Alarm Controls RP Series - Push Button Remote Plates - RP44, RP4, RP46, RP47, RP48 With Indicating Shunt Switch

Button count is the only thing separating them. The RP-44 carries one button, the RP-45 two, the RP-46 three, the RP-47 four, and the RP-48 six, and every one of them is an indicating shunt switch plate. Count the functions you need to shunt or release at that station (door release, alarm shunt, aux) and order the plate with that many buttons rather than ganging two plates side by side.

They do different jobs at the door. The ACSI 1340-1 is an indicator: a single gang wall mount plate carrying one LED, red or green. The RP-44 is a one button plate with an indicating shunt switch, so it both actuates and shows state. If the opening needs someone to press something, the 1340-1 will not do it; if all that is wanted at that wall box is a lit status point, the 1340-1 covers it with a single gang plate.

It is the wall station that lets authorized staff take a door out of alarm before opening it. Press the button and the switch shunts the alarm contact on that opening, with the indication built into the plate telling you the shunt is active, so a delivery door or stair door can be opened without tripping the system. The RP Series covers this from one button up to six on a single plate, so one station can shunt several doors.

A plain indicator is a different part. The RP-44 through RP-48 all include push buttons with an indicating shunt switch, so if nobody is meant to press anything you are buying more than the job needs. The ACSI 1340-1 from the 1340 Series is a single gang wall mount indicator with one LED, available red or green, which is the straight indicator-only option.

Yes. The RP Series is built in both single gang and slimline plate formats, so where there is no room for a standard single gang box next to the opening (a narrow aluminum stile or a hollow metal frame face) the slimline plate is the one to call out. Single gang and slimline are separate plate widths, so specify which one your box or frame cutout takes when you order.

Use the ACSI 1340-1, which is a single gang wall mount indicator with one LED available in red or green. It carries the indication without the switching. The Alarm Controls RP series plates pair a button count with an indicating shunt switch, running from one button on the RP-44 up to six on the RP-48, so they are the choice when the same plate has to actuate as well as indicate.

Satin stainless steel, on every model in the RP Series from the one-button RP-44 through the six-button RP-48. If your other openings already have brushed stainless wall plates and switch trim, these match without a special order, and there is no second finish choice to specify when you place the order.

LED size and color options are offered across the RP Series, along with illuminated and LED variations of the plate itself. If you are standardizing a facility (green for released, red for secure, for instance) call the LED color out on the order, because the plate model number alone (RP-44, RP-46 and so on) only sets the button count.

Both mount to a single gang opening, so the wall box work is the same and the two sit in the same footprint down a corridor. The Alarm Controls RP plates are furnished in a satin stainless steel finish. Where the plates differ visually is content: the 1340-1 face carries one LED in red or green, while the RP plates carry buttons - one on the RP-44, two on the RP-45, three on the RP-46 - alongside the indicating shunt switch.
