Detex DTXRLY24 24VAC Relay Kit for Exit Alarms with Remote Bypass Feature

The Detex DTXRLY24, also known by part number RLY24, is a 24VAC relay kit engineered for use with Detex alarmed exit devices and accessories that feature a remote bypass capability. This relay enables system integrators to expand functionality by allowing remote shunting of the alarm and simultaneously activating or controlling an additional electrified device such as an electric strike, maglock, or auxiliary signaling system.

Designed to operate with 24V AC power, the DTXRLY24 provides a reliable, clean switch interface between the alarm's bypass circuit and other building access control or alerting systems. A separate junction box (J-box) is required for installation, making this kit suitable for professional wiring environments where alarm coordination or multi-device activation is needed.

This relay is a vital accessory for customized security system builds where alarm control must be linked with other electrified hardware, ensuring coordinated, code-compliant egress or lockdown responses.

Key Features:

• 24VAC relay interface for use with Detex exit alarms with remote bypass function

• Enables shunting of the alarm signal and simultaneous activation of a secondary device

• Commonly used to trigger electric locks, strikes, or secondary alerts

• Provides clean switching action, suitable for commercial and institutional environments

• Separate J-box required for proper installation

• Ideal for use in custom-configured access control or emergency egress systems

• Simplifies integration of multiple electrified components within one event trigger

Ideal Applications:

• Schools, hospitals, and public buildings with coordinated access/egress control

• Doors using Detex alarmed exit devices with remote bypass needing additional control logic

• Security systems where bypass must trigger an electrified lock or signal

• Integrated alarm-lock systems in compliance with local life safety codes
