Dortronics 7286 Series Door Prop Alarm on 1 Gang Plate with LED and Piezo Audio Alarm

The 7286-PT series of door prop alarms provide an audible warning sounder, at the door, if it is not closed within a specified time. Upon a forced door condition or if the door has not been closed during the warning period, an alarm relay is activated and can be utilized to signal other monitoring systems. A piezo alert is also sounded locally.

Features:

  • Universal Operation: Opening the door, or an authorized rex will activate the PT timer. If the opening is forced an immediate alarm is sounded and signaled to monitoring systems. The allowed door open timer starts upon an authorized door opening. If the door has not closed at the end of this period, a local warning period begins. If the door remains unsecured past this time period, then an alarm condition is triggered. When supplied with the optional push button, a second set of momentary switch contacts are available to provide a R-E-X signal to an access control system.
  • Adjustable Exit Time Period: The allowed "door open" time may be set from 0 seconds to 90 minutes. This timer begins when the door has opened and the "door unlock" signal from the access system ceases. A warning will sound if the door has not been closed at the end of the time period.
  • Adjustable Warning Time Period: The "warning" period may be set from 0 seconds to 5 minutes. During this sequence the sounder emits a beeping tone to remind the user to close the door. If the door is not closed before the end of this warning period, then the "door prop" alarm sequence is activated. At this point the alarm relay is activated and the local sounder emits a steady alarm alert. This alarm is continuous until reset one of 3 ways, 1: upon door closure, 2: by auto timed reset, 3: manual reset by key switch, digital keypad or other N.O. device The use of a door position switch is required.
  • Compact Mounting Styles: The Dortronics PT door prop modules are available in any of the #7286 series single or double gang wall plate designs. The single plate will accommodate the PT module with sounder and LED. When used with mushroom pushbuttons or key switches a double gang plate is required.
  • LED Indicator: A tri-state LED is provided for a visual indication of the door prop alarm condition. The LED is green when the door is secured, amber during door unlock/shunt, flashing amber when door is open (authorized), flashing red during the warning period, and steady red while in alarm.
  • Economical single door monitoring
  • Adjustable exit time and warning period
  • Visual and audio alarm indication
  • Reliable operation
  • Made in the USA

Models:

  • 7286-PT5: Local door prop alarm module on single gang 2-3/4" x 4-1/2" stainless steel wall plate with tri-color LED and 95 dB piezo audible sounder.
  • 7286-PТ5-24: Local door prop alarm module on double gang 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" stainless steel plate with tri color LED for visual status 95 dB piezo audible sounder. Includes key switch assembly with dual DPDT switches (1-momentary for "reset" and/or "rex" plus 1-maintained for "shunt". One set of contacts from each DPDT switch may be used to also signal an access control system.
  • 7286-PT5-24xK: Same as 7286-PT5-24 above supplied with 1-1/4" mortise cylinder.
  • 7286-PT5-MP23: Local door prop alarm module on double gang 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" stainless steel plate with tri color LED for visual status 95 dB piezo audible sounder. Includes a 1-9/16" dia. momentary push button with 1 set of normally open contacts, 1 set normally closed contacts. Typically the N.C. contact output is used to break power to maglock while the N.O. contact is used to signal the "rex" to an access control system. The lock relay of the card access system is used as the rex input to the 7286-PT5.

Specifications:

