Detex 40EE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Detex Advantex 40EE come with the power supply for the delayed egress, or do I have to order one separately?
The power supply is included with the 40EE. Detex catalogues the device function as delayed egress alarm with power supply included, so the electrified side of the opening is covered in the one order. You still need to run power to the door and wire the device per the Detex wiring diagrams, and configure the delay timing and alarm settings to suit your local code before the opening is signed off.
2) Can I install the Detex 40EE exit device on a wood door?
No. The Advantex 40EE is not wood door compatible. It is built for commercial metal and aluminum door applications, so if the opening is a wood door you need a rim device rated for wood, such as the Adams Rite 3700 Series fire-rated rim device or the Adams Rite 8700 Series, both of which are listed as wood door compatible.
3) What is delayed egress and when would I use a 40EE instead of a standard panic bar?
Delayed egress holds the door for a set time after someone pushes the bar, sounding an alarm, before releasing for egress. It is used where you need to deter unauthorized exits (retail loss prevention, healthcare wander control, schools, multi-tenant residential) while still meeting emergency egress requirements. The 40EE builds that into the exit device with its power supply, and the delay and alarm settings are configured to your application and local code. If the exit does not need to be controlled, a plain mechanical rim device such as the Corbin Russwin ED2200 exit-only or the BEST Precision 2101 wide stile rim device is the simpler buy.
4) What is the closest alternative to the Detex Advantex 40EE if I need an electrified exit device rather than a purely mechanical one?
The Detex Advantex 40EE is a Grade 1 rim exit device with delayed egress alarm and power supply included. If the opening needs electrification without delayed egress, the SDC Spectra S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device for wide stile doors with a 4 inch stile and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim device supplied with 4908A trim in an 08 classroom function. Both are electrified rim devices, but neither is described with a delayed egress timer or an included power supply the way the 40EE is.
5) I only need access control release on the exit bar, not a delayed egress timer. What should I use instead of the Detex 40EE?
Two SDC bars cover that. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology; both are listed for narrow or wide stile doors and are not fire rated. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. These release a lock or signal a system, while the Detex Advantex 40EE carries the delayed egress alarm function with power supply included.
6) The opening is a fire rated door. What Grade 1 rim device should I specify instead of the Detex Advantex 40EE?
For a fire rated opening, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device is Grade 1 and fire rated, and the Dexter ED1000 Series rim device is offered in a Grade 1 fire rated version. The Sargent 12-8810 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with L trim, RX and MELR. The Detex Advantex 40EE is the Grade 1 delayed egress version with power supply included and is built for metal doors, with no wood door compatibility.
7) The door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront. Does the Detex 40EE fit, or should I look at another device?
The Detex Advantex 40EE is catalogued with a wide stile type. For a true narrow stile aluminum door, the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED3700 is a 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim device. All three are mechanical devices without a delayed egress alarm.
8) Is the Detex Advantex 40EE Grade 1?
Grade 1, and Detex builds it as super-heavy-duty hardware for high-use, high-abuse openings. For a facility standardizing on Grade 1 rim devices across a building, common Grade 1 alternatives include the Von Duprin 22 Series wide stile pushpad device and the Corbin Russwin ED5200. Neither of those carries the delayed egress and power supply the 40EE does, so they are not a like-for-like swap on a controlled exit.
9) Do I have to pull the Detex 40EE off the door to rekey or change the outside trim?
No. The outside trim on the Advantex 40EE is changed or re-keyed without removing the device from the door, which is the difference between a ten minute service call and a full reinstall on a delayed egress opening you would otherwise have to rewire and retest.
10) Is the Detex 40EE a narrow stile or wide stile device?
Detex lists the 40EE stile type as wide stile, while the product description positions the Advantex 40 Series for narrow stile single and double doors with mullions. Because those two points do not line up, confirm the stile requirement against your door before ordering. If you know you have a narrow aluminum stile, purpose-built narrow stile rim devices include the TownSteel ED3700 and the Falcon 19-R Series, both Grade 1.
11) What else do I need to plan for besides the device when installing a Detex 40EE delayed egress exit?
Budget for the electrical side. The install calls for verifying electrical requirements and power supply compatibility first, cutting power before you start, running wiring to the door in the correct gauge per the Detex wiring diagrams, then configuring delay timing and alarm settings and testing normal egress, the delay, alarm activation, and any connected access control. Detex publishes door prep templates, an installation instruction sheet, and a parts list for the Advantex 10/40 devices, and the patented mounting plate and strike locator handles the mechanical layout.
12) Is there an alternative to the Detex 40EE if I want electrified exit control but not delayed egress?
Yes, several. The SDC Spectra S6136 is an electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile that fits 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. The SDC SureExit PSB560 is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology suited to narrow or wide stile, and the SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar releases an electromagnetic lock. The Dormakaba E2103 comes electrified with 4908A trim in a classroom function. None of those provide the timed delay and alarm the 40EE does, so use them where you want access control or monitoring rather than egress delay.
13) My opening is a pair of doors with vertical rod hardware. Is the Detex 40EE the right device?
The Detex Advantex 40EE is a rim exit device, so it latches to a strike on the frame or a mullion rather than to the head and sill. For a pair running vertical rods, the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device has a wide stile pushpad and the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device is narrow stile. Those are a different latching arrangement entirely and do not carry the 40EE delayed egress alarm function.
14) Is there a simpler mechanical exit device I can use where delayed egress is not required?
Yes. If the opening just needs panic hardware, the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1 non-handed 36 inch wide stile pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device in exit only with trim accepted, and the TownSteel ED1100 is a 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim device. None of these carry an alarm or power supply; the Detex Advantex 40EE is the one with the delayed egress alarm function and included power supply.
15) What are the Grade 1 heavy duty rim devices comparable to the Detex Advantex 40EE for high traffic openings?
The Detex Advantex 40EE is Grade 1 commercial hardware described as super heavy duty for high use, high abuse environments. Comparable Grade 1 heavy duty rim devices include the Dormakaba QED200 36 inch narrow device, the Stanley Security QED200 Series narrow stile device with hex key dogging, the TownSteel ED9700 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile device, and the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The distinction is that the 40EE adds the delayed egress alarm with power supply.
16) Is a Grade 2 rim device like the Cal-Royal 5000 an acceptable substitute for the Detex 40EE?
They are not equivalent. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar and a Grade 2 chassis, heavy duty, not fire rated, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch push bar version, also Grade 2. The Detex Advantex 40EE is Grade 1 and carries the delayed egress alarm function with power supply included, which the Cal-Royal bars do not.
17) I need a nightlatch or keyed outside trim function, not delayed egress. What rim device covers that?
The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device in a night latch function, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and ED5200 are Grade 1 devices listed as exit only that accept trim. The Detex Advantex 40EE is supplied for delayed egress with an alarm and power supply, and its outside trims can be changed or re-keyed without taking the device off the door.
18) My door is 48 inches wide. What rim devices cover that opening if the Detex 40EE does not?
For 48 inch openings, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices for a 48 inch minimum door width, and the Marks USA M9900F-48 is a fire rated 48 inch rim device in exit only. All are mechanical panic devices without the delayed egress alarm carried by the Detex Advantex 40EE.
19) How well does the Detex Advantex 40EE hold up in an abusive exterior opening?
All exposed surfaces are PVD finished over a stainless steel substrate, and the end cap is angled to deflect impact away from the device. That combination is aimed at exterior and high-abuse doors where end caps normally get torn off and finishes chalk. Installation uses Detex's patented mounting plate and strike locator system to get the device and strike aligned the first time.
