V40/50xED

ED

The ED Electric Dogging electrified option is designed for single or pairs of entrance and exit doors with panic or fire exit hardware. When energized, and after a pushpad is depressed, the pushpad and the latch bolt remain retracted, providing push-pull operation. Relocking all devices is accomplished by using a single switch or through a fire alarm input.

V40/50xEE

EE

The EE electrified option, designed for primary and secondary exits, provides a secure 15-second delay and a 100dB alarm when someone attempts to exit. This 15-second delay allows management time to respond before someone exits and the alarm deters the exit from occurring. Per life safety requirements, the EE electrified option must be provided with a fire alarm input, thus providing a system override during a fire emergency. The EE electrified option provides security while meeting all life safety concerns, offering an exceptional value.

v40/50xEHxR

EHxR

The EHxR device option is designed for doors and pairs of doors without mullions that require a hardwired, alarmed panic device with remote signal and bypass. When the alarm sounds a remote signal can be sent to turn on a remote horn, strobe or other security device. The alarm can also be bypassed using a remote button, keypad, card reader or other access control device. The alarm, with approximately 100dB will sound when someone attempts to exit, alerting management that an unauthorized exit has occurred. With electric switching that monitors the pushpad, the EHxR provides a high level of security while also meeting all life safety concerns.

V40xEI

EI

The Electric Integration device, designed for applications where electric integration is required, provides the customer with a means of integration to new or existing systems, including the Detex Series 800 Logic Controller. The customer may select from these components to integrate and create different functions from the single product package. This variety of components offers an alarm to sound, monitor the latch bolt position and/or pushpad when depressed, signals a remote panel by key switch operation when activated from inside or outside authorization, and offers 2 LED's to enhance required functions. The operation of switches will open or close (SPDT) to integrate with digital video recorders, remote alarms, strobe lights, or commence the cycle in a separate delayed egress system.

Tech Tip     

 

When installing most exit devices, proper use of the manufacturer template is very important. Most manufacturers provide a paper template that requires the installer to fold and tape the template to the door, being careful to ensure the template is square to the frame and holes are exactly as measured. Keeping the door closed, while marking the holes can be a challenge, usually requiring the installer to block the door, or ask a Arrow magnets on doorcoworker to hold the door closed. Detex offers this time-saving tip, shared by one of our valued customers. Using a couple of inexpensive, yet heavy duty magnets, the door is held in perfect position, while the installer easily marks the template holes. Spacing the magnets properly is important, usually requiring 2 to 3 magnets to keep the door firmly in place. Heavy duty magnets, similar to those shown in the photos can be purchased at most hardware stores, industrial tool or home improvement chains, welding supply shops and other such outlets. 
WARNING:  Remember to keep magnets away from credit cards, telephones or electronics in general to avoid possible loss of data or damage.

Once the holes have been marked, the door can be opened to apply the necessary pressure to drill holes in the door and frame.

Arrow magnets, BP1, Strike locator etcWhen installing Detex exit devices, this process is made even easier, by using our paperless template, patented mounting plate system.

We hope this tip helps save you time and money during your next hardware installation on a hollow metal door and frame.
