all measurement points 5.2.4 Key Cylinder Operation Test Measure the torque to lock and unlock the deadbolt (alarm set) by key from the inside of the door. Also, test the key torque from the outside of the door i
21、f the outside key option is provided with the exit lock. Repeat the operation five times and average the results. The average torque shall not exceed the limits specified. Requirements Maximum: 12 lbf-in (1.36 Nm) 5.2.5 Outside Pull Test A pull force as listed below shall be exerted on the door appr
22、oximately 3 in. (76 mm) from the latch edge and 40 in. (1020 mm) from the floor in an effort to pull the door open. The door shall not open and the device shall function after release of the force. Requirements Pull force: 1200 lbf (5340 N) 5.3 Tests for Alarms 5.3.1 Cycle Test for Alarms Cycle the
23、alarm 1,000 times. A cycle consists of actuating the alarm and resetting the alarm per the intended operation. If battery powered, the batteries are permitted to be replaced during the test as required. Requirements All the alarm features shall function as intended at the end of 1000 cycles. 5.3.2 S
24、lam Test With the alarm mounted on the slam test door fixture, adjust to provide no latching or locking engagement. Use a size 3 overhead door closer with standard arm mounting and all valves fully open. Door closing speed shall be 2.5 seconds or less from 90 degrees open to fully closed with no dec
25、eleration during the closing cycle. Adjust the cycling mechanism to open the door 20 degrees and mechanically cycle the door assembly for 1000 cycles. This test does not apply to alarms mounted on the wall. Requirements 1000 cycles. All the alarm features shall function as intended at the completion
26、 of the test. 10 5.3.3 Immunity Compliance Test Exit Locks with Alarms, and Alarms for Exit Devices shall meet the requirements noted below for ESD immunity and RF immunity.

44、ND FRAMES The provisions of this Standard evaluate locks as a component and do not take under consideration the variety of doors, frames and other components available, some of which are vulnerable under the kinds of attacks described. Select doors, frames and surrounding wall systems compatible wit
45、h the level of lock security selected. A-2 FASTENERS Where lock strikes are applied to wood frames under 1 inch (25.4 mm) thick, screws normally furnished are sometimes inadequate. Specify screws of sufficient length to engage the structural stud behind the frame. A-3 FINISHES See ANSI/BHMA Standard

A-4 CONFORMANCE CRITERIA Certification that products offered meet the requirements of this Standard and conform to individual manufacturers drawings, s
47、pecifications, standards and quality assurance practices are available and in some circumstances are required. Buyer requirements determine the need for proof of conformance such as first article inspection, test laboratory reports, or listings. Specifiers requiring assertions of conformance utilize
48、 statements of conformance by individual manufacturers, or test reports acceptable to the buyer.