  • Onboard Key switch controls shall be momentary & alternate action with DPDT 3 amps@ 125VAC minimum as scheduled. Optional 1-1/4 mortise cylinder as required. Push button switch controls shall be momentary, with 1 set each N.O./N.C. 10 amps @125VAC minimum as scheduled. Push button switch caps shall be at least 1-9/16" in diameter. 7286-PT5 assemblies shall be flush wall mounted to standard, recessed, electrical boxes. Mounting screws shall be slotted oval head stainless steel. Pin in hex head tamper resistant screws shall be supplied where required. Mounting plates shall be constructed of stainless steel in single gang, or double gang as noted, and may be supplied with paint filled engraving.
  • Dry Contact and Powered Outputs: In addition to the dedicated local sounder driver, a SPDT output is furnished to operate other remote alarm devices. Also a form "C" dry contact is supplied that can be used for signaling an independent monitoring system when an authorized door unlock condition occurs.
  • Request to Exit: A single R-E-X input controls the door lock and alarm outputs. The alarm functions are automatically shunted during an authorized unlock sequence. This allows the door prop alarm to be inhibited during an extended authorized door opening.
  • Alarm Shunt: In this mode upon contact closure the unit will not go into either warning or alarm. The rex input still functions as usual.
  • Manual or Automatic Alarm Reset: Typically, the door prop alarm is silenced and reset upon door closing. If no one is available to acknowledge alarms, a timed automatic reset may be engaged to silence the alarm after a preset period of from 0 seconds to 5 minutes, if the door remains in the open position. In the manual reset mode, the audio alarm will sound continuously, even after the door is closed. This manual reset mode requires reset by input from a normally open momentary contact such as a key switch or digital keypad to silence the alarm.

