When it comes to Access Control accessories, Securitron has a vast assortment of products.  This quick glossary will help you choose your accessories:

SPST (Single Pole - Single Throw): Switches that have one input and one output (NO or NC) and turn on or off in response to the switch action.

SPDT (Single Pole - Double Throw): Switches with one input and two outputs.  When the switch operation occurs, the connection shifts from output A to output B.

DPST (Double Pole - Single Throw): Two SPST switches that operate in tandem using one switch operation so that two outputs turn on or off simultaneously in reaction to the switch operation.

DPDT (Double Pole - Double Throw): Two SPDT switches that operate in tandem using one switch operation so that each connection shifts simultaneously from its primary output to its secondary output.

Momentary Switch: A momentary switch changes state during activation and reverts to its original state upon deactivation,  A doorbell is a typical example of a momentary switch.  A timer can be used to extend the effect of the switch operation for a specific amount of time.

Alternate Switch: An alternate switch changes state upon activation and does not change back until reactivated.  A light switch is a typical example of an alternate switch.  Alternate switches are also called maintained or latching switches.

NO (Normally Open Contacts): A normally open contact provides an open circuit where no current is flowing in its usual state. Wired in Parallel for Fail Secure type electric locks. (i.e., Electric Strikes) Activating any switch will apply power releasing the lock.

NC (Normally Closed Contacts): A normally closed contact provides a closed circuit where current is flowing in its usual state.  Wired in Series for fail-safe type electric locks (i.e., Securitron Magnalocks) Activating any switch will break power releasing the lock.

Once you know which options you require for your application, you can select your accessory.  For example, if you needed a Single Gang, Tubular Key, SPDT Key Switch, you would choose the KP1 Tubular Keyswitch (manufacturer link).  IF you needed a Narrow Stile, Momentary, SPDT Key Switch you would go with the MKN, which is one of the MK Mortise Key Switches. There are Door Position Switches,  Door Prop Alarms, Maximum Security Switches, Latch Monitors, Relay Logic Packs, Relay Boards, Timers (TM-2, TM-9, DT-7, XDT), Piezo Sounders (PZ1), and Cover Plates.

They come with a battery charger and are UL listed.  You can select from the BPS-12/24-1, BPS, BPSM, and BPSS lines. Within Switching Power Supplies you can choose from the AQD, AQM, and AQU lines.  These are great for use in locks, door closers, strikes, readers, and other access control devices.

When there is an emergency, exit devices are the life savers. Securitron products understand the importance of the code-compliant openings so that an exit from an emergency situation can be done smoothly. The different products are separated by their features. Such as being waterproof is a feature that only the PB and PBA would have. These two products are both single gang, with green and red buttons and illuminated with a DPST. What makes them different is the PB has a momentary feature, while the PBA has an alternate feature. PB2 and PB22 are very similar as well, both are single gang with green, red and blue buttons, both illuminated and momentary, but the PB2 has SPDT and the PB22 has DPDT. Then the PB2E has all the features of the PB2, but it’s not illuminated. There are many different models that are made for many different needs for exit devices.

CSFM 3774-0923:0103

ANSI/UL 294 Listed

Underwriter's Laboratories: File BP7041 (UL 294)

Product Features

The XMS is an exit motion sensor, which is versatile for hands-free exit requests. When approaching the motion sensor, it will reliably detect motion nearby and release the magnetic lock on the door. It's explicitly designed to release that lock from the inside for free egress. The XMS is fail safe, so if power is cut to the detector, the magnetic lock will safely release. A relay is present to send a REX (request to exit) signal to an access control system and shunt an alarm report. Control of the exit detection pattern, which is easily adjustable will allow for maximum security from the outside and avoidance of activation from the inside when not desired. Note that it is recommended to have an emergency exit button to be used in conjunction with the XMS to meet applicable building codes. It’s UL listed and comes with the MagnaCare lifetime replacement, no fault warranty.

Specification Data

This is for indoor use only weighing at 0.5 lbs. It has an input voltage of 12 or 24VDC and a power draw of 20-50mA depending on switching status.

Product Features

EEB is the emergency exit button, which is a backup to ensure safe egress. The exit device is installed next to the door to provide additional safety as required by code when using a motion detector. When pressing the button, it will release the door for 30 seconds. If pressed again during the 30-second lock release period, the unit will “retrigger” which will start a new 30-second lock release period. This is intended only for the release of a magnetic lock from the inside of a door. It operates on 12 or 24 VDC and includes switchable green, red and blue lenses. Note the red and white wires from the EEB2/3N must receive the voltage from the same power supply.

Models

There are several models of the EEB; there is the EEB2 (EEB w/30 Sec. Timer – SG, Green/Red/Handicap), then there is the EEB3N (EEB w/ 30 Sec. Timer – Narrow Stile, Green/Red). Then there are the illumination kit models, with the PB2-LK (Illumination Kit for PB2E, PB5E, EEB2 Series Push Buttons), and lastly the PB3-LK (Illumination Kit, Green/Red for PB3E/EEB3N Series).

The model PB2 is a spring loaded momentary exit button, which is mounted on a stainless steel box cover. Included are switchable lenses that come in green, red and blue. While the PB series had a medium round button, the PB2 comes with a large square with easy to read text. It comes with different options, to be illuminated, single or double pole, and a red LED on the plate. The most common applications for this exit device are release of a fail-safe or secure electric lock. The other most common use is a timed release of a fail-safe electric lock using the PB2’s TimeMate. To make this weatherproof, the WCC and WBB are available for all push buttons, key switches, and keypads.

Models
