Detex 104358-1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What's the difference between the Detex EA, EB, and EB W exit alarms?
Power and environment. EA runs on 120V AC with a 9V battery backup, so it ties into building power and existing security infrastructure. EB is standalone 9V battery only, no wiring at all, which makes it the fast retrofit on a door with no power nearby. EB W is the weatherized 9V battery version with low-battery alerts, built with stainless steel, anodized aluminum and UV-resistant ABS for outdoor, coastal and wash-down locations. EA and EB use a heavy-duty aluminum rail extrusion. All three sound a 100 dB alarm on unauthorized exit.
2) Which Detex exit alarm model holds up on an outdoor gate or a coastal building?
The EB W. It's the weatherized model, certified to UL1034, MIL-STD 810F for rain and salt fog, and UBC 7-2, with stainless steel, anodized aluminum and UV-resistant ABS construction. Salt fog testing is the one that matters on a coastal site. The EA and EB use an aluminum rail extrusion and are not the weatherized build, so keep those on interior openings.
3) Will the Detex exit alarm fit a 48 inch door?
Yes. The Detex Exit Alarm Series is sold for both 36 inch and 48 inch door widths, and each width is available in all three alarm configurations: EA hardwired with battery backup, EB battery, and EB W weatherized battery. Pick the width to match the door leaf, then the power option to match the opening.
4) Can I tie an exit alarm into my building alarm or access control system?
On the Detex EA and EB W models, yes. Both come standard with remote signal and remote bypass, so the device can drive a building alarm, horn or strobe and can be bypassed from a button, keypad or card reader for authorized exits. The EA is the one to specify when you want full hardwired integration with existing electrical and security infrastructure; the EB W gets you remote functions on a battery unit outdoors.
5) What do I need on site to install a Detex EA hardwired exit alarm?
The EA needs 120V AC feeding a 12V AC transformer, so plan on an electrician and confirm the circuit before the door goes up. It also carries a 9V battery backup so the alarm survives a power drop. Wiring for remote signal and bypass runs per Detex's diagrams. If there's no power at the opening, order the EB or EB W instead; both are wire-free 9V battery units with no electrical prep.
6) What Grade 1 vertical rod exit device works on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
Watch the stile before you order. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are both listed as wide stile devices, so they need the rail width a wide stile door gives you and will not land on a narrow stile storefront. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the standard commercial thickness. If your leaf is a narrow stile aluminum door, measure the stile face and match a narrow stile device to it rather than forcing a wide stile rail.
7) Can I put an exit alarm on a door that has to stay code compliant for egress?
Yes. The Detex Exit Alarm Series is panic hardware first: it meets UL panic and fire exit hardware standards, and the alarm does not lock anyone in. Pushing the device still releases the door for free egress; the 100 dB sounder just announces that it happened. That is why it is used on commercial emergency exits, school exits and healthcare egress doors where you need both life safety and control over who leaves.
8) How do I keep an exit alarm from going off every time an authorized employee uses the door?
Use the remote bypass. On the Detex EA and EB W, bypass is standard and can be triggered from a button, a keypad, or a card reader, so a badged employee leaves without setting off the 100 dB sounder while an unauthorized push still alarms. The EB battery model is the standalone unit without those remote functions, so if bypass matters on that opening, specify EA or EB W.
9) The opening is a fire rated exit. What vertical rod device should be used instead of the Detex Exit Alarm Series?
For a fire rated opening, go to a device that carries a fire rating on its own listing. The Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated vertical rod exit device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door, exit only and non-handed, and the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR covers 48 inch by 84 inch fire rated, exit only. The Delaney F9100 Series, sold as DLY-694300, is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in an aluminum finish. The Detex Exit Alarm Series is the choice when the requirement is unauthorized exit deterrence with a 100 dB alarm and remote integration rather than a fire rated assembly.
10) What is the closest vertical rod exit device to the Detex Exit Alarm Series if the door does not need an onboard alarm?
The Detex Exit Alarm Series pairs vertical rod panic hardware with a built-in 100 dB alarm, remote signal, and bypass, for 36 inch and 48 inch doors. For an opening that only needs the panic function and gets its monitoring from the access control system instead, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, in the 88 Series, for 1-3/4 inch thick doors. The Marks USA M9900VR covers the same 36 inch by 84 inch door as an exit only, non-handed vertical rod panic device, and the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 covers 48 inch by 84 inch, so both Detex door widths have a plain vertical rod counterpart.
