Toggle credentials are used with the classroom function instead of an inside button on the lock to ensure only authorized persons can put the door in an unlocked state. 3)What is Office Function (50)?A lock in the Office configuration unlocks when a credential is presented and then automatically locks after a set amount of time has passed. You can adjust the amount of time from a few seconds to a few minutes.
To keep the door unlocked, push the button on the inside. The button itself will momentarily illuminate green. To return the lock to the locked state, push the button again or present a credential on the outside. The button will momentarily illuminate red.
Note: The Mortise Deadbolt chassis is not available in the Office function. Locking function capabilities are determined by your access control system. 4)What is Privacy Function (40)?To initiate the Privacy function, push the button on the inside of the door. The button will momentarily illuminate red. This prevents normal credentials from opening the door from the outside.
The lock will go back to its normal state when the button is pushed again or when the door position switch indicates that the door has opened.
When using a Mortise Deadbolt chassis, throwing the deadbolt from the inside lights a red LED on the inside trim. This prevents normal credentials from opening the door from the outside. The lock can always be opened using a management level credential in case of emergency.
Note: Locking function capabilities are determined by your access control system. 5)What is Apartment Function (60)?While the apartment function lock is normally locked, it never relocks automatically which prevents users from being locked out.
To unlock the door: From the outside, present a credential. From the inside, push the inside button. If using the MD chassis, withdraw the deadbolt. The button will momentarily illuminate green. From the inside you can always exit. When you turn the lever and open the door, the lock uses the request-to-exit switch in conjunction with the door position switch to cause the door to return to its unlocked condition.
To lock the door: From the outside, present a credential. From the inside, push the inside button or if using the MD chassis, throw the deadbolt. The button will momentarily illuminate red.
Note: Locking function capabilities are determined by your access control system. 6)What functions are available for each class and chassis?
Note: Locking function capabilities of networked locks are determined by your access control system.  7)For offline AD-200 & AD-250 locks, what functions require a door position switch to be installed?The door position switch is required for the privacy and apartment function. Door position switches will be provided with all AD-Series locks. While they are not required for classroom/storeroom or office functions, they are recommended for those sites that may upgrade to a networked system in the future and want to monitor the door.

AD-Series | Features and Functions | Mechanical/ Chassis1)The AD Pricebook and AD-993 Data sheet has a note that says the concealed vertical rod product is for metal doors only. Why is that?
The VD 98/99 CVR on a wood has the vertical rod off center of the lock, closer to the door edge to simplify door OEM prep (routing edge) for rod by door mfg. Unfortunately this offset rod location prevents the installation of AD-series prep. (Thru bolts for lock are perpendicular to vertical rod for device). Please note that the VD 98/99 CVR device utilized on hollow metal doors is different, in that the concealed vertical rod is center-lined with the exit trim, and therefore is compatible with the AD-Series. 2)What chassis options are available on the AD-Series?
The following chassis options are available for the AD-Series:
- Cylindrical
- Mortise with 1” Deadbolt
- Mortise
- Exit Trims
Note: Additional information on exit device compatibility can be found under Compatibility. 3)What configurations are exit device chassis available in?
Exit device chassis are available in the following three configurations:
- 993R for Rim and Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Devices
- 993S for Surface Vertical Rod Exit Devices
- 993M for Mortise Lock Exit Devices
Note: Click here to see details about exit device compatibility. 4)What is the door thickness range that can be accommodated by the AD-Series?The minimum door thickness is 1-3/8" and the maximum door thickness is 2-3/4". The standard door thickness is 1-3/4". 5)Do you have to order the AD-Series handed or is it field reversible?The AD-Series is field reversible, however it is recommended that you order it handed. 6)Can the mortise 1” deadbolt be thrown from the exterior?No, the deadbolt can only be thrown from the interior side of the door to provide additional security to individuals on the inside. 7)Can the mortise 1” deadbolt be unlocked from the exterior?Yes, the deadbolt is interconnected with the mortise latch. When unlocked, rotation of the exterior lever withdraws both the mortise latch and deadbolt simultaneously. This also occurs when rotating the interior lever for egress. 8)Can the mortise 1” deadbolt be locked from the exterior?
No. The Mortise 1" deadbolt cannot be thrown/extended from the exterior. Ingersoll-Rand plc 170/175 Lakeview Drive, Airside Business Park, Swords, Co.

AD-Series | Features and Functions | Power1)What power options are available on the AD-Series?
The AD-Series can be hardwired or powered by batteries. Hardwired (12 VDC or 24 VDC) power is standard on the AD-300. The 4AA battery kit is standard for the AD-200, AD-250, and AD-400. An 8AA battery kit is also available for extended battery life. 2)Do the AD-Series 200/250/400 have the option to be hard-powered?
Yes, the AD-200, AD-250, and AD-400 can be hard-powered (12 VDC or 24 VDC). 3)How should the AD-300 be powered?
The AD-300 is a hardwired lock and should not be powered by batteries. It should be hard-powered (12 VDC or 24VDC). 4)What is the default battery option?
The default battery option is the 4AA battery kit. An 8AA battery kit is also available for extended battery life. 5)What type of batteries does the AD-Series require? The AD-Series uses standard, off the shelf 1.5 volt AA alkaline batteries. 6)Can lithium batteries be used on the AD-Series locks?Batteries must be alkaline not lithium. 7)What is the expected battery life?The expected battery life for an AD-Series device with 4AA batteries is 2 years with an average annual usage of 36,500 cycles for a proximity plus keypad reader with wireless communication module. Battery life varies depending on conditions and configuration of the lock. 8)How will I know when my battery is getting low?The battery status can be viewed via the HHD when connected to the lock. The battery status can also be communicated remotely from an AD-400 if the incremental RSI commands are integrated to the access control software. Lastly, the lock will go into nuisance mode for 500 cycles to warn the user that batteries are low. 9)What is nuisance mode?When a lock is in nuisance mode, the Schlage button will flash red for 4 seconds when a credential is presented. This occurs for 500 cycles to warn users that batteries are low. After 500 cycles the lock will go into critical battery mode. In critical battery mode the lock stops accepting credentials and flashes red. The lock can only be opened using a mechanical key. 10)Why is the power draw of 250 mA max so much lower on the AD-300 compared to VIP? The AD-300 utilizes a lower power motor in place of a solenoid, among other items that make it more power efficient. 11)Once installed, can the AD-Series locks be upgraded from 4AA to 8AA batteries?
Yes an 8AA battery holder kit is available. Ingersoll-Rand plc 170/175 Lakeview Drive, Airside Business Park, Swords, Co.
