Detex DTXEAX-2500F GRAY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Detex EAX-2500F need a power supply, or does it run on a battery?
The EAX-2500F is a hardwired AC/DC exit alarm, so it needs to be wired to power rather than dropped in on a battery alone. It does carry a field-selectable low battery alert for the standby battery side. Plan the install like any hardwired device: confirm the available AC/DC power matches before you start, kill power first, and wire per the Detex wiring diagram. If you want a battery-only unit with no wiring run, this is not the model for that.
2) What size box do I need to mount the Detex EAX-2500F exit alarm?
It mounts into a standard 4 inch by 4 inch outlet box. That is the whole point of the F (flush) version: the housing is small enough to sit in the box instead of surface mounting on the wall or door. Leave room in the box for the wiring, and mount it where you can still get to it for service.
3) Will the Detex EAX-2500F work with the mortise cylinder I already have?
Its cam assembly self-adjusts for different cylinder sizes, so you do not have to stack spacers to make a cylinder fit. That is a patented arrangement on the EAX-2500 series and it is the reason installers can use the cylinder already keyed into the building's system rather than sourcing a specific length.
4) Can I hold a door open without the alarm screaming, and will it re-arm itself?
Yes. There is an extended bypass that keeps the alarm silenced while the door stands open, then re-arms automatically once the door closes. Auto rearm is field selectable, as is silent arming if you want the unit to arm without an audible chirp. Useful on delivery doors that get propped during a load-in.
5) I have older Detex EA exit alarms on my doors. Can I put an EAX-2500F in their place?
Detex publishes EA to EAX conversion wiring instructions, so changing older EA units over to the EAX platform is a documented path. Pull that sheet before you cut anything, because the wiring on the existing device has to be re-terminated to the EAX arrangement, and the EAX-2500F specifically needs a 4 inch by 4 inch box at the opening.
6) How loud is the Detex EAX-2500F alarm?
Roughly 100dB. That is loud enough to be heard down a corridor or across a retail floor, which is why these get used on stockroom doors, emergency exits and restricted openings where staff need to know immediately that someone pushed the door.
7) What can I set up in the field on the EAX-2500F versus what has to be ordered a certain way?
Four things are field selectable on the unit: the status indicators, auto rearm, low battery alert, and silent arming. You set those during commissioning and then test normal operation, the alarm, bypass and rearm. Ordering is simple by comparison, the EAX-2500F is supplied in gray.
8) Should I use a flush mount exit alarm like the EAX-2500F or a surface mounted exit control lock?
Choose the flush EAX-2500F when there is a 4 inch by 4 inch box at the opening and you want the electronics recessed and out of reach, with hardwired AC/DC power already available. If there is no box and no power run, a surface mounted exit alarm or a self-contained exit control lock is the easier install, since you are not opening the wall. The functional monitoring is the same idea either way, the difference is how it lands on the wall and how it gets powered.
9) Is the Detex EAX-2500F suitable for a school or hospital, or is it a residential alarm?
It is built for commercial duty, not residential. Typical placements are emergency exit monitoring, retail loss prevention, healthcare and school egress doors, industrial plants and government buildings. The tamper resistant housing and cover matter in those settings, because the unit is usually within reach of the public.