11) For an outdoor gate or a coastal opening, what vertical rod exit hardware holds up where the Grade 1 indoor devices do not?
The Detex EB W is the weatherized configuration, a 9V battery model built from stainless steel, anodized aluminum, and UV resistant ABS, certified to UL1034, MIL-STD 810F for rain and salt fog, and UBC 7-2, and it is offered on both 36 inch and 48 inch doors. The vertical rod devices in the comparable range are specified for door openings rather than weather exposure: the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684 is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door. Those are the interior and perimeter door choices; the EB W is the one specified for the exposed gate.
12) After the alarm goes off, does someone have to reset it with a key?
That's your choice at setup. The Detex Exit Alarm Series offers key rearm or auto rearm on a 2 minute timer. Key rearm suits retail loss prevention and healthcare, where you want a manager to acknowledge every door event. Auto rearm at 2 minutes keeps a remote stair or gate door back in service without sending staff to it.
13) Do I need an alarmed exit device or just a plain panic device on my emergency exit?
It depends on whether the door is being misused. A plain vertical rod exit device like the Marks USA M9900VR or the Von Duprin 8827-3FT gives you free egress and nothing more. The Detex Exit Alarm Series adds a 100 dB local alarm plus remote signal and bypass on the EA and EB W, which is what you want on a door people push open to shortcut, prop, or walk merchandise out of. If nobody is abusing the opening, the alarm is cost you don't need.
14) What is the difference between a Grade 1 and Grade 2 vertical rod exit device for my building?
Grade is the ANSI/BHMA durability tier, and it decides whether the device survives the traffic. Grade 1 is the higher cycle and strength tier, built for high-use commercial and institutional openings; Grade 2 handles lighter duty. In our vertical rod devices, the Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2 and ADA compliant, while the Delaney 8100 and 9100 Series, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT are Grade 1. A school corridor or a hospital exit takes Grade 1; a low-traffic back office door can run Grade 2.
15) Do these vertical rod exit devices need to be handed?
On the vertical rod devices we carry, the Marks USA M9900VR is non-handed, as is the fire rated M9900FVR, so one device covers a left or right hand door. Handing is worth confirming before you order any exit device, since a handed device on the wrong leaf is a return rather than a field fix.
16) I want the same exit hardware on every door in my property. Which of these covers both 36 and 48 inch leaves?
The Detex Exit Alarm Series is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch, and each width takes any of the three alarm options, so you can standardize on one series across mixed leaf widths and only vary the power option by opening. In plain exit devices, the Marks USA M9900VR comes as a 36 x 84 and a 48 x 84, so it spans the same two widths within one model family.
17) Is a Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex Exit Alarm Series on a facility standardization spec?
They are not equivalent on two counts. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device, exit only, not fire rated, and it is the panic hardware alone. The Detex Exit Alarm Series carries an integrated 100 dB alarm with remote signal and bypass that ties into building alarms, horns, strobes, and access control. If the specification calls for Grade 1, the Delaney 9100 Series device DLY-692301 and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 in the ED-500 Series are both Grade 1 vertical rod devices for a 36 inch door.
18) Which vertical rod exit devices are handed, and does the Detex Exit Alarm Series need handing called out on the order?
Among the vertical rod devices, the Marks USA M9900VR is stated as non-handed for a 36 inch by 84 inch door, and the fire rated Marks USA M9900FVR is non-handed as well. The Detex Exit Alarm Series is ordered by door width, 36 inch or 48 inch, and by alarm configuration, EA hardwired with battery backup, EB battery, or EB W weatherized battery. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a wide stile device, as is the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, so the stile width of the door leaf is the dimension to confirm on those two before substituting.
19) If the door has no power available, what are the options against the hardwired Detex EA?
The Detex EA runs on 120V AC with 9V battery backup and needs wiring routed for remote signal and bypass. Where no power reaches the door, the Detex EB is the standalone 9V battery model with no wiring required, and the EB W adds weatherized construction with low battery alerts, both offered on 36 inch and 48 inch doors. If the opening does not need an alarm at all and can be purely mechanical, the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in a stainless steel finish, and the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod device, exit only.
20) Is a 100 dB exit alarm loud enough for a retail floor?
100 dB is a local audible deterrent, loud enough to stop a fire-exit push at the back of a store and bring staff to the door. Where the sales floor is large or noisy, use the remote signal on the EA or EB W to drive a horn or strobe at the service desk rather than relying on the local sounder alone.
