Alarm Controls TS-27 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Alarm Controls TS-27 exit button fit on a narrow aluminum door stile?
Yes. The TS-27 mushroom button is mounted on a narrow stile wall plate, which is what lets it land on an aluminum storefront stile instead of needing a full single-gang wall plate. Plan for depth, though: the switch body projects 2-1/2 inches behind the plate, so you need that much clear cavity in the stile or the wall box behind it.
2) How do I wire an Alarm Controls TS-27 to a fail-safe maglock versus a fail-secure electric strike?
Use the contact that matches the lock. A fail-safe maglock is powered to stay locked, so it goes through the normally closed contact and the press interrupts power. A fail-secure electric strike is powered to release, so it goes through the normally open contact and the press completes the circuit. The TS-27 gives you one of each, rated 10A at 35 VDC or 120 VAC, landed on screw terminals.
3) Does the TS-27 exit button hold the door unlocked, or only release it while pressed?
As supplied, the TS-27 switch is momentary action: the lock releases only while the mushroom button is held in, and re-secures the moment it is let go. If the opening needs to stay unlocked for a set period after one press, the TS-27 is offered with a timer relay option instead.
4) Is the TS-27 push to exit station UL listed for access control?
UL 294 listed and CSA Certified. UL 294 is the access control system units standard, so the TS-27 can go into a specified electronic access control installation where the submittal calls for listed release devices.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Alarm Controls TS-27 request to exit station if the wall box is a standard single gang opening?
The Dortronics 5215-SPB exit release is the counterpart to look at for a single gang opening. It mounts on a single gang plate and uses a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button, while the Alarm Controls TS-27 puts its 1-1/2 inch mushroom button on a narrow stile wall plate with a 302 stainless steel finish. Both are the same button diameter class; the difference is plate format and button shape, so pick the TS-27 where the mounting surface is a narrow mullion or stile and the 5215-SPB where a standard single gang box is already in the wall.
6) Can a Dortronics 5215-SPB be swapped straight into an opening where an Alarm Controls TS-27 was installed?
Treat it as a plate change, not a drop-in. The Alarm Controls TS-27 is built on a narrow stile wall plate, and the Dortronics 5215-SPB is built on a single gang plate, so the plate footprint and the cutout behind it are not the same. The TS-27 also needs 2-1/2 inches of switch depth behind the plate, which is worth confirming against whatever box or mullion cavity is already there before either device is ordered.
7) What button colors does the Alarm Controls TS-27 come in?
Three: green (TS-27), black (TS-27B), and red (TS-27R). All three are the same 1-1/2 inch mushroom button on the narrow stile plate screened PUSH TO EXIT. Green is the usual pick for a routine request to exit, and red is normally reserved for emergency or fire release so people don't confuse the two on the same building.
8) Can I mount an Alarm Controls TS-27 exit button outdoors or in an unheated garage?
The TS-27 is rated from -13F to 158F (-25 to 70 C), which covers an unheated parking garage, a loading dock vestibule, or a cold northern entry. It is a commercial-duty device. The temperature spec says nothing about water, so keep it under cover rather than exposed to direct weather.
9) What is the difference between the Alarm Controls TS-27 and the Dortronics 5215-SPB exit button?
Both are 1-1/2 inch exit release buttons, but they suit different openings. The TS-27 is a round mushroom button on a narrow stile plate, sized for an aluminum storefront stile. The Dortronics 5215-SPB Series is a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button on a single gang plate, so it wants a standard single gang box in the wall and it lights up, which helps in a dim corridor. Narrow stile versus single gang is the deciding difference.
10) Is there a request to exit push button with an illuminated button instead of a plain mushroom button?
The Dortronics 5215-SPB exit release uses an illuminated 1-1/2 inch square push button, which is the option when the button needs to be visible in a dim corridor or after hours. The Alarm Controls TS-27 takes a different approach to visibility: it uses a large 1-1/2 inch mushroom button and screens PUSH TO EXIT directly on the plate, and the button itself is offered in green, black, or red so the color can carry the signal.
11) Which request to exit button should be specified when the contacts have to switch a 120 VAC load and the device sits in an unheated space?
The Alarm Controls TS-27 is the one to specify on those two counts. It carries one N/O and one N/C contact rated 10A at 35 VDC or 120 VAC with screw terminal connections, and it is rated for operation from -13 F to +158 F (-25 to 70 C), which covers unheated vestibules, garages, and loading areas. It is UL 294 listed and CSA certified. The Dortronics 5215-SPB is the comparable exit release in the 5215 Series, differing in that it is an illuminated square button on a single gang plate.
12) What should be used instead of a momentary request to exit button when the door has to stay unlocked for a set period?
A momentary button will not hold the door. The Alarm Controls TS-27 ships with a momentary action switch as standard, but the TS-27 is available with a timer relay option for applications that require the door to remain unlocked for a specified time, so the timer version is what to call out on the order rather than adding a separate timer downstream.
13) What finish is the TS-27 exit station plate, and will it match my other storefront hardware?
The plate is 302 stainless steel in a satin stainless finish, which is the standard match for aluminum storefront pulls, push plates, and most brushed access control trim. For a property manager standardizing across a building, every TS-27 button color ships on the same satin stainless plate, so the openings look alike whichever color you specify.
14) Do I need a separate sign next to the exit button for egress instructions?
No extra placard is needed for the instruction itself. The TS-27 plate comes screened PUSH TO EXIT, so the direction is on the device. The large 1-1/2 inch mushroom head is also easier to hit with a palm, elbow, or gloved hand than a small flush button, which matters on healthcare and back-of-house openings where people come through with their hands full.
