LiftMaster LM21XPBB Fire Door Release Operator System
The LiftMaster LM21XPBB Fire Door Release Device provides the functionality of a standalone fire alarm system, including battery backup for facilities prone to power outages or installations where the existing fire alarm system is unable to support a fire door release system.
The LM21XPBB includes an integrated Battery Backup Module that allows this fire door release device to stand alone from the fire alarm system and act independently in the event of a power outage. This system can provide 24VDC power for up to 4 smoke detectors and 2 horn/strobe alarms, mounted on either side of the door.
LiftMaster LM21AFCB Fire Door Release Operator Features:
The LM21XPBB system comes with standard programmable delay settings, close door detection, diagnostic LEDs, localized testing, and reset capabilities:

LiftMaster LM21XP Fire Door Release Operator
The LiftMaster LM21XP Fire Door Release Device, in conjunction with a fire alarm panel, provides a fail-safe release mechanism for your fire door or shutter.
