BEA 10ACPBDA1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the BEA 10ACPBDAX push button need power or a separate timer to hold a door open?
No power supply and no external timer. The 10ACPBDAX holds its own delay pneumatically, so the mechanism itself runs the 2 to 60 second hold time once the button is pressed. You still wire the switch contacts into whatever it releases, and those contacts are rated 5 A at 125 VAC. For a locksmith replacing a powered timer relay, this collapses that whole piece of the install into the button.
2) Can I use the 10ACPBDAX pneumatic push button outdoors or in an unheated garage?
Indoor only. The 10ACPBDAX is rated for indoor use, with an operating range of -15 to 120 deg. F. An unheated but enclosed space inside that temperature band is within rating; an exposed exterior location is not, and you should be specifying a weather-rated exterior actuator instead.
3) Do I have to order a normally open or normally closed contact on the BEA pneumatic push button?
The contactor is available NO or NC, so decide from what you are releasing. A fail-secure electric strike or maglock circuit that is broken to release wants NC; most door operator and strike release inputs want NO. Confirm the input on your controller before you place the order, because the button is a self-contained mechanical switch and there is no board inside to reconfigure.
4) Which button color and marking should I order for an ADA handicap door operator?
For an accessible entrance actuator, order the blue button with the handicap logo. Red with Push to Exit text and green with Push to Exit text are the other two markings, and those are the ones you want on an egress or release application rather than a barrier-free operator. All three colors come in both the 1-5/8 inch and 2 inch button sizes and in both jamb and single-gang faceplates.
5) How accurate is the hold time on the BEA pneumatic push button, and can I set it after it is installed?
The delay is field adjustable anywhere from 2 to 60 seconds and holds to within +/-5% at 72 deg. F. It is a mechanical adjustment on the pneumatic mechanism, so you can dial it in on the wall after the plate is up and re-set it later if the traffic pattern changes. Note the accuracy figure is referenced at 72 deg. F, so a cold vestibule will drift more than a conditioned corridor.
6) Should I use a pneumatic push button or an electronic timer button for a high traffic entry?
A pneumatic button like the 10ACPBDAX is the choice when you do not want to run power to the actuator and do not want electronics in the wall. It carries a product life test of 1 million operations and the design deliberately minimizes moving parts. Where it does not fit is anything needing wireless transmit, low energy operator handshaking, or a timing range past 60 seconds; those call for an electronic actuator with its own supply.
7) Which button size should I specify, the 1-5/8 inch or the 2 inch?
Two sizes are offered: 1-5/8 inch standard and 2 inch large. The larger face is easier to strike with an elbow, a cart, or a gloved hand, which is why it tends to go on healthcare and accessible entries. Both sizes are available on the jamb and the single-gang plate, and both cover the faceplate footprints stated for those plates, so the size choice does not change your wall prep.
8) Will the stainless faceplate on this pneumatic button hold up in a hospital corridor or a school hallway?
Construction is a stainless steel faceplate with a colored, anodized aluminum button, which is why it goes into healthcare entry points, schools, and municipal buildings. The wear case is covered by the 1 million operation life test. For a property manager standardizing a building, the same three markings and two button sizes run across every jamb and single-gang plate, so the openings match.
