Alarm Controls TS-15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the Alarm Controls TS-15 and TS-16 request to exit stations?
Both are the same pneumatic push button exit station; the difference is the plate. The TS-15 mounts the switch on a narrow 1-3/4 inch wall plate in 302 stainless steel, which is what you want on an aluminum storefront or narrow stile door frame. The TS-16 uses a standard single gang wall plate in 430 stainless steel for a normal electrical box in drywall or block. Same 5/16 inch button with guard ring, same "PUSH TO EXIT" screening, same pneumatic delay.
2) How long does the TS-15 exit push button hold the door unlocked, and is the time adjustable?
The pneumatic timer is field adjustable from 2 to 60 seconds, so you set how long the lock stays released after someone pushes the button. Repeatability is plus or minus 10 percent, and the timer is rated for up to 1 million operations. Once the time expires the relay drops and the door relocks.
3) Does the Alarm Controls TS-15 push button need its own power supply?
No. The timing is pneumatic, not electronic, so the button needs no external power to run the delay. You only run your lock circuit through the contacts. That makes it a straightforward swap where you have no spare power at the button location, and it keeps working during a power interruption on the low voltage side.
4) Can I wire the TS-16 exit station to both a maglock and a separate alarm shunt?
Yes. The switch has two isolated sets of contacts, one normally open and one normally closed. Use the N/C set to break power to a maglock and the N/O set to shunt an alarm or trigger an auto operator, and because they are isolated the two circuits stay independent. Contacts are rated 10A at 120 VDC. Leads are 10 inch colored pigtails.
5) How deep does the box need to be behind the plate for a TS-15 exit button?
Allow 1-1/4 inches of clearance behind the plate for the switch body. That is the only depth dimension you have to plan for, so a standard single gang box or a narrow stile mullion cutout with that much room will take it.
6) Is the Alarm Controls TS-15 request to exit station UL listed?
Yes, it is UL 294 listed, which is the access control system units standard. That matters if you are specifying egress hardware for a commercial building where the authority having jurisdiction wants listed components on an access controlled door.
7) What is the difference between the Alarm Controls TS-15 and the Dortronics 5215-SPB exit release button?
Both are single gang push button exit stations, but they work differently. The TS-15 uses a 5/16 inch diameter push button with a guard ring and a pneumatic time delay adjustable from 2 to 60 seconds, so the door stays unlocked for a set interval and relocks when the time expires, and it does not require external power to operate. The Dortronics 5215-SPB uses a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button on a single gang plate, so the button face is larger and lit. If the opening needs a timed unlock interval built into the button itself, the TS-15 or TS-16 covers it; if the requirement is a large illuminated actuator, the 5215-SPB is the one that matches.
8) I need an exit button for a narrow aluminum stile - is the Dortronics 5215-SPB an option?
The Dortronics 5215-SPB is built on a single gang plate with a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated button, which is sized for a standard single gang box rather than a narrow stile. For a narrow aluminum stile, the TS-15 is the configuration to use: its switch is mounted on a narrow 1-3/4 inch wall plate in a 302 stainless steel finish. The TS-16 in the same family uses a single gang wall plate with a 430 stainless steel finish for standard box mounting.
9) Does the Dortronics 5215-SPB give me the same timed relock as the Alarm Controls TS-15?
The timed relock is the defining feature of the TS-15 and TS-16: a pneumatic push button timer adjustable from 2 to 60 seconds, repeatable within plus or minus 10 percent, holding the door unlocked and relocking when the relay time expires, with no external power needed for the timing function. The Dortronics 5215-SPB is described as an exit release with a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button on a single gang plate. If the sequence of operation on the drawing calls for an adjustable unlock interval at the button, specify the TS-15 or TS-16.
10) Can the Alarm Controls TS-15 exit button be mounted outdoors or in an unheated garage?
Operating range is +15 to 120 F (-9 to 49 C), so an unheated parking garage or a covered exterior location in a mild climate is within spec. For wet or exposed locations order the weather protected version, which is offered on both the TS-15 and the TS-16. Below 15 F the unit is outside its rated range.
11) What do I have to choose when ordering the TS-15 or TS-16 exit station?
Two decisions. First the model: TS-15 for the narrow plate or TS-16 for the single gang plate, both with the 5/16 inch "PUSH TO EXIT" button and pneumatic time delay. Second, whether you want weather protection, which is available on either model. Plate finish is satin stainless either way, so there is no finish to pick.
12) Should I use a pneumatic timed exit button or an illuminated momentary push button for a request to exit?
Pick by what the door has to do. A pneumatic timed station like the TS-15 or TS-16 holds the release for a set 2 to 60 seconds with no power supply and no separate timer module, which suits a maglocked door where someone needs time to get through. If you only need a momentary contact and want a larger, visible target, a standard illuminated button such as the Dortronics 5215-SPB Series with its 1-1/2 inch square button on a single gang plate covers that, with timing handled elsewhere in the system.
13) For an exterior door, which exit button holds up better - the TS-15 or the Dortronics 5215-SPB?
The TS-15 and TS-16 are both orderable with weather protection, and the switch carries an operating temperature range of 15 to 120 F (minus 9 to 49 C), which is the spec to check against an exterior application. Both plates are satin stainless steel. The Dortronics 5215-SPB is a single gang illuminated exit release; its published detail covers the 1-1/2 inch square illuminated button and single gang plate rather than a weather-protected build, so for a door exposed to the elements the weather protected TS-15 or TS-16 is the more direct match.
14) Will the satin stainless plate on these exit buttons match the other stainless hardware in my building?
The plates are satin stainless steel, so they sit alongside the usual satin stainless push plates, pulls and cover plates on commercial openings. The TS-15 uses 302 stainless and the TS-16 uses 430, a difference in the alloy rather than in the finish appearance.
