Alarm Controls TS-21G – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Alarm Controls TS-21 push button fit a standard single gang electrical box?
Yes. The TS-21 request to exit station is a switch mounted on a single gang wall plate, so it lands on a standard single gang box or mud ring. Allow 2 inches of switch depth behind the plate, which rules out very shallow boxes or a box packed with wire. Wiring lands on screw terminals.
2) Can the TS-21 exit button switch a mag lock directly, or does it need a relay?
It can break the lock power directly within its rating. The TS-21 carries one N/O and one N/C contact rated 10A at 35 VDC or 120 VAC, which covers the 12V or 24V DC current a typical mag lock or strike draws. Use the N/C contact in series with the lock power for a direct break, or the N/O contact to signal an access control panel input.
3) Does the TS-21 button latch when pressed or release right away?
Momentary action only. The mushroom button returns as soon as it is released, so the door unlocks for whatever dwell time your controller or timer provides. If you need the door to stay unlocked until someone presses again, the TS-21 is the wrong switch, you want a maintained or alternate action button.
4) What is the difference between the Alarm Controls TS-21 exit station and the Dortronics 5215-SPB exit release?
Both are single gang exit release push button stations. The TS-21 uses an extra-large 2-1/2 inch mushroom push button on a single gang stainless steel wall plate labeled PUSH TO EXIT, with momentary action. The Dortronics 5215-SPB uses a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button on a single gang plate. So the choice comes down to a large unlit mushroom target versus a smaller illuminated square button.
5) I need an illuminated exit button so it can be found in a dark corridor - what should I use instead of the TS-21?
The TS-21 mushroom button is not an illuminated device; it relies on its 2-1/2 inch target size and the PUSH TO EXIT plate legend for visibility. If the opening calls for a lit button, the Dortronics 5215-SPB is a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button on a single gang plate, so it drops into the same single gang box prep.
6) Which exit push button should I use on an exterior door exposed to weather?
The TS-21 series can be ordered with weather protection, and it is rated for operation from minus 13 F to 158 F (minus 25 to 70 C), which suits an exterior application. The Dortronics 5215-SPB is an interior-style single gang illuminated exit release plate. For an outdoor opening, specify a TS-21B, TS-21G or TS-21R with the weather protection option.
7) Which color mushroom button should I order for an exit station?
Three colors are offered: TS-21B black, TS-21G green, and TS-21R red. Green is the usual choice for a routine request to exit, black blends into a lobby or office wall, and red is generally reserved where the button reads as an emergency or release function. All three use the same 2-1/2 inch mushroom head on a satin stainless single gang plate labeled PUSH TO EXIT.
8) Can the TS-21 exit button be mounted outdoors or in an unheated garage?
Temperature is not the limit here: the TS-21 operates from -13F to +158F (-25 to 70C), which covers most unconditioned spaces. For anywhere exposed to rain or washdown, order the weather protected version, which is a separate choice from the button color when ordering.
9) Is the 2-1/2 inch mushroom button easier to hit than a standard square exit button?
That is the reason to pick it. The extra large 2-1/2 inch mushroom head gives a much bigger target than a small square button, which matters in healthcare corridors, schools, and anywhere someone is pushing a cart or wearing gloves. For comparison, the Dortronics 5215-SPB exit release uses a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated button on a single gang plate, so it is smaller but lights up.
10) For an ADA-friendly large target exit button, is the Dortronics 5215-SPB an equivalent to the TS-21?
Not on target size. The TS-21 is built around an extra-large 2-1/2 inch mushroom button chosen specifically to give a big, easy-to-hit target for egress, and it comes in black, green or red. The Dortronics 5215-SPB button face is 1-1/2 inch square. If the large mushroom actuator is the reason you specified the part, stay with the TS-21 series.
11) Is the TS-21 rated for commercial use, and does the plate match other stainless hardware?
It is a commercial rated device, and the plate carries a 402 stainless steel satin finish, so it sits alongside the satin stainless wall plates and door hardware already common in commercial corridors. Useful if you are standardizing exit stations across a building.
12) Do I need a separate exit button if the door already has an access control reader?
Yes, in most egress designs. A reader controls entry from outside; the TS-21 sits on the secure side and gives a code compliant push to exit release, with the plate already labeled PUSH TO EXIT so occupants know what it does. Its N/O contact feeds the panel REX input, or the N/C contact breaks lock power directly.
