Alarm Controls MP-26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the Alarm Controls MP-26 and MP-26A push button plates?
Both are red momentary push buttons with a guard ring on a mini chrome plate. The MP-26 is normally open, so it closes the circuit when pressed, which is what you want for a request to exit or door release input. The MP-26A is normally closed, so pressing it breaks the circuit, which suits alarm shunt or interlock wiring. Order by contact action, not by looks, since the plates are identical from the outside.
2) Can I switch a maglock directly with an Alarm Controls MP-26 button?
Check your load first. The MP-26 contacts are rated .75A at 125 VDC, which handles low current release and control inputs. A typical maglock draws well under that at 12 or 24 VDC, but if you are switching a heavier load or multiple locks, run the button into a relay instead of breaking lock power at the plate. The MP-44 indicating shunt switch is the higher rated device in the family at 2A at 28 VDC.
3) I need a mini plate for a keyswitch, not a button. Does the Alarm Controls MP Series cover that?
Two models are cut for key operation. The MP-20 comes with a "D" hole for a standard keyswitch, so you supply the switch. The MP-21 is drilled as a keyswitch wall plate for a Medeco lock. Neither includes the cylinder or switch itself, so order the key device separately.
4) I need a green status LED but the box is cut for a standard single gang plate. What should I use instead of the MP-29?
The MP-29 is a green LED mini plate on the 1-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch chrome plated brass body, so it will not fill a single gang opening on its own. For a single gang wall mount box, the ACSI 1340-1 is a single gang indicator carrying one LED available in red or green. If the mini footprint is acceptable and you want a more visible lamp, the MP-29L carries a larger 1/2 inch green LED on the same mini plate, running on 12 or 24 VDC.
5) Can an ACSI 1340-1 replace an Alarm Controls MP-26 push button plate?
No. The 1340-1 is an indicator only, a single gang wall mount plate with one LED in red or green, so it reports status and does not switch anything. The MP-26 is a normally open momentary push button with a guard ring and contacts rated .75A at 125 VDC, used to actuate a release. If you need the button, stay with the MP-26, or the MP-26A for a normally closed momentary version. A 1340-1 would only be a match for the LED models such as the MP-28 or MP-29.
6) What voltage do the Alarm Controls MP LED plates run on, and how much current do they pull?
The MP LED plates operate on 12 or 24 VDC. Draw is 8mA at 12VDC and 12mA at 24VDC, so a handful of them barely touch the budget on an access control power supply. They ship with flying leads, red and black, 6 inches long.
7) Which Alarm Controls MP LED plate should I use if the indicator needs to be seen from across a lobby?
Go with the large 1/2 inch LED versions: MP-28L in red or MP-29L in green. The standard MP-28 uses a 1/4 inch red LED and MP-29 is the green equivalent, which is fine at close range on a door frame but small from a distance. All four run on 12 or 24 VDC, so the choice is purely about lens size and color.
8) What does the Alarm Controls MP-44 do, and when would I use it instead of a plain push button?
The MP-44 is an FA-200 indicating shunt switch on the mini plate. You use it where a door contact needs to be shunted, say for authorized entry or delivery access, and where someone needs to see that the shunt is active. Its contacts are rated 2A at 28 VDC, higher than the .75A at 125 VDC on the MP-26 button. A plain MP-26 just makes a momentary contact with no indication.
9) Is there an alternative to the Alarm Controls MP LED plate if I need a single gang indicator instead of a mini plate?
The ACSI 1340-1 from the 1340 Series is a single gang wall mount indicator with one LED, available in red or green. Choose it when you are covering an existing single gang box; the MP mini plates are 1-1/4 by 2-1/4 inches and will not span that opening.
10) What finish are the Alarm Controls MP mini plates, and will they hold up in a commercial entry?
The plates are polished chrome plated brass, listed as a chrome plated finish, and the series is rated for commercial use. Brass under chrome is the usual choice for high touch entry hardware because it takes handling better than a stamped plastic cover. There is one finish in the line, so all nine models match each other on a bank of doors.
11) Do the Alarm Controls MP push buttons come pre-wired?
The buttons and LEDs come with red and black leads 6 inches long, so you are splicing to your field wiring rather than landing on screw terminals at the plate. Keep your back box or frame cavity deep enough for those pigtails and a wire nut or crimp. Mounting screws are in the box.
