 Door Prop alarm

The EAX-411SK AC powered door prop alarm provides a unique solution to the common security challenge associated with doors that are propped open. Helping to enhance access control systems and provide additional perimeter security, the EAX-411SK provides a custom fit for each opening with its 0 to 60 second adjustable "door open" time.

  • Alarm encourages users to keep door closed
  • Localized alarm notifies area personnel of security breach/door prop condition
  • Helps save on energy costs
  • Reduces false alarms

 

Features:

  • Stand alone device
  • Integrates into any access control system
  • 90dB alarm easily warns of door prop status
  • Adjustable alarm delay time from 0 to 60 seconds

Tech Tip     

 

How to change the Door Prop Times

Note:  The device first needs to be handed  according to installation instruction, then proceed with the following steps. (EAX-300 shown)

Step 1: Remove battery.

Step 2: With both micro switches closed, reconnect the battery. The flashing of the LEDs will indicate the current selection of door prop time (see Table B).

Step 3: Release both switches. The switch on the left (OKC switch) changes the programming. Pushing this switch will change the setting incrementally according to Table B. Once the desired time is selected, wait 15 seconds for the unit to flash the selection three times. The timing has successfully been changed upon hearing the siren chip four times. The new timing is retained in memory even with battery removal.
