DynaLock 6285 Series Ring LED Illuminated Push Button, Dual Mode MOM/A-A, Form “Z” 12/24 VDC

The 6285 gives you both switching behaviors in one button. MOM is momentary, so the contacts transfer only while the button is pressed, which is the normal request-to-exit action for releasing a maglock. A-A is alternate action, or maintained, so one press latches the state and the next press returns it. That lets the same button work either as a REX or as a hold-open/lockdown toggle depending on how you wire and configure it.

Form Z is a double-throw contact set that gives you both a normally open and a normally closed path in the same switch. On the 6285 that means one button can break power to a magnetic lock on the N/C side while simultaneously signaling an access panel or alarm shunt on the N/O side, with no second device on the wall. If your panel only needs a dry N/O input, you simply leave the other pole unused.

Order the narrow plate option. The 6285 is offered with a 1-3/4 inch wide narrow plate, which is what you want on an aluminum glass door stile or a tight jamb. Without that option you get the standard wider plate, which suits a drywall single-gang location or a wide stile.

Two choices. First, anti-tamper switch, yes or no. Second, narrow plate at 1-3/4 inches wide, yes or no. That is four buildable combinations, including narrow plate with the tamper switch. Everything else is fixed: brushed stainless US32D plate, red button, ring LED, dual mode MOM/A-A, Form Z, 12/24 VDC.

No. The 6285 is a push button switch you press with a fingertip, with a ring LED around it. The RCI 950HP is a round push plate with a handicap symbol and momentary switching, which is the large actuator a user strikes with a palm or elbow at a barrier-free opening. If the drawing calls for an accessible actuator, the push plate is the item, not the button.

The DynaLock 6285 is a ring LED illuminated push button in brushed stainless steel US32D. The closest cross-brand match in form is the Securitron PB4L, an illuminated halo push button with a stainless button, which uses the same lit-ring-around-a-button layout. The Securitron PB5 is another illuminated option, described as a medium round illuminated push button, so it suits a round plate opening rather than a rectangular one.

The 6285 is offered on a narrow plate 1-3/4 inch wide, which covers most narrow stile work. If the opening still will not take it, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch built for that condition.

The 6285 is a request to exit control with a ring LED and no legend. For a marked emergency device, the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is a pushbutton switch marked "Emergency Release" with momentary action, and the Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses. The RCI 908 with red EXIT text and maintained operation carries an EXIT legend instead.

It adds a monitored contact that reports if the plate is pried or removed from the wall. On a secured exit or a lockdown-capable opening, that contact runs back to the panel so an attempt to get behind the button and short the wires raises an alarm instead of quietly releasing the door. Skip it on ordinary interior REX locations; specify it on exterior, public-corridor, or detention-adjacent openings.

No, and the difference matters if the AHJ is looking for legible exit signage. The 6285 is a ring LED illuminated button, so the halo around the red button shows status, but the plate carries no emergency wording. If you need marked text or a dedicated emergency release, look at the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text, or the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch marked Emergency Release.

Several in the same class. The Securitron PB4L Series is an illuminated halo with a stainless push button, closest in concept to the 6285's ring LED. The Securitron PB5 Series is a medium round illuminated push button if you want a larger target. The Securitron EEB emergency exit push button takes interchangeable LED lenses for color coding. For a very tight stile, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch. If you want a maintained rotary instead of a push, the RCI 919 Series rotary release button is a maintained device in satin aluminum.

A push button like the 6285 can be pressed by anyone who can reach it, so it is the wrong device where release must be restricted. For keyed control, the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch from the 1300 Series gives you a cylinder-operated switch that only a keyholder can actuate.

The 6285 carries a ring LED for monitoring the switch state. If you do not need that indication, the Securitron PB3 series push buttons are a non-illuminated push button option, and the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch that suits tight frame mullions. Both give you the switching without the lit ring.

The 6285 is dual mode, so it can be set momentary or A-A alternate action, meaning it maintains. If you want a device that is maintained only, the RCI 908 with red EXIT text runs maintained operation, the RCI 919 is a rotary release button with maintained operation in satin aluminum, and the RCI 909F-MO is a flush mount rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A, though that one is specified momentary.

The standard plate finish is brushed stainless steel US32D, which is the common satin stainless used on commercial door hardware, so it lines up with satin stainless levers, push plates and trim. The button itself is red. If your existing openings are satin aluminum rather than stainless, the tone will read slightly different next to them.

It is built for commercial use. The 6285 is a commercial-grade electronic access control device meant to be integrated with a panel, power supply and electric lock, and it is not a standalone residential doorbell or switch. It will function in a home with the right low-voltage system behind it, but the application it is made for is a commercial opening.

The 6285 is a commercial push button with a brushed stainless US32D plate, styled for public-facing openings. In a back-of-house space where appearance is not the driver, the RCI 909F-MO is a flush mount rocker switch in a beige finish rated 250VAC 10A, which is a toggling rocker rather than a stainless button.