Dortronics 7286-PT5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Dortronics 7286-PT5 door prop alarm fit a standard single gang electrical box?
Yes. The 7286-PT5 mounts flush to a standard recessed single gang electrical box, on a 2-3/4 x 4-1/2 inch stainless steel plate. The single gang plate holds the prop timer module, the tri-color LED and the 95 dB piezo sounder and nothing else. If you also want a key switch or a mushroom push button on the same plate, you need a double gang box and a double gang version instead. Mounting screws are slotted oval head stainless, with pin-in-hex tamper resistant screws supplied where required.
2) Do I need a door position switch for a Dortronics 7286 prop alarm to work?
Yes, a door position switch is required. The 7286-PT module has no way to know the door state on its own, so the contact is what starts the open timer, silences the alarm on closure, and tells the unit a forced door has occurred. Budget for a DPS on every opening you put a prop alarm on. You also feed it a rex input, typically the lock relay of the card access system, so the alarm shunts during an authorized unlock.
3) How long can a door be held open before the Dortronics 7286-PT5 sounds?
Two timers stack, and both are field adjustable. The allowed door open time runs from 0 seconds to 90 minutes and starts when the door opens and the unlock signal from the access system drops. If the door is still open at the end of that, a warning period of 0 seconds to 5 minutes begins with a beeping tone. Only after the warning expires does the prop alarm latch: relay energized and a steady tone at the door. For a loading dock you can set a long open time; for a stair or perimeter door, set both short.
4) Can a Dortronics 7286 door prop alarm signal my access control system or head end, or is it only a local sounder?
It does both. Besides the dedicated local sounder driver, an SPDT output is furnished to drive other remote alarm devices, and a separate form C dry contact signals an independent monitoring system when an authorized door unlock occurs. So the alarm relay can go back to a panel or annunciator while the piezo handles the person standing at the door. That is what separates it from a battery powered standalone unit like the Detex EAX-300W.
5) What is the difference between the 7286-PT5 and the 7286-PT5-MP23?
Same prop alarm module, different plate and control. The MP23 is a double gang 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch stainless plate that adds a 1-9/16 inch diameter momentary push button with one N.O. and one N.C. contact set. In practice the N.C. contact breaks power to a maglock for egress while the N.O. contact sends rex to the access panel. If your opening is a maglock that needs a push-to-exit at the door, order the MP23. If the exit device or card reader already handles egress and you only need the prop alarm and indicator, the single gang 7286-PT5 is the one.
6) Will the Dortronics 7286-PT5 alarm every time someone badges through the door?
No. The rex input shunts the alarm functions automatically during an authorized unlock sequence, so a valid read or an authorized request to exit starts the open timer instead of tripping an alarm. A forced door, meaning the door opens with no authorized unlock, sounds immediately and signals the monitoring output right away. There is also a dedicated alarm shunt mode: hold that input closed and the unit will not go to warning or alarm at all, while rex keeps working normally. That is the mode for propping a door open during a move-in or a delivery window.
7) What is the difference between the Dortronics 7286-PT5 door prop alarm and the Detex EAX-300W?
Both are door prop alarms, but they solve the problem in different ways. The Dortronics 7286-PT5 is a hardwired module on a single gang 2-3/4 inch by 4-1/2 inch stainless steel wall plate that flush mounts to a standard recessed electrical box, with a tri-color LED, a 95 dB piezo sounder, an adjustable door open timer from 0 seconds to 90 minutes, an adjustable warning period from 0 seconds to 5 minutes, a REX input that shunts the alarm during an authorized unlock, and both an SPDT output and a form C dry contact for signaling a monitoring system. The Detex EAX-300W is a weatherized battery powered door prop alarm with a 100 dB alert, so it mounts as a self-contained unit at the door rather than into a wall box and does not depend on a power run. Choose the 7286-PT5 when the alarm has to integrate with an access control system and report a prop condition back to a head end; choose the EAX-300W when the opening is exterior and there is no wiring to it.
8) Is the Securitron DPA a direct replacement for a Dortronics 7286-PT5?
The Securitron DPA is a door prop alarm in the DPA Series and covers the same job of alerting when a door is held open, but it is not a plate-for-plate swap for the Dortronics 7286-PT5. The 7286-PT5 is built as a module on a single gang stainless steel wall plate sized 2-3/4 inch by 4-1/2 inch that flush mounts to a standard recessed electrical box, and it carries a tri-state LED that reads green when secured, amber during unlock or shunt, flashing amber when the door is open on an authorized opening, flashing red during the warning period, and steady red in alarm. If the existing opening already has a single gang box at the wall and the crew wants that same status indication and the same REX shunt behavior, stay with the 7286-PT5. If the mounting location is not a wall box, verify the Securitron DPA mounting arrangement against the opening before ordering it as the substitute.
9) For an exterior door with no power run to it, what should I use instead of a hardwired door prop alarm?
Use the Detex EAX-300W, a weatherized battery powered door prop alarm with a 100 dB alert. Because it is battery powered it does not require a circuit pulled to the opening, and the weatherized construction is intended for exposure that an interior wall plate device is not. The Dortronics 7286-PT5 by contrast is a flush wall mounted module on a stainless steel plate that installs to a standard recessed electrical box and drives an SPDT output plus a form C dry contact back to a monitoring system, all of which assumes conduit and power at the opening.
