Alarm Controls EB-1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an Alarm Controls EB exit button work with my access control panel's inputs?
Contact configuration is the thing to match. The EB stations are ordered with one N/O, one N/C, two N/O, two N/C, or one N/O plus one N/C, all momentary and all rated 10A. Most panels want a dry N/O input for request-to-exit; maglock power interruption usually wants an N/C set. If you need both (panel REX input plus breaking mag power), order the EB-1, which gives you one of each on the same button. Contacts are rated 10A at 35 VDC or 120 VAC, so the button can break lock power directly rather than through an interposing relay.
2) Does the EB button stay latched when pressed, or only while held?
Momentary only. The EB switch is active only as long as the mushroom button is held down and it drops out the instant you release it. If your maglock needs to stay released for a timed period after a single press, you need a timer or a relay module in line with the button, because the station itself has no hold or latch function.
3) What is the difference between the Alarm Controls EB request to exit station and the Dortronics 5215-SPB exit release?
Both are single gang exit release stations. The EB uses a 1-1/2 inch red mushroom button with a momentary action switch on a stainless steel wall plate screened EXIT, and is offered in one N/O, one N/C, one N/O and one N/C, two N/O, or two N/C momentary 10 amp contact configurations. The Dortronics 5215-SPB uses a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button on a single gang plate. If the button shape and a factory illuminated button are what the drawing calls for, the 5215-SPB matches that description; the EB reaches illumination through its 6VDC, 12VDC, 24VDC, and 120VAC illumination options.
4) The Dortronics 5215-SPB has one button style. What if I need a specific contact arrangement or a guarded button?
The Dortronics 5215-SPB is described as a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button exit release on a single gang plate. The Alarm Controls EB station is where the arrangement gets selected: contacts in one N/O, one N/C, one N/O and one N/C, two N/O, or two N/C momentary 10 amp configurations, and an accessories option of a guard ring or a lift up cover for openings where the button needs protection from accidental actuation. If the access control panel needs a second contact pair for a shunt or an alarm input, that is the EB selection to make.
5) Can I use an EB request to exit button on an exterior door or in an unheated parking garage?
Yes. The EB stations are rated from -13F to +158F, which covers unheated garages, vestibules and loading docks in most of the country. The plate is stainless steel. For a station people can bump into, the Guard Ring option keeps the mushroom button from being pressed accidentally, and the Lift Up Cover requires a deliberate two-step action to trip it.
6) How do I get an EB exit station to light up, and what voltage does the lamp take?
Illumination is an ordering option, not standard. The base EB station has no illumination; if you want a lit button, specify L1 for 6VDC, L2 for 12VDC, L3 for 24VDC, or L4 for 120VAC. Match it to whatever supply is already at the door: on a 12V or 24V access control power supply the L2 or L3 is the one to pick so you are not running a second circuit to the box.
7) What is the difference between the EB-2 and EB-3 exit buttons?
Contacts, nothing else. Both are the same 1-1/2 inch red mushroom button on a single gang stainless plate labeled EXIT. The EB-2 gives you two normally open momentary contacts, the EB-3 gives you two normally closed. Two N/O suits a panel that wants a REX signal plus a second dry signal to an alarm shunt; two N/C suits breaking power to two locks, or a lock plus a door alarm, on one press.
8) Is there an illuminated square exit button instead of a round mushroom button?
The EB is a 1-1/2 inch round red mushroom button. If a square face is what the job calls for, the Dortronics 5215-SPB is a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button exit release on a single gang plate. Same single gang footprint either way, so the box work does not change.
9) Is a Dortronics 5215-SPB a drop in replacement for an Alarm Controls EB exit button?
They are both single gang exit release stations, so the box and the opening are the same family of prep, but they are not the same device at the wall. The EB presents a 1-1/2 inch red mushroom button on a stainless steel plate screened EXIT with screw terminal connections and a switch depth of 2-1/2 inches behind the plate; the 5215-SPB presents a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated button. Where the EB is being replaced across a set of doors and the buttons need to look alike, staying within the EB and matching the plate finish option keeps the fleet consistent.
10) Can I get an Alarm Controls EB exit button in a plate that matches the other devices on my wall?
Plate choices run 302 satin stainless steel, standard, red, white, ivory, and 1-3/4 inch red or 1-3/4 inch stainless. In an office corridor where the station sits next to painted device plates, white or ivory disappears into the wall; red is what you use when the button has to be found under stress. The plate is screened EXIT on the standard station.
11) Is the EB exit station rated for commercial use, and are the parts UL listed?
Built for commercial openings, with UL and CSA certified components. That is component certification on the switch and lamp, which is what a specifier is normally checking on a request to exit station feeding an access control system.
