Detex V40EE-PSO-628-36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex V40EE delayed egress device fit my door stile and thickness?
The V40EE needs a stile of at least 3-1/2 inches and a door 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches thick. That covers standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors and thicker leaves. The chassis is non-handed and field-sizeable, and it mounts on wood, aluminum, fiberglass, or hollow metal. Narrow stile aluminum storefront doors under 3-1/2 inches are out.
2) What actually happens when someone pushes the Detex V40EE bar?
Pushing the bar starts a 15 second release delay and sets off the built-in 100dB local alarm. The door stays locked through the delay, then releases. The device can be tied into the fire alarm system so it drops immediately on an alarm signal. That is the loss prevention trade: you get warning and staff response time without trapping anyone.
3) Does the Detex V40EE come with a power supply?
No power supply ships with it. The V40EE is electrified and needs power provided separately, which lets it run off an existing controller or logic power system. Detex lists the 106595-1 power supply for it, plus FC3 or FC10 flexible conduit kits, the PT5 concealed power transfer, and the EH8 energy transfer hinge to get power from frame to door. Budget the transfer device into the order, not just the supply.
4) Is a delayed egress exit device legal on an emergency exit, and where is it used?
Delayed egress is a code-recognized function when the delay is limited and the device releases on fire alarm. The V40EE runs a 15 second delay with fire alarm override, and is UL Listed, ANSI A156.3, BHMA Grade 1, and ADA compliant. Typical uses are retail and garden centers, memory care and assisted living, schools and athletic facilities, healthcare security zones, and industrial restricted areas. Your AHJ still has to sign off on delayed egress for the occupancy.
5) I just need a panic device on a pair of doors, not an alarm. What should I buy instead of the V40EE?
If nobody has to be stopped or warned on the way out, skip delayed egress entirely, it costs more and adds wiring you don't need. Straight mechanical vertical rod exit devices we carry include the Von Duprin 8827-3FT wide stile device in Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 wide stile Grade 1 at 36 inches, and the Marks USA M9900VR non-handed exit only device in 36 or 48 inch. Buy the V40EE only when the 15 second hold and the 100dB alarm are the point.
6) I need a vertical rod exit device on a fire rated door - can I use the Detex V40EE?
For a fire rated opening, the Delaney F9100 Series device (DLY-694300) is Grade 1 and fire rated, sized for a 36 by 84 inch door in an aluminum finish. Marks USA also carries fire rated vertical rod devices in both common door widths: the M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches and the MARM9900F-VR at 48 by 84 inches, both exit only and non-handed. The Detex V40EE is a delayed egress device with a 15-second release and 100dB alarm, which is a different function than a fire door needs.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 vertical rod exit device to the Detex V40EE if the opening does not need delayed egress?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, in the 88 Series, built for 1-3/4 inch doors. It is a straight exit-only panic device without the 15-second release delay or the 100dB alarm the Detex V40EE carries, so it suits an opening that must simply free-egress on push. The V40EE is the choice where the exit has to hold for 15 seconds and sound locally before releasing.
8) I have a wide stile aluminum storefront door - which vertical rod exit device fits?
Both the Von Duprin 8827-3FT and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are listed for wide stile applications; the ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 36 inch surface vertical rod device in the ED-500 Series, exit only, and the 8827-3FT is Grade 1 in the 88 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex V40EE is field-sizeable and non-handed and fits doors with 3-1/2 inch or wider stiles across wood, aluminum, fiberglass, and hollow metal at 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch thickness, so it also covers storefront work when delayed egress is required.
9) Will a standard panic exit device stop shopping carts or wandering residents from going out a side door?
No. Devices such as the Marks USA M9900VR, the Cal-Royal 9860, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are exit only panic hardware, which means a push on the bar releases the door immediately. Only the Detex V40EE in this group holds the door for a 15-second delay with a 100dB local alarm sounding during that period, with fire alarm connection for immediate override, which is why it is specified for retail loss prevention and memory care and assisted living openings.
10) How much abuse will the Detex V40EE take on a high traffic retail exit?
Rated to withstand more than 1,400 lbs of static pull force, which is the number that matters when the delay is running and someone is hauling on the door. The rail is aluminum with a ribbed extrusion and an angled end cap for impact deflection. BHMA Grade 1 is the top commercial durability tier.
11) Do I need to specify handing when I order a Detex V40EE?
No handing to specify. The V40EE chassis is non-handed, so one part number works left or right hand, and you only choose the 36 inch or 48 inch device width. That matters for a property manager standardizing across a building, one stock item covers both swings.
12) Can the Detex V40EE be set fail safe so the door unlocks if power drops?
Fail secure and fail safe are configurable during setup, so you set the behavior to suit the opening and the local code. Wiring follows Detex diagrams, and after power up you test normal operation, the alarm, and any integration with the access control or fire alarm system before signing it off.
13) Is a Grade 2 vertical rod device like the Cal-Royal 9860 an alternative to the Detex V40EE?
The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device, exit only, Grade 2, and not fire rated. The Detex V40EE is BHMA Grade 1 and ANSI A156.3 certified and adds delayed egress with a 15-second release and 100dB alarm. If a facility standard calls for Grade 1 hardware or the opening has to hold before release, the 9860 does not fill that role; it is the choice for a straightforward exit-only opening at Grade 2.
14) What is a simpler vertical rod exit device for a 48 inch door than the Detex V40EE?
The Marks USA M9900VR at 48 by 84 inches is an exit only vertical rod panic device covering the same door width as the 48 inch Detex V40EE. It gives push-to-exit operation with no release delay and no local alarm; the V40EE adds a 15-second delay and 100dB alarm and needs power, since it ships without a power supply and is wired to a controller or logic power system.