10) What do the LED colors mean on a Dortronics 7286 prop alarm?
The tri-state LED reads out the whole sequence at the door: green means the door is secured, amber means the door is unlocked or shunted, flashing amber means the door is open on an authorized entry, flashing red means you are in the warning period, and steady red means the unit is in alarm. For a property manager doing walk-throughs, green at every plate is the quick check that nothing is propped or shunted.
11) How do you silence a Dortronics 7286 door prop alarm once it goes off?
Three ways: closing the door, a timed automatic reset, or a manual reset from a normally open momentary device such as a key switch or digital keypad. The auto reset can be set from 0 seconds to 5 minutes and silences the sounder even if the door is still standing open, which is what you want on an unstaffed opening. In manual reset mode the audio keeps sounding even after the door closes until somebody acknowledges it, so use that where you want the event physically cleared by staff.
12) Should I use a wired Dortronics 7286 prop alarm or a self-contained battery unit like the Detex EAX-300W?
It comes down to whether the opening is on an access control system. The 7286-PT5 is a flush wall plate module that wires into an electrical box, takes a rex input from the access system, and hands back an alarm relay and a form C contact so the door prop shows up at the head end. The Detex EAX-300W is a battery powered weatherized unit with a 100 dB alert that mounts at the door and stands alone, which suits an exterior or remote opening with no panel and no conduit. The Securitron DPA is another door prop alarm option. For a card-access door where the alarm must shunt on a valid read, the wired 7286 is the fit.
13) If I need a key switch reset or a mushroom push button at the door, does the single gang prop alarm still work?
No, the single gang plate will not carry those. The Dortronics 7286-PT5 single gang plate accommodates the prop alarm module with sounder and LED only; when a mushroom push button or key switch is required, a double gang plate is needed. The 7286-PT5-24 uses a double gang 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch stainless plate with a key switch assembly of dual DPDT switches, one momentary for reset or REX and one maintained for shunt, and the 7286-PT5-24xK adds a 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinder. The 7286-PT5-MP23 is the double gang version with a 1-9/16 inch diameter momentary push button carrying one normally open and one normally closed contact set.
14) Which door prop alarm works with a card access system and a request to exit signal?
The Dortronics 7286-PT5 is the one built for that. It has a single REX input that controls the door lock and alarm outputs and automatically shunts the alarm functions during an authorized unlock sequence, so a valid card read does not trip the prop alarm during an extended opening. It also provides a form C dry contact for signaling an independent monitoring system when an authorized door unlock condition occurs, and an SPDT output to drive remote alarm devices. A door position switch is required. The Detex EAX-300W is a battery powered weatherized unit and the Securitron DPA is a standalone door prop alarm in the DPA Series; confirm their interface arrangements against the access control head end before specifying either where integration is the requirement.
15) Is a battery powered door prop alarm a substitute for one with a monitored alarm relay?
Not if the requirement is reporting. The Detex EAX-300W is a weatherized battery powered door prop alarm with a 100 dB alert, which is a local sounder solution at the opening. The Dortronics 7286-PT5 sounds locally at 95 dB through its piezo but also activates an alarm relay on a forced door condition or an unclosed door, with an SPDT output for remote alarm devices and a form C dry contact for an independent monitoring system, so a prop at that door shows up somewhere other than the door itself. For a facility that needs the prop condition annunciated at a central station, the local-only unit is not an equivalent even though both are described as door prop alarms.
16) I need a simpler standalone door prop alarm without timers to program. What are my options?
Look at the Detex EAX-300W, a weatherized battery powered door prop alarm with a 100 dB alert, or the Securitron DPA door prop alarm in the DPA Series. Both are offered as door prop alarms without the programmable sequencing the Dortronics 7286-PT5 provides, where the allowed door open time is set from 0 seconds to 90 minutes, the warning period from 0 seconds to 5 minutes, and the alarm can reset on door closure, on a timed automatic reset, or manually by key switch or digital keypad. If a fixed local warning at the door is all the opening needs, the adjustable module is more device than the application calls for.
17) What is the switch rating on the Dortronics 7286 key switch and push button options?
The onboard key switch controls are momentary and alternate action, DPDT rated 3 amps at 125VAC minimum. The push button control is momentary with one N.O. and one N.C. set rated 10 amps at 125VAC minimum, and the button cap is at least 1-9/16 inches in diameter. If you are switching maglock power directly through the button rather than through a relay, the 10 amp push button contact is the one to spec.
18) Is the Dortronics 7286-PT5 plate vandal resistant enough for a school or public corridor?
The plate is stainless steel and mounts flush to the box with slotted oval head stainless screws, with pin-in-hex tamper resistant screws supplied where required, so the fasteners can be made non-standard on an accessible corridor. Plates can also be supplied with paint filled engraving if you want the openings labeled consistently across a facility. It is a commercial device, not a residential one.
19) How many doors does one Dortronics 7286-PT5 cover?
One. The 7286-PT5 is a single door monitoring module: one door position input, one rex input, one local sounder and LED, one alarm relay. For a stairwell or a run of exterior doors you order one plate per opening and run each alarm output back to whatever is monitoring the building.
