Dortronics WR5276-HD22 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Dortronics WR5276-HD22 push button hold up outdoors or in a wash down area?
That's what the WR5276-HD22 is built for. The button is sealed to IP65, which means protected against water projected from a nozzle from any direction, so exterior entries, parking decks, kitchens and wash down areas are within its rating. The actuator and plate are brushed stainless steel, and a neoprene gasket ships with it to seal the switch plate against the wall or box. Operating temperature range runs -25C to 70C.
2) Can one Dortronics WR5276 button both cut power to a maglock and signal the access control panel at the same time?
Yes, and that's the reason to pick this button over a single-pole switch. It carries dual Form Z contacts: two normally open and two normally closed, on a floating common, so the circuits stay isolated from each other. Typical wiring is the normally closed side breaking lock power while the normally open side sends the request-to-exit signal to the panel. Contacts are rated 2A at 24VDC and 2A at 125VAC, which covers a maglock or strike drawing within that range directly through the button.
3) What size wall plate does the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 come on, and can I get a narrow or two gang plate?
As supplied the WR5276-HD22 is mounted on a single gang plate. Two other plate sizes are offered by prefix: an "N" narrow plate at 1-3/4 x 4-1/2 inches, which is what you want on a mullion or narrow jamb, and a "D" two gang plate at 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches. Specify the prefix at time of order, since the plate is part of the assembly and not something you swap later.
4) Can the Norton Rixson 503 or 504 replace a Dortronics WR5276-HD22 if two separate circuits have to be switched?
Check the contact arrangement before ordering. The WR5276-HD22 carries dual Form Z contacts - two normally open and two normally closed with a floating common - so one press can drop normally closed lock power while a separate normally open contact signals the access control panel, with the circuits isolated from each other. The Norton Rixson 503 is a single SPDT momentary push switch, and the Norton Rixson 504 is a dual SPDT momentary vestibule switch with a stainless steel face plate. The 504's dual SPDT arrangement covers two circuits; the single-pole 503 gives one transfer contact. Where the design calls for isolated normally open and normally closed pairs on a floating common, that is the WR5276-HD22 configuration.
5) Is a Schlage Electronics 7764 or 7766 an alternative to a Dortronics WR5276-HD22?
No - they do opposite jobs and are not interchangeable. The WR5276-HD22 is a push button the occupant presses to release the door. The Schlage Electronics 7764 is a magnetic door position switch, concealed flush mount, single pole double throw, and the 7766 is the surface mount version of the same door position switch. A door position switch reports whether the leaf is closed; it does not release anything. A typical exterior opening uses both: the WR5276-HD22 as the exit button and a 7764 or 7766 to tell the panel the door position.
6) The WR5276-HD22 requires the user to touch the button - what request-to-exit device works instead when nobody should contact the plate?
The WR5276-HD22 is a mechanical push button with a 550 gram actuator force, so it only operates when pressed. For a no-contact release, the Locknetics WS-200 and WS-200-MB are flush mount wave switches, the RCI 913 is a microwave motion switch using Doppler radar technology for sterile environments, and the Cal-Royal 8633-SW is a microwave cell switch supplied with single and double gang black faceplates. The RCI 910TC is a touchless actuator with a 433 MHz remote control running on 12/24 VDC. Clean rooms, kitchens, and healthcare corridors typically drive that choice; the WR5276-HD22 remains the pick where a positive, deliberate press is wanted and the plate has to survive wash down.
7) Does the Dortronics WR5276 exit button stay pressed in, or does it spring back?
Both operations are offered on the WR5276 series, so you specify which one you need. Momentary makes contact only while the button is held, which is the normal choice for a request-to-exit or a door release. Alternate-action latches the state on each press, which suits holding a lock released or keeping a circuit switched until someone presses again. The standard WR5276-HD22 configuration is a double pole normally open momentary-style switch on a single gang plate.
8) Can I get a red/green status light on the Dortronics WR5276 button, and what does it take to drive it?
An optional bi-color LED ring is available around the button, red or green. It can show switch status or be driven independently by another device such as the access control panel. If you want it to switch between red and green to indicate status, you need the optional 4801RB610 relay, which is a separate order. The ring runs on 24VDC, 120 mA peak, 20 mA operating current, so size the low voltage supply with that in mind.
9) How do I get a 15 or 30 second unlock delay out of a Dortronics WR5276 exit button for NFPA code compliance?
Order the button with the optional timer rather than adding an external one. The FT option gives a fixed 30 second unlock time, and the AT option is adjustable from 2 to 60 seconds. Dortronics lists these for compliance with NFPA and BOCA codes. Decide which one you need before the order goes in, since the timer is built into the switch assembly.
