Electric latch retraction with power interrupt

An interrupt assembly for an access control device having an electronic actuator operable to move a locking member between a locking position and an unlocking position, the interrupt assembly comprising:

• a switch operable to selectively electrically connect the electronic actuator with a power supply;
• and
• a manual actuator operable to transition the switch between a first switch state and a second switch state;
• and
• wherein movement of the switch from the first switch state to the second switch state by the manual actuator renders the electronic actuator inoperable to move the locking member.

A retrofit kit for an access control device having an electronic actuator operable to move a locking member between a locking position and an unlocking position, the retrofit kit comprising:

• an interrupt assembly, comprising:
• a switch operable to selectively electrically connect the electronic actuator with a power supply;
• and
• a manual actuator operable to transition the electronic switch between a first switch state and a second switch state;
• and
• wherein movement of the electronic switch from the first switch state to the second switch state by the manual actuator renders the electronic actuator inoperable to move the locking member.

An interrupt assembly for an access control device having an electronic actuator operable to move a locking member between a locking position and an unlocking position, the interrupt assembly comprising:

• a switch operable to selectively electrically connect the electronic actuator with a power supply;
• a manual actuator operable to transition the switch between a first switch state and a second switch state, the manual actuator including a shell, a plug rotatably mounted in the shell, and a tailpiece mounted to the plug;
• and
• an actuating ring configured to rotate between a first position and a second position, the actuating ring comprising:
• an annular portion through a portion of the manual actuator extends;
• at least one lug extending from the annular portion and operable to engage the tailpiece such that rotation of the tailpiece causes a corresponding rotation of the actuating ring;
• and
• an actuating arm extending from the annular portion and operable to actuate the switch such that rotation of the actuating ring between the first position and the second position causes the actuating arm to transition the switch between the first switch state and the second switch state;
• and
• wherein movement of the switch from the first switch state to the second switch state renders the electronic actuator inoperable to move the locking member
