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.
