Alarm Controls TS-14 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Alarm Controls TS-14 request to exit station need its own power supply to work?
No separate power is needed for the TS-14 to operate. The pneumatic time delay is mechanical, so pressing the mushroom button starts the timing without any external power feeding the station itself. You still run your lock power through the contacts, but the timer itself doesn't draw from your supply. That makes it a straightforward retrofit where there's no spare output on the access control panel.
2) How long does the TS-14 push to exit button hold the door unlocked, and can I change the time?
The pneumatic delay on the TS-14 is field adjustable from 2 to 60 seconds, and repeatability is within plus or minus 10 percent. Press the mushroom button, the door stays unlocked for whatever you've set, then relocks when the relay time expires. If you need a long hold for a loading door or an accessible entrance, set it toward the 60 second end; for a normal egress push, a few seconds is typical.
3) Will the TS-14 exit button fit in a standard single gang electrical box?
The standard TS-14 is built on a single gang wall plate, so it lands on a normal single gang box. Watch the depth: the switch projects 2-1/4 inches behind the plate, so a shallow box or a stud-cavity obstruction will fight you. In a mullion or narrow frame where a single gang plate won't sit flat, order the TS-14N instead, which puts the same switch on a narrow 1-3/4 inch plate.
4) What's the difference between the TS-14 and the TS-14N narrow plate version?
Same 1-1/2 inch green mushroom button and same pneumatic timer on both. The difference is the mounting plate: the standard TS-14 uses a single gang plate in 430 stainless, and the TS-14N uses a narrow 1-3/4 inch plate in 302 stainless. Pick the narrow one when you're mounting on a door frame, a glass storefront mullion, or anywhere a single gang plate is too wide to sit flat.
5) Can I use an Alarm Controls TS-14 exit button outdoors or in an unheated garage?
For anything exposed, order the TS-14302, which puts the switch on a weather resistant plate in 302 stainless steel; there's also a TS-14R302 if you want the red button on that weather resistant plate. Operating range on the switch is 15 to 120 degrees F (-9 to 49 C), so an unheated parking garage in a hard freeze climate can drop below what it's rated for. A lift up cover is available as an accessory on the weather resistant models if you want the button shielded from rain and hose-down.
6) What is the difference between the Alarm Controls TS-14 exit station and the Dortronics 5215-SPB?
Both are single gang exit release stations, but the button and the timing differ. The TS-14 uses a 1-1/2 inch mushroom push button and carries a built-in pneumatic time delay that holds the door unlocked and then relocks when the delay expires, and it does not require external power to operate. The Dortronics 5215-SPB Series exit release uses a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button on a single gang plate; an illuminated button needs power fed to it for the lamp. If the opening needs a hold-open interval built into the station itself, the TS-14 provides it; if the requirement is a lit button that stays visible on a dark corridor wall, the 5215-SPB is the one shaped for that.
7) I need a request to exit button for an exterior door. Which one should I use?
For an exterior opening, order the TS-14302, which is the TS-14 with a weather resistant 302 stainless steel plate, or the TS-14R302 for the same weather resistant plate with a red push button. Both can be ordered with a guard ring or a lift up cover over the button. The Dortronics 5215-SPB Series exit release is built on a single gang plate with a square illuminated push button and is not offered here in a weather resistant plate variation, so for outdoor placement the 302 stainless versions of the TS-14 are the ones to specify.
8) The mullion or narrow frame will not take a standard single gang plate. What is the alternative?
Order the TS-14N, which mounts the same 1-1/2 inch green mushroom button and pneumatic time delay on a narrow 1-3/4 inch wall plate with a 302 stainless steel finish, or the TS-14NR for the narrow plate with a red button. Both are available with a guard ring or a lift up cover. The Dortronics 5215-SPB Series exit release is a single gang plate station, so it does not address a narrow frame; the narrow plate TS-14 versions are the ones that fit that condition.
9) Which exit station works if I do not have a power supply at the button location?
The TS-14 does not require external power for operation. Its time delay is pneumatic, so the hold interval, adjustable from 2 to 60 seconds and repeatable within plus or minus 10 percent, comes from the mechanism in the switch rather than from a board that has to be fed. It provides one normally open and one normally closed contact pair rated 10A at 120 VDC for the lock circuit. The Dortronics 5215-SPB Series uses an illuminated push button, and an illuminated operator has a lamp that must be supplied. Where there is no source at the box, the TS-14 is the station that still works.
10) Should I order the green or the red mushroom button on the TS-14 exit station?
Green is the standard TS-14, and it's the usual choice for a normal request to exit at an access controlled door. Red is available as the TS-14R on the single gang plate, or TS-14NR on the narrow plate, and gets used where the button reads as an emergency or life-safety release and needs to stand out. Either way the plate is screened PUSH TO EXIT, so the instruction is the same.
11) How do I stop people from leaning on or accidentally hitting the exit button in a corridor?
Two accessories are offered on every TS-14 model: a guard ring, which sits proud of the 1-1/2 inch mushroom button so a shoulder or a cart can't press it, and a lift up cover, which requires a deliberate two-step action to reach the button. Guard rings are the common pick in tight corridors and behind doors; the lift up cover is what you want where nuisance presses are a real problem or the station is outdoors.
12) What's the difference between a timed mushroom button like the TS-14 and a plain momentary exit push button?
A plain exit push button releases the lock only while it's held or for the instant it's pressed, which is fine for a single person walking out. The TS-14 holds the release for an adjustable 2 to 60 seconds off its pneumatic timer, so it suits doors where people are carrying carts, moving equipment, or a group is passing through. If you want a straight momentary release without a timer, the Dortronics 5215-SPB in the 5215 Series is a 1-1/2 inch illuminated square push button on a single gang plate. The illuminated square face is also worth a look if you want the button visible in a dim corridor.
13) Can I swap a TS-14 into an existing exit button location without rewiring?
If the existing station is on a single gang box and your lock power runs through a dry contact, the TS-14 drops in on the same box using its N/O and N/C pigtails. Check depth first, since the switch needs 2-1/4 inches behind the plate. Where the old station was on a narrow frame plate rather than a gang box, order the TS-14N or TS-14NR so the plate covers the same footprint.
14) Will a square illuminated exit button drop into the same opening as a mushroom button station?
Both sit on a single gang wall plate, so the wall box work is the same class of opening: the TS-14 is mounted on a single gang plate and the Dortronics 5215-SPB Series is likewise a single gang plate station. What changes is the operator and what feeds it. The TS-14 carries a 1-1/2 inch mushroom button with a pneumatic time delay adjustable from 2 to 60 seconds and needs no external power for operation, while the 5215-SPB uses a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated button whose lamp has to be fed. Swapping one for the other on an existing opening means accounting for that supply, not for a different plate size.
15) Is a square exit release button an acceptable substitute for a mushroom button station?
They are not the same operator. A mushroom button stands proud of the plate and is struck with a palm or forearm, which is why the TS-14 uses a 1-1/2 inch mushroom button with the plate screened PUSH TO EXIT. The Dortronics 5215-SPB Series uses a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button, a flush style operator read visually and pressed with a finger. If a facility standard calls for a palm-struck mushroom across its egress openings, the square button station will not match it even though both are 1-1/2 inch buttons on a single gang plate.
16) Will the TS-14 exit button match the stainless plates already on my other doors?
The TS-14 plate is satin stainless steel, so it reads the same as the brushed stainless switch plates and pull hardware common in commercial corridors. Alloy differs by model: the standard single gang plate is 430 stainless, while the narrow TS-14N and the weather resistant TS-14302 plates are 302. Visually they sit together; 302 is the one used on the outdoor plate.
