Alarm Controls TS-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Alarm Controls TS-36 exit button fit a standard single gang box?
Yes. The TS-36 mushroom button is mounted on a single gang wall plate, so it goes into a standard single gang backbox or mud ring. The plate carries a satin stainless steel finish (430 stainless), and the button itself is a 1-1/2 inch red mushroom head engraved EXIT with white fill.
2) Can I wire the TS-36 exit station to release a mag lock that fails safe, and will it also trigger my alarm shunt?
Both, on one switch. The TS-36 carries one normally open and one normally closed contact, so you can break the mag lock power on the N/C side while using the N/O side for a shunt, alarm input, or auxiliary relay. It is momentary action only, meaning the contacts transfer only while the mushroom head is held down and return as soon as it is released.
3) What is the difference between the Alarm Controls TS-36 request to exit station and the Dortronics 5215-SPB exit release?
Both are single gang request to exit push button stations with a 1-1/2 inch actuator. The Alarm Controls TS-36 uses a 1-1/2 inch red mushroom button engraved EXIT with white fill, mounted on a single gang plate in satin stainless steel, with one N/O and one N/C contact rated 10A at 35 VDC or 120 VAC and a momentary action that stays active only while depressed. The Dortronics 5215-SPB is a 5215 Series exit release with a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button on a single gang plate. The practical choice is button shape and whether you want an illuminated square button or a large mushroom head that can be hit with an elbow or a palm.
4) Should I use a mushroom button or an illuminated square button for a request to exit?
The TS-36 uses a large 1-1/2 inch red mushroom head engraved EXIT, which is easier to strike with a palm, elbow, or gloved hand and reads as an exit device from across a corridor without power. If you want the button to be visible in a dark space or to indicate state, an illuminated type is the alternative, for example the Dortronics 5215-SPB, a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated push button on a single gang plate.
5) Will the TS-36 hold the door unlocked, or do I need a timer?
It will not hold. The TS-36 is a momentary switch, so the circuit transfers only while the mushroom button is pressed and restores the instant it is let go. For a timed unlock after the button is pressed, feed the TS-36 into a separate timer or access control relay; the switch itself has no delay function.
6) For an exterior door, should I use the standard Alarm Controls TS-36 or a different station?
For an exterior or wash-down location, use the TS-36302, which is the same switch mounted on a weather resistant plate with a 302 stainless steel finish rather than the standard 430 stainless steel single gang plate. It keeps the same 1-1/2 inch red mushroom EXIT button and momentary action. The Dortronics 5215-SPB exit release is an indoor-style single gang plate with a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated button and is not described as weather resistant.
7) Does the Alarm Controls TS-36 latch when pressed, or do I need a different button for a maintained output?
The TS-36 is a momentary action switch - the contact remains active only as long as the button is depressed, so it will not hold a door unlocked after release. If you need a held state, the access control panel or relay downstream has to provide the timing; the button itself will not. The Dortronics 5215-SPB is likewise a push button exit release on a single gang plate.
8) Is the TS-36 exit button suitable for commercial and institutional buildings?
It is a commercial-rated device, built for access controlled openings in offices, schools, healthcare, and multi-family common areas. The stainless plate and 10A contacts suit corridor and stairwell traffic, and the components are UL 294 listed for access control system use.
9) I have other satin stainless exit buttons in the building. Will the TS-36 match?
The TS-36 plate is satin stainless steel, which is the common match for 630 finish lever trim and other stainless wall plates already in most commercial corridors. The visible difference from a flat square button is the raised red mushroom head, so it will stand out from a plain stainless switch even though the plate finish matches.
