Overview:
This device combines a panic exit mechanism with a built-in alarm system, providing both quick egress in emergencies and security monitoring to prevent unauthorized exits. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, it offers durability, corrosion resistance, and a modern appearance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Key Features:
- Material: Brushed or polished stainless steel (typically 304 or 316 grade), offering excellent resistance to rust, wear, and impact.
- Alarm System: Integrated audible alarm (typically 85–100 dB) activates when the bar is depressed, alerting personnel to unauthorized use or emergency exit. Battery-powered or hardwired options available.
- Panic Function: Complies with ANSI/BHMA and UL standards for panic hardware; allows for fast, one-handed operation in emergencies.
- Locking Mechanism: May include dogging feature to hold the latch retracted during high-traffic periods (often disabled when alarmed).
- Power Options: Battery-powered (usually 9V or AA) or hardwired; some models include low battery indicators.
- Visual Indicators: LED or mechanical indicators for alarm status (armed/disarmed).
- Reset Mechanism: Alarm can be reset using a key, hex wrench, or control switch, depending on model.
