Exit push button ALKPB2015
The ALKPB2015 is a wired exit push button commonly used in access control systems for doors and gates.
Here's a breakdown of what it is and how it functions:
- Purpose: Its primary function is to trigger the release of an electric door lock or gate operator, allowing for a quick and controlled exit from a secured area. It's often referred to as a "request to exit" (REX) device.
- Wired Connection: As the name suggests, it's physically connected to the building's electrical system and the door's locking mechanism.
- Momentary Activation: When pressed, the button momentarily completes an electrical circuit, sending a signal to the lock release.
- Door Release: This signal typically causes an electric strike or magnetic lock to disengage, allowing the door to be opened.
- Automatic Relock: Once the button is released, the lock re-engages, securing the door again.
- Common Applications:
- Access Control Systems: Used in conjunction with card readers, keypads, or other entry systems to provide a convenient exit method.
- ADA Compliance: Often designed with features like large, accessible buttons for ease of use by individuals with disabilities.
- Emergency Egress: Crucial for fire safety and other emergencies, providing a reliable way to quickly exit a secured space.
- Security: While providing an exit, it doesn't compromise overall security for entry, as a separate access control system is typically required for entry.
- Features (typical for this type of button):
- Wired connection
- Momentary switch
- NO/NC/COM contacts (Normally Open/Normally Closed/Common) for versatile wiring with different lock types.
- Designed for indoor use (though some exit buttons may have weather-resistant options).
- Often made with durable materials like stainless steel.
Essentially, the ALKPB2015 acts as a simple, reliable switch to facilitate exiting a secured area without needing credentials.
