Detex DCE-18312 – V40EEX-W Weatherized Delayed Egress Exit Device, 15-Second Delay, Aluminum Finish, Less Dogging, Magnetic Blocker Kit (Controller Not Included)

The Detex DCE-18312 (model V40EEX-W-LD-RWE-48-FC10) is a 48-inch weatherized rim exit device from the Value Series V40 family, equipped for delayed egress applications. This model features a 15-second egress delay, a magnetic blocker kit, and an internal pushpad switch for signal activation, making it ideal for high-security environments where delayed or controlled egress is required—without relying on a magnetic lock.

Engineered to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, this device is ideal for installations such as garden centers, amusement parks, swimming pools, psychiatric facilities, memory care centers, and fenced courtyards. The EEX-W feature includes an internal mechanical blocker, allowing the panic device to serve as the delay mechanism itself when connected to a separate logic controller (e.g., Detex 106595-1, sold separately).

The system is supplied less dogging (LD standard), includes a 10-foot weatherized conduit kit, and features a Red/White English pushpad for immediate visibility and compliance. It mounts via the BP2 plate and is finished in 628 / US28 Satin Aluminum.

Key Features:

• Delayed egress function (15 seconds) with 100dB alarm upon activation

• EEX-W configuration: Includes internal blocker to delay egress without a maglock

• Pushpad switch enables logic controller to trigger nuisance or alarm signals

• Compatible with external logic controller and fire alarm override
