Claim 6:
7. A retrofit kit for an exit device comprising a mounting assembly, a drive assembly, and a latchbolt assembly, wherein the mounting assembly includes a channel member, a header plate, and a header bracket mounted to the header plate, wherein the drive assembly is movably mounted to the mounting assembly and includes a pushbar and a drive bar operatively connected with the pushbar, and wherein the latchbolt assembly is operatively connected with the drive assembly and includes a latchbolt movably mounted to the header bracket, and a retractor pivotally connected with the latchbolt for movement therewith, the retractor including an extension extending through an opening of the header bracket, the retrofit comprising:
a control assembly comprising a housing assembly and a controller mounted to the housing assembly, and wherein the housing assembly is mounted to the channel member such that the drive bar is positioned between the housing assembly and the retractor;
a header sensor assembly comprising a base plate and a latchbolt sensor mounted to the base plate, wherein the base plate is mounted to the header bracket, and the latchbolt sensor is aligned with the extension such that the retractor causes the latchbolt sensor to transition states in response to movement of the latchbolt between a latchbolt-extended position and a latchbolt-retracted position; and
a wire management assembly comprising a first plurality of wires, wherein the first plurality of wires is electrically connected with the control assembly and the header sensor assembly such that the latchbolt sensor is in communication with the controller via the first plurality of wires, and wherein at least a portion of the wire management assembly is positioned in the channel member.
