Alarm Controls RP Series - Push Button Remote Plates - RP-49 One Button Indicating Shunt Switch, “D” Hole for Ace Lock

The RP-49 is a one button indicating shunt switch plate. The button shunts (bypasses) a circuit such as a door alarm or monitoring point, and the built-in indicator shows the state so staff can see whether the shunt is active. It also carries a "D" shaped cutout for an Ace (tubular) lock, so the shunt function can be restricted to keyholders instead of left open to anyone at the door.

The plate is punched with the "D" hole to accept an Ace style tubular key lock. Order the lock cylinder itself as a separate item so you can match the keying to the rest of the building.

The RP-49 is a single-button indicating shunt switch plate with a "D" hole for an Ace lock, on a satin stainless steel plate rated for 12/24 VDC. If the opening only needs visual status and no switching or key cylinder, the ACSI 1340-1 is a single gang wall mount indicator with one LED available in red or green. Choose the RP-49 when someone has to key-shunt the alarm at the door, and the 1340-1 when the wall plate is purely reporting state.

12/24 VDC. That covers the usual low voltage access control and alarm supplies, so it drops onto the same power feeding a maglock, strike or alarm panel without a separate transformer.

Satin stainless steel. That matches the standard satin stainless wall plates and access control stations already common in commercial buildings, and the product is classed for commercial rather than residential use.

Two different jobs. The RP-49 both switches and shows status, with an Ace lock hole so only a keyholder can shunt the alarm, which is what you want at a fire exit or delivery door that gets propped legitimately. If you only need to display a condition and not control it, a straight indicator plate such as the ACSI 1340-1 single gang unit with one red or green LED is the simpler choice.

No. The RP-49 is a single button configuration. The RP Series is built out in several arrangements, including single gang and slimline plates, with or without the lock hole, and different LED sizes and colors, so pick the RP model matching the button count and cutout you need rather than adapting the RP-49.

No. The ACSI 1340-1 is a single gang wall mount indicator carrying one LED in red or green, so it provides indication only. The RP-49 combines indication with a one-button shunt switch and a "D" hole cut for an Ace lock cylinder. Swapping a 1340-1 into an RP-49 location leaves the shunt function and the cylinder prep unaddressed.

The Alarm Controls RP-49 is the one with the key prep: it is a commercial remote plate with a one-button indicating shunt switch and a "D" hole for an Ace lock, operating on 12/24 VDC. The ACSI 1340-1, from the 1340 series, is an indicator plate with a single red or green LED and no cylinder provision, so it is used where the shunt is handled elsewhere in the system.
