ACSI 1340-3 High security audible alarm, single gang, wall mount

The 1340-3 is an audible alarm indicator, part of ACSI's 1340 Series of indicators that give visual or audible indication of system status. It is not a lock, a reader, or a release button - it is the annunciator that tells staff a door is held, forced, or that a request has been made. It mounts in a single gang wall box.

Yes. The 1340-3 is built as a single gang wall mount unit, so it drops into a standard single gang box with a single gang plate opening. That makes it a straight fit alongside other single gang access control plates in the same run of boxes.

Yes. The 1340-3 is sold as a replacement part, so a facility with a dead audible indicator can swap just the buzzer plate in the existing single gang box and leave the rest of the access control wiring in place.

The Alarm Controls TS-41 is the nearest match. It is a Sonalert mounted wall buzzer in a single gang configuration, the same single gang wall mount format as the ACSI 1340-3 high security audible alarm, so it drops into the same single gang box and covers the same job of giving an audible indication of door or system status. Both are commercial access control accessories rather than a controller, so whichever you choose the door hardware and power supply behind it stay the same.

Two different jobs. The ACSI 1340-3 is the audible version, so it is the one to use where staff are not looking at the door - a back corridor, a stockroom, a loading entrance where a sound is what gets attention. The 1340 Series also covers visual indication for positions where noise is a problem, such as a patient floor or a library desk, and where someone is already watching the station. Pick audible when the alarm has to travel, visual when it has to stay quiet.

1340-3 is the complete model designation and it is the only configuration in that part number, so there is nothing further to specify on the order form. For a facility standardizing across several openings, order the same 1340-3 for each position and every buzzer in the building behaves the same way.

Match the box first. The Alarm Controls TS-41 is specified as a single gang unit, so it lines up with the ACSI 1340-3, which is a single gang wall mount audible alarm. The TS-34 is a mounted wall buzzer in its own TS-34 series and is the one to look at when the opening is not being held to a single gang plate. Both Alarm Controls units are wall buzzers doing the same audible signalling work as the ACSI 1340 series indicators.

No. The Alarm Controls TS-34 and TS-41 are wall buzzers, which is audible output only. The ACSI 1340 series is a family of indicators that provide visual or audible indication of system status, and the 1340-3 is the audible member of it. If your sequence needs a lamp as well as a tone, the TS series buzzers are an audible-for-audible swap, not a replacement for a visual indicator.

Commercial. The 1340-3 is catalogued by ACSI as a commercial electronic access control device, which is why it is specified for offices, schools, healthcare corridors and multi-family common doors rather than home use.
