Alarm Controls TS-2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Alarm Controls TS-2 push to exit button fit a standard single gang box?
Yes. The TS-2 request to exit station is built on a single gang wall plate, so it drops onto any standard single gang box or mud ring. Allow 2-1/2 inches of depth behind the plate for the switch body, which rules out very shallow boxes and tight mullion cavities. The plate is 430 stainless with a satin stainless finish.
2) Can the TS-2 exit button switch a maglock directly, or do I need a relay?
The contacts are rated 10A at 35 VDC or 120 VAC, so the TS-2 can break the power to a typical 12 or 24 VDC magnetic lock directly without an interposing relay. The switch is momentary SPDT, giving you both a normally closed leg to interrupt lock power and a normally open leg for an alarm shunt or door controller input. Wiring lands on 10 inch colored leads rather than screw terminals.
3) I need the exit button to release the lock and start a timer at the same time. Which TS-2 version do I order?
Order the TS-2-2. It gives momentary DPDT output, one set of momentary contacts and one set of timed contacts, so one press can drop the lock and simultaneously feed a timed circuit such as an alarm shunt or an auto operator. The base TS-2 is momentary SPDT only. On the order form that is the DPDT button option rather than the SPDT one.
4) What is a comparable illuminated square request to exit push button station to the Alarm Controls TS-2?
The Dortronics 5215-SPB Series exit release is the closest peer. It uses a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button on a single gang plate, while the Alarm Controls TS-2 uses a 2 inch green square push button illuminated with a hi-brightness LED, mounted on a single gang wall plate in 430 stainless steel. Both are single gang egress stations, so the wall box prep is the same either way; the visible difference is button size and the TS-2 button legend, which reads PUSH TO EXIT.
5) Does the Dortronics 5215-SPB do the same job as the TS-2 if I need a UL 294 listed egress device?
The Alarm Controls TS-2 is UL 294 listed, which is the listing an access control inspector looks for on a request to exit station in a healthcare, education, or government facility. Both parts are single gang illuminated square exit release buttons, so they solve the same opening, but if UL 294 is written on your drawing, specify the TS-2 by model number and confirm the listing on the Dortronics part with its manufacturer before you substitute.
6) I need a second set of timed contacts, not just a momentary output. Is the plain TS-2 the right choice?
No. The base Alarm Controls TS-2 is a momentary SPDT action switch. If the job needs a timed output alongside the momentary one, order the TS-2-2, which gives momentary DPDT output with one set of momentary and one set of timed contacts. The Dortronics 5215-SPB is a single gang square illuminated exit release and is not a substitute for the dual-contact requirement. Contacts on the TS-2 family are rated 10A at 35 VDC or 120 VAC and the LED runs on 12 or 24 VAC/VDC.
7) What voltage do I have to run to the TS-2 to light the push button?
The LED in the square button runs on 12 or 24 VAC or VDC, so it will take a leg off the same low voltage supply feeding the maglock or the access panel. That is separate from the switch contacts themselves, which are rated 10A at 35 VDC or 120 VAC. No dedicated power supply is needed if you already have 12 or 24 volts at the door.
8) Can I get the exit button in Spanish or French for a bilingual building?
Yes. Besides the standard green 2 inch square button labeled PUSH TO EXIT, the TS-2 station is ordered with a Spanish push to exit legend or a French push to exit legend. There is also a PUSH TO ENTER version, a blank button with no legend for custom labeling, and a red button. Seven button configurations in all, on the same single gang stainless plate.
9) What is the difference between the Alarm Controls TS-2 and the Dortronics 5215-SPB exit button?
Both are single gang illuminated square push button exit releases. The difference is button size and configuration depth: the TS-2 carries a 2 inch square button, momentary SPDT, with a DPDT timed version available and legends in English, Spanish, French, push to enter or blank. The Dortronics 5215-SPB Series uses a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated button on a single gang plate. If you are matching an existing wall of buttons, the button size is what a tenant will notice.
10) Do I need to add wire nuts or a terminal block to install the TS-2, or does it land on screws?
The switch comes terminated with 10 inch colored leads, not screw terminals, so plan on splicing in the box. Bring your homerun long enough to make up inside the gang box and remember the switch body takes 2-1/2 inches behind the plate, so the splices share whatever depth is left.
11) The opening needs a Spanish or French legend, or no legend at all. What do I use instead of the standard PUSH TO EXIT button?
Stay in the Alarm Controls TS family rather than crossing brands. The TS-2 is offered with a Spanish Push to Exit button, a French Push to Exit button, and a Blank Button with no legend, along with Push to Open and a Red Push Button version. The Dortronics 5215-SPB is a square illuminated exit release on a single gang plate and does not offer that legend range, so a multilingual or unlabeled opening is the case where the TS-2 is the straightforward answer.
12) Will a Dortronics 5215-SPB match the stainless plates already installed on my other exit doors?
If the rest of the fleet is Alarm Controls TS stations, the TS-2 plate is satin stainless steel with a 430 stainless finish on a single gang wall plate, so a replacement matches the doors around it. The Dortronics 5215-SPB is also a single gang plate device, so it fits the same box, but the button face is 1-1/2 inch square against the TS-2 2 inch square button, which reads differently down a corridor of otherwise identical stations.
13) Should I use a green or a red push button for a request to exit station?
Green is the standard on the TS-2 for egress, and the 2 inch square button is illuminated with a hi brightness LED so it reads from across a lobby. Red is available as the TS-2R and crews typically reserve it for a function you do not want mistaken for normal egress, an emergency release or a hold open kill. If the same wall has more than one button, colour is the fastest way to keep occupants off the wrong one.
14) Is the TS-2 exit station suitable for a commercial building, or is it a residential product?
It is a commercial device. The TS-2 is built on a 430 stainless single gang plate in satin stainless, UL 294 listed, and rated to switch 10A at 120 VAC, which is why it turns up in office lobbies, healthcare corridors and multi family entries rather than homes. Satin stainless also matches the plates and lever trim already hung on most commercial openings.
