The Exit push button SQTPB601 is a wired exit push button used in access control systems. It’s a device that allows individuals to exit a secured area by signaling the access control system to unlock a door or activate an exit mechanism.

Here’s a breakdown of what that means:

Key Characteristics 🔑

• Wired: Unlike wireless versions, the SQTPB601 requires a physical electrical connection to the access control system. This typically means running wires from the button to the door’s locking mechanism or an access control panel.
• Exit Button/Request to Exit (REX) Device: Its primary function is to provide a simple and reliable way for people inside a secured area to exit without needing credentials (like a key card or code).
• Access Control Integration: It works in conjunction with an access control system (e.g., controlling an electric strike or magnetic lock) to manage who can enter and exit a building or specific area.
• Momentary Action: When pressed, it typically sends a momentary signal to release the lock, and then the circuit returns to its normal state when the button is released.
• Common Applications: You’ll find these buttons in various commercial, industrial, and even residential settings where controlled access is desired, such as offices, warehouses, schools, and apartment buildings. They are crucial for safety, convenience, and compliance with building and fire codes that often require an unimpeded means of egress.

How it Works ⚙️

When a person presses the SQTPB601 exit button:

1. It sends an electrical signal to the connected access control system or directly to the door’s locking mechanism.
2. This signal temporarily disengages the lock (either a fail-safe or fail-secure lock), allowing the door to open.
3. Once the button is released, the circuit returns to its normal state, and the lock re-engages, securing the door again.

Importance in Security Systems 🔐

Exit push buttons like the SQTPB601 are vital components in a comprehensive security system because they:

• Ensure Free Egress: They provide a guaranteed way for people to exit a building, even if the primary access control system fails or in an emergency.
• Enhance Safety: In situations like fires or other emergencies, they allow for quick and unhindered evacuation.
• Meet Compliance Standards: Many building and fire safety codes require a means of manual exit from secured areas.
• User-Friendly: They offer a simple and intuitive way for anyone to exit a controlled space.