10) Push button or touchless actuator for a request to exit, and which should I use in a clean or sterile area?
A sealed mechanical button like the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 is the choice where the device takes weather, hose down, or abuse, because the IP65 seal and stainless face tolerate what a sensor housing will not. Where you do not want anyone touching the device at all, ZenSupply carries no-contact alternatives: the RCI 913 microwave motion switch, described for sterile environments, and the RCI 910TC touchless actuator with a 433 MHz remote. For a concealed release at a reception desk rather than a wall button, look at the Locknetics CSW-100 / CSW-200 flush mount concealed desk release.
11) I need an ADA-marked exit button instead of a plain stainless one. What does ZenSupply have?
The Dortronics WR5276-HD22 is a plain brushed stainless button and its plate legends are text only, xE1 through xE5 plus custom text, so no accessibility logo. For a marked handicap actuator, the RCI 916 Series tamper-resistant push button carries a handicap logo in blue at 1-3/4 inches. Use the Dortronics where the opening is exposed to weather and the RCI 916 where the button needs the accessibility symbol on it.
12) Does the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 need a separate device to add a code-compliant unlock delay, or is there a switch that includes timing?
On the WR5276-HD22 the delay is an option on the switch itself: an FT timer gives a fixed 30 second unlock time and the AT option is adjustable from 2 to 60 seconds, offered for compliance with NFPA and BOCA codes. If a timer is wanted on an interior plate instead, the Locknetics TS-100 is a dual LED status indicator touch switch with a programmable timer. Note the LED behavior on the Dortronics: the bi-color red/green ring runs on 24VDC, and switching it between red and green for status requires the #4801RB610 relay.
13) For a request-to-exit signal on an existing cylindrical lock, is a wall-mounted button like the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 the right approach?
It depends on where the signal has to originate. The WR5276-HD22 mounts in a gang box at the wall - standard 1 gang, with an N narrow plate at 1-3/4 by 4-1/2 inches or a D two gang plate at 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches - and gives a deliberate, labeled press with legends such as Push to exit or Emergency door release. If the request to exit instead has to come from the lever itself, the Command Access REXKIT-CL is a field installable request to exit switch kit for CL180 series cylindrical locks in an SPDT configuration, and the Locknetics CSW-100 and CSW-200 are flush mount concealed desk releases with an SPDT switch for a receptionist-controlled release. Many jobs use a lock-mounted REX for the signal and a wall button for the manual release.
14) What text can I get engraved on a Dortronics WR5276 push button plate?
Five standard legends are offered, each by suffix: xE1 "Push to exit", xE2 "Panic", xE3 "Emergency release", xE4 "Push to release", xE5 "Emergency door release". xE6 is custom text. Custom plates and custom text are made to specification. If you are standardizing exits across a building, pick one legend and repeat it, since the text is applied to the plate at manufacture and cannot be changed in the field.
15) How hard do you have to push the Dortronics WR5276 button, and is it usable with gloves on?
Actuator force is 550 +/-50 gram-force on a 3/4 inch diameter brushed stainless actuator. That is a deliberate press rather than a light touch, which is what you want on an exterior or industrial opening where a brush past the plate should not release the door, and the 3/4 inch stainless head is large enough to hit with a gloved hand.
16) If the door needs an audible warning rather than a release button, what should be ordered alongside a Dortronics WR5276-HD22?
Those are two different functions. The WR5276-HD22 switches contacts rated 2A at 24VDC and 2A at 125VAC and can carry an optional bi-color LED ring for visual indication of switch status. For an audible warning at the same opening, the RCI 903 series is an audible alert with a tamper-resistant design at 80-96dB. A common pairing on a monitored exterior door is the WR5276-HD22 for the release with the 903 providing the sounder, since the Dortronics indication is visual only.
17) For an ADA-marked push plate at an accessible entrance, does the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 or the RCI 916 fit better?
The RCI 916 is a tamper-resistant push button switch carrying the handicap logo in blue on a 1-3/4 inch plate, so it arrives marked for an accessible entrance. The WR5276-HD22 uses a 5/8 inch round stainless actuator and offers five standard text legends - Push to exit, Panic, Emergency release, Push to release, Emergency door release - plus custom plates and text made to specification. Where the marking must be the blue accessibility symbol, the 916 supplies it as standard; where the button also has to be IP65 sealed against wash down with a neoprene gasket, the WR5276-HD22 is the one built for the exposure.
