Detex DTX-SIF-EA-36-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex SIF-EA exit alarm kit work on my Advantex exit device, or only certain sizes?
The SIF-EA alarm kit is built for Detex Advantex exit devices, and you order it to match the device length: 36 inch and 48 inch are the two device sizes offered. Pick the one that matches the device already on the door, since the kit uses a slide-in filler plate sized to that device rather than a universal housing.
2) Can I add an exit alarm to an existing Advantex device without replacing the whole exit device?
That's exactly what the Detex SIF-EA kit is for. It's an alarm module with a slide-in filler plate that integrates into a 36 or 48 inch Advantex device already hung on the door, so the panic hardware, rods and strikes stay put. If you're putting alarmed exit hardware on a door that has no panic device yet, you need a complete vertical rod exit device first, then this kit.
3) What power does the Detex SIF-EA exit alarm need?
It runs on 9VDC or on 12/24VAC/DC, so you can feed it from a battery or from a low-voltage supply already in the building. Confirm which one you're wiring before the unit goes in the door, because the alarm and the relay outputs both depend on it.
4) Can the Detex SIF-EA report to my access control panel or let staff pass through without setting it off?
Yes, the kit ships with two relays: a remote signal relay to report the exit to a security or monitoring system, and a remote bypass relay so authorized traffic through the door doesn't trip the sounder. An LED on the unit shows the current status so a guard can tell armed from bypassed at a glance.
5) Which door width do I order the Detex exit alarm kit for, 36 or 48?
The size follows the Advantex device, not the door leaf. A 36 inch Advantex takes the 36 kit and a 48 inch device takes the 48, because the filler plate has to span the device rail. Measure the existing device rail rather than the opening before ordering.
6) The opening needs a fire rated vertical rod device and an alarm on the door. What handles each part?
The alarm side is the Detex SIF-EA kit, which fits Advantex exit devices in 36 and 48 inch device lengths. For the fire rated device itself, the Marks USA M9900FVR is a 36 inch by 84 inch fire rated vertical rod exit device, exit only and non-handed, and the Marks USA M9900F-VR covers 48 inch by 84 inch fire rated, exit only. The Delaney F9100 Series is Grade 1 and fire rated as well. Note the SIF-EA is built for Advantex devices, so on a fire rated opening the alarm and device pairing has to be confirmed against the device the door actually carries.
7) Is there a vertical rod exit device that comes with an exit alarm built into it, or does the alarm always have to be added on?
The Detex SIF-EA is an add-on exit alarm kit that mounts into an Advantex exit device using a slide-in filler plate, so the alarm and the device are bought as two pieces. The vertical rod devices from other makers are mechanical exit devices without alarm electronics: the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod device in the 88 Series, and the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 inch by 84 inch vertical rod panic device. Those are the door hardware; if an opening needs an audible on unauthorized egress, the alarm is a separate item on top of them.
8) How loud is the Detex exit alarm, and will it be heard down the corridor?
The directional piezo sounder puts out more than 100 dB. That's a local, at-the-door alarm meant to stop the person pushing the bar and pull staff attention to that opening, not a building-wide horn. If you need the event reported at a desk or panel, use the remote signal relay in the kit.
9) What stops a staff member from turning the Detex exit alarm off and walking away with the key?
The key stop function only releases the key when the unit is armed. You cannot pull the key out with the alarm disarmed, so the door can't be quietly left unmonitored after a delivery or a smoke break. For a property manager running a fire exit that keeps getting propped, that is the feature doing the work.
10) My exit device isn't a Detex Advantex. What alarmed exit option do I have instead?
This kit won't fit anything but an Advantex device, since the filler plate slides into that specific chassis. On a non-Detex opening you're replacing the exit device rather than adding to it. ZenSupply carries Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices from other brands for that job, including the Von Duprin 8827-3FT wide stile device and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 from the ED-500 Series, both Grade 1 wide stile, exit only.
11) What's the difference between adding an exit alarm to a panic device and buying a standalone alarmed exit device?
Adding the Detex SIF-EA keeps your existing Advantex hardware and drops the alarm, the two relays and the signage into the device itself, so there's one piece of hardware on the door and one place a person interacts with it. Buying a complete device instead means new panic hardware, new rods and new strike prep. On a retrofit where the Advantex is already there and working, the kit is the shorter job.
12) We are replacing a whole door instead of retrofitting. What Grade 1 vertical rod devices are the alternatives?
For a full device replacement rather than adding alarm electronics, the Grade 1 surface vertical rod options include the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, a 3 foot wide stile device in the 88 Series listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a 36 inch wide stile device in the ED-500 Series, exit only, and the Delaney 9100 Series 692301 for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in stainless steel. All three are non fire rated. The Detex SIF-EA is alarm hardware that goes into an existing Advantex device, so it is not a swap for any of them.
13) Is a Cal-Royal 9860 an equivalent to the Detex exit alarm kit?
No. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod exit device, exit only and non fire rated, described as ADA compliant. It is the panic hardware on the door. The Detex SIF-EA is exit monitoring electronics for Advantex devices, with a directional piezo output over 100 dB, remote signal and bypass relays, and a key stop that permits key removal only when armed. One is the device that lets people out, the other is what makes noise when they do.
14) What finishes does the Detex SIF-EA exit alarm come in, and can I match the trim on my other doors?
Three finishes: 630 satin stainless steel, 693 black painted, and 695 dark bronze painted. All three are offered on both the 36 and 48 inch device sizes, so a facility standardizing on dark bronze or black storefront hardware can keep the alarm matching across every opening.
15) Does the Detex exit alarm kit come with the emergency exit signage or do I order that separately?
Signage is included. The kit carries an EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY, ALARM WILL SOUND legend in English with red lettering, so the door is marked as part of the same install. It's English only, worth knowing if your facility posts bilingual signage.
16) What is the difference between the Delaney 8100 and 9100 vertical rod devices if I am specifying a 36 inch by 84 inch door?
Both are Grade 1 non fire rated vertical rod devices for a 36 inch by 84 inch door. The 8100 Series is listed as the 8100 vertical rod type device, and the 9100 Series 692301 is described as heavy duty in a stainless steel finish. Delaney also carries the F9100 Series, which is Grade 1 fire rated, for openings where the door assembly carries a rating.
17) We need dark bronze or black hardware on the storefront. Do the alternatives match?
The Detex SIF-EA alarm kit is ordered in 630 satin stainless steel, 693 black painted, or 695 dark bronze painted. Among the vertical rod devices, the Delaney F9100 Series 694300 is listed in an aluminum finish and the Delaney 9100 Series 692301 in stainless steel. Where the device finish and the alarm finish need to read as one assembly, the 630 satin stainless SIF-EA is the closest match to a stainless device.
