Dortronics 5215-SPB Series Exit Release 1-1/2" Square Illuminated Push Button, Singe Gang Plate

The 5215-SPB series push button assemblies provide a clearly visible means of actuating electric locking release. These easy to operate, request-to exit controls are ideal for use in any facility with access controlled entry/exit.

Features:

  • Standard Single Gang Mounting: These push button switches are supplied with a brushed stainless steel plate for mounting on a standard single gang 2" x 4" electrical box. The switch contact block requires only 2-1/4" depth within the mounting cavity.
  • Illuminated Square Actuator Button: The 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" illuminated button can be easily recognized when powered. The lamp is rated at 28 VDC for long life.
  • LED Status Indicator: A red LED is available, as an option, to be mounted above the square actuator button. This can be utilized to provide indication of door lock status.
  • Heavy Duty Contacts: The SPDT contacts on the momentary action switch are rated for 10 amps at 125/250 VAC. Color coded, 7" leads are easily connected to field wiring.
  • Optional Text Graphic: The illuminated actuator button is also available with "Exit" text. The block lettering in black is clearly visible against the green background when the back-light is on or off.
  • NFPA/BOCA Code Compliance: An optional FT-timer is available for use with R-E-X motion detector applications requiring compliance with NFPA and BOCA codes. These units provide a fixed 30 second unlock time whenever the push button actuator is depressed and then released.
  • Economical Switch Control: This low-cost push button control will meet the requirements of most access control systems for request-to-exit devices. The illuminated square button is highly visible recognized exit device.

Dortronics 5215-SPB-E1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size electrical box does the Dortronics 5215-SPB exit push button mount to?
It mounts to a standard single gang 2 x 4 inch electrical box, and comes with a brushed stainless steel plate measuring 2-3/4 inches wide by 4-1/2 inches high. The critical number for rough-in is depth: the switch contact block needs 2-1/4 inches of clear cavity behind the plate, so a shallow box or a stud cavity packed with conduit will not take it.
2) What is the closest alternative to the Dortronics 5215-SPB exit push button from another manufacturer?
The Alarm Controls EB Series request to exit egress station is the closest like-for-like alternative. Both are wall-mounted request-to-exit push button stations used to release an electric lock at an access controlled opening. The Dortronics 5215-SPB uses a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated momentary actuator on a brushed stainless steel single gang plate that mounts to a standard 2 inch by 4 inch electrical box and needs 2-1/4 inch of depth behind the plate, with SPDT contacts rated 10 amps at 125/250 VAC and 7 inch color coded leads. If you are standardizing a building on one look, confirm the EB station plate size matches the boxes already in the walls before mixing the two.
3) Does the 5215-SPB meet NFPA and BOCA requirements for request-to-exit?
For REX motion detector applications that have to comply with NFPA and BOCA codes, Dortronics offers an optional FT-timer for the 5215 series. It gives a fixed 30 second unlock time each time the button is pressed and released. That timing option is what addresses the code requirement; the base button on its own simply signals the release.
4) Can I get a door lock status indicator light with this Dortronics exit button?
An optional red LED mounts above the square actuator on the 5215 plate, and it's typically wired to show lock status. It's a standard red diffused T-1-3/4 LED with twin leads, 28 VDC maximum. It is an option rather than standard, so it has to be specified when ordering.
5) What other request-to-exit push button stations could I use instead of the Dortronics 5215-SPB?
Alarm Controls is the usual cross-reference. The K Series momentary push button covers the same basic job of a momentary contact release station. The EB Series request-to-exit egress stations are the broader egress line. If the opening needs delayed egress instead of straight release, the Alarm Controls DE-1 is a 2 inch square green/red push button with a delayed exit timer. For hazardous locations, the EXP Series explosion resistant request-to-exit stations are the ones to look at rather than a standard gang plate button.
6) Is there a simpler, non-illuminated push button I can use in place of the Dortronics 5215-SPB?
Yes. The Alarm Controls K Series momentary push button is a plain momentary switch accessory with no illuminated actuator. The Dortronics 5215-SPB carries a 1-1/2 inch square illuminated button with a 28 VDC maximum incandescent lamp and an optional red LED status indicator above the button for door lock status, plus the option of black "Exit" lettering on a green background. If the button sits in a lit corridor and you do not need lock status feedback at the door, the K Series covers the switching; if you want the exit point visible in low light or want a lock status LED, stay with the 5215-SPB.
7) Can the Dortronics 5215-SPB be used in a hazardous or explosion rated area?
No - for that environment specify the Alarm Controls EXP Series explosion resistant request to exit stations instead. The Dortronics 5215-SPB is a standard commercial interior exit release built on a brushed stainless steel single gang plate for a 2 inch by 4 inch electrical box, with no explosion resistant rating behind it. In a fuel room, paint booth, or classified area, the EXP Series is the one to put on the submittal.
8) Will an Alarm Controls K Series button drop into the same box as a Dortronics 5215-SPB?
Do not assume it will. The Dortronics 5215-SPB comes as a complete assembly - a single gang brushed stainless steel plate measuring 2-3/4 inches wide by 4-1/2 inches high, with the contact block taking 2-1/4 inches of depth in the cavity. The Alarm Controls K Series is catalogued as a momentary push button accessory rather than a finished plate assembly, so on a retrofit into an existing single gang box, the 5215-SPB is the direct plate-for-plate swap and the K Series should be checked against your plate and cavity depth first.
9) Is the button on the Dortronics 5215 readable when the power is off?
Yes. The "Push to Exit" lettering is black block type on a green background, and it reads against that background whether the back-light is on or off. When powered, the 1-1/2 inch square actuator lights up so it's picked out easily in a corridor or a dim vestibule. The lamp runs at 28 VDC for lamp life.
10) Is the Dortronics 5215-SPB suitable for commercial building use?
It's built as a commercial electronic access control device, not a residential fitting. The stainless plate, the 10 amp SPDT contact block and the single gang mounting are aimed at facilities with access controlled entry and exit points, offices, schools, healthcare corridors, and multi-family common doors where a visible exit release is needed at each opening.
