Detex BE-961-1 – Battery Eliminator, 120VAC to 9VDC Converter with 10-ft Flex Conduit (Powers up to 3 Devices)

The Detex BE-961-1 is a battery eliminator kit designed to replace 9V batteries in Detex's ECL and V40 Series battery-powered security devices. Converting 120VAC input to regulated 9VDC output, this unit powers up to three devices such as the ECL-230D, ECL-230X, ECL-600, and V40 alarmed rim exit devices, eliminating battery dependency and significantly reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Ideal for facilities requiring continuous security device operation, the BE-961-1 eliminates the need for annual battery replacements, improving reliability and supporting green building initiatives by minimizing battery waste. The included 10-foot flexible armored conduit ensures durable and clean wiring while maintaining full door operation. An LED indicator provides visual confirmation of power status.

This model is wall-mountable adjacent to the protected opening and can also support concealed wiring when used with electric hinges for enhanced security. A standard cast aluminum housing and built-in transient suppression circuitry ensure rugged durability in commercial installations.
