Alarm Controls System Accessories - WP Weatherproof Remote Plate, Red/Green LEDs, 12/24VDC

The lock cutout is the only difference. The WP-4 has a 3/4 inch "D" hole for an Ace lock; the WP-6 has a double "D" hole for a Medeco lock. Both are the same weatherproof remote station with the hinged self-closing cover and red/green LEDs. Pick the one that matches the key switch cylinder you are installing.

Yes. It is a weather-proof remote station, and the hinged cover is self-closing so it falls shut over the switch opening after use. That is what makes it suitable for an exterior wall, gate pedestal, or loading dock where an indoor station would not survive.

Either works. The 1/4 inch red and green LEDs operate on 12 or 24 VDC, drawing 8mA at 12VDC and 12mA at 24VDC. That draw is small enough to run off the auxiliary output of a typical access control supply alongside other devices.

No. The plate is supplied with the LEDs and the machined lock hole only, so you order the Ace or Medeco cylinder key switch separately to match the hole you chose. The WP-4 is cut 3/4 inch "D" for Ace, the WP-6 double "D" for Medeco.

Six inch red and black leads come off the LEDs, so plan on splicing to your run inside the back box rather than pulling your field wire directly to the plate. Red is the positive side of each LED, black the common return.

It is a remote monitoring station: the green LED shows the door or gate is released or in an authorized state, the red shows it secure or locked, so staff can read door status from outside the room the controller is in. Paired with the lock cylinder switch in the same plate, one device gives you both the status indication and the key-operated release.

Yes, it is a commercial-duty device, intended for access control openings in commercial buildings rather than residential use. Common placements are exterior man doors, vehicle gates, and parking structure entries where the station has to take weather.
