DynaLock 6300 Series Audible Annunciator, 6-28 VDC

The 6300 is a request-to-exit push button control from DynaLock's 6000 Series with an audible indicator built in. The 6000 Series gives you REX switching in several configurations, and monitoring is handled by optional illuminated or audible indicators. On the 6300 the audible piece is the point: someone hits the palm switch to release the mag lock, and the annunciator sounds so staff hear that the door was released rather than having to watch an LED across the room. It runs on 6 to 28 VDC, so it drops onto the same low-voltage supply feeding the lock in most access control jobs.

Only if you order it on the narrow plate. The 6300 is offered with a narrow plate option measuring 1-3/4 inches wide, which is what you want on an aluminum door stile or a narrow jamb face. The standard plate is wider and is meant for a drywall box or a wide mullion. Glass front installers should be specifying the narrow plate version by default; there is no field trimming the standard plate to fit.

Three, and they combine freely across eight orderable builds. You choose whether you want the anti-tamper switch, whether you want the bi-color red/green LED at 12/24 VDC, and whether you want the narrow 1-3/4 inch wide plate instead of the standard plate. Everything ships brushed stainless steel US32D with a red button as standard, so finish and button color are not decisions you make on the order form.

Maintained. The 6300 is an alternate action (A-A) switch, so one press latches it and the next press releases it. That is the right behavior for a door you want to hold unlocked, such as a lobby or a delivery entrance during business hours. If you need the door to relock the instant the hand comes off the plate, an alternate action switch is the wrong choice and you want a momentary button instead, like the RCI 950 Series round push plate or the Securitron PB3.

Several, and they split by how the button behaves and how it mounts. For another maintained-action button, the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button comes with red EXIT text and maintained operation. For a narrow frame where mounting room is tight, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch. For an emergency release station rather than a routine REX, look at the Securitron EEB with interchangeable LED lenses or the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER marked Emergency Release. For an illuminated round button, the Securitron PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button and the PB4L has an illuminated halo around a stainless button. None of those carry the 6300's audible annunciator, though, so if the sounder is the reason you are buying, stay on the 6300.

The DynaLock 6300 is a request to exit control in the 6000 Series, with monitoring by optional illuminated or audible indicators. For an opening that calls for a marked emergency release rather than a general REX push, the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is a pushbutton switch marked "Emergency Release", and the Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses. Both are dedicated emergency release devices; the DynaLock 6300 is a palm switch pushbutton control with audible annunciation.

The DynaLock 6300 is offered with a narrow plate option 1-3/4 inches wide for tight mounting. Where a separate narrow style device is preferred, the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch built for the same kind of stile mounting. The difference to weigh is that the 6300 carries audible annunciation for monitoring the exit, while the Trine 342 is a plain door switch.

They are not the same device. The DynaLock 6300 is a palm switch pushbutton with audible annunciation, available with an anti-tamper switch and a bi-color red/green LED at 12/24 VDC. The RCI 908 Series RCI-908-RE-MA 32D is an electronic exit button with red EXIT text and maintained operation, and the RCI 919 Series RCI-919-MA 28 is a rotary release button with maintained operation in satin aluminum. A maintained button holds its state after the push; specify the DynaLock 6300 by the A-A alternate action maintained configuration if that is the switching behavior the panel expects.

They are different devices for different jobs. The RCI 909 Series RCI-909F-MO is a flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish, so it is a line voltage rocker. The DynaLock 6300 is a low voltage device running 6-28 VDC in brushed stainless steel US32D. Match the switch to the voltage and finish the rest of the opening is running before substituting one for the other.

It is for exposed openings where someone could get behind the plate. The anti-tamper switch is an add-on you specify when ordering the 6300, and it gives your panel a contact that reports the plate being pulled off the box. Schools, public corridors, detention adjacent spaces and any exterior-facing REX station are where it earns its keep. Interior offices behind a controlled door usually skip it.

Depends on whether anyone is looking at the door. DynaLock's 6000 Series handles monitoring with either illuminated or audible indicators, and the 6300 is the audible one. Pick audible when the person who needs to know the door released is not in line of sight, such as a receptionist around a corner or a nurse station down the hall. Pick a purely illuminated button when the space is quiet and a sounder would be a nuisance, for instance a library or a patient room corridor. You can have both on the 6300 by adding the bi-color red/green LED option to it.

It ships brushed stainless steel US32D, which is the standard satin stainless you see on almost every commercial push plate and door pull, so it reads the same as the rest of a satin stainless opening. The button itself is red as standard. If you are standardizing a building and want the same satin stainless look from another brand, the RCI 950 Series round push plate is offered in satin stainless as well.

No. A push button is an open-access control, meaning anyone standing at the door can press it. If you only want authorized staff changing the door's state, use a keyswitch instead, such as the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch, which requires a cylinder and a key to operate. Common pattern in a facility: keyswitch on the staff side for lockdown or day-unlock control, and a 6300 REX button on the egress side so anyone leaving can get out.

Yes, that combination is built. The narrow 1-3/4 inch plate is offered together with the bi-color red/green LED, and you can add the anti-tamper switch to that same build if you want all three. So a tight aluminum stile does not force you to give up the visual indicator alongside the audible one.

The DynaLock 6300 is the audible annunciator model of the 6000 Series and runs on 6-28 VDC. If the opening needs nothing more than a momentary release push, the Securitron PB3 Series push buttons and the RCI 950 Series round push plate, a momentary switch in satin stainless steel with a handicap symbol, both cover a straight momentary release without an audible indicator.

The DynaLock 6300 is a pushbutton style control and anyone at the door can press it. Where release has to be restricted to keyholders, the ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch from the 1300 Series, which mounts as a keyed device rather than a push plate. Property managers standardizing a fleet of doors often run keyswitches on the doors staff control and DynaLock 6300 palm switches where free egress is required.

The DynaLock 6300 answers that with its bi-color red/green LED option at 12/24 VDC, on top of the audible annunciator. If a fully illuminated button face is what the specification calls for, the Securitron PB4L Series is an illuminated halo with a stainless push button and the Securitron PB5 Series is a medium round illuminated push button. Those give visual indication only; the DynaLock 6300 adds the audible indicator for monitoring.

Commercial. The 6300 is built as a commercial access control device, and the 6000 Series exists to serve request-to-exit duty on controlled openings in commercial buildings. It is an electronic device, not a mechanical push plate, so it needs to be wired into a low-voltage access control circuit rather than screwed to a door and forgotten.

The DynaLock 6300 ships in brushed stainless steel US32D as its standard finish with a red standard button color. On the comparable side, the RCI 950 Series round push plate is a satin stainless steel momentary switch and the Securitron PB4L uses a stainless push button in an illuminated halo. For a satin aluminum opening instead, the RCI 919 Series RCI-919-MA 28 is a rotary release button in satin aluminum.
