DynaLock 7078 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is the DynaLock 7078 and does it include the break glass station itself?
The 7078 is a spare SPDT contact block for DynaLock 7075 Series break glass exit stations. It is the switching element only, not a complete station. Order it when the contact block in an existing 7075 break glass unit has failed or when you want a spare on the shelf for a facility running these stations on egress doors.
2) Is a break glass station the right choice, or should I use a push button for emergency egress release?
A break glass unit like the DynaLock 7075 is an auxiliary emergency release, meant to be a deliberate, one-time action that leaves physical evidence someone used it. A push button is for routine release. If you want a pushbutton instead, ZenSupply carries the Securitron EEB Emergency Exit Push Button with interchangeable LED lenses and the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch marked "Emergency Release". For everyday request-to-exit, look at the Securitron PB3 or the RCI 950 Series round push plate.
3) Is the DynaLock 7078 contact block a complete emergency release station, or do I need a full unit?
The 7078 is a spare SPDT contact block for the DynaLock 7075 series break glass exit stations, rated momentary 6 amps at 125VAC and furnished with 5 spare glass lenses. It is a replacement component, not a finished station. If the opening needs a complete emergency release device instead, the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses and the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch marked Emergency Release are both self-contained emergency release units.
4) We want a release device that does not use breakable glass. What should I look at instead of the DynaLock 7075/7078 assembly?
The 7078 contact block serves DynaLock 7075 break glass exit stations, which release egress doors by breaking a glass lens. For a no-glass release, the RCI 919 series rotary release button with maintained operation in satin aluminum and the RCI 908 series electronic exit button with red EXIT text and maintained operation are both mechanically actuated exit devices with no lens to replace.
5) Can I wire the 7078 to both drop a maglock and trigger an alarm?
Yes. The block is SPDT-DB, Form Z, which gives you a transfer contact set: one path opens while the other closes on actuation. Wire the normally closed side in series with the maglock power and use the normally open side as a dry contact to the alarm or access control panel. It is momentary rated, so the release follows the actuation rather than latching electrically.
6) Will the DynaLock 7078 work with a break glass station that has an LED or an audible alarm?
The 7075 Series break glass assembly is ordered in three versions: standard, standard with LED indicator, or standard with audible. The 7078 is the contact block used in the series, so identify which version your station is before you order, since the LED and audible versions carry additional components beyond the contact block itself.
7) Does the 7078 come with replacement glass lenses?
Yes, it ships with five spare glass lenses. That matters for a property manager or MRO stock room, because after a break glass station is actuated the lens is consumed and the door stays released until it is replaced. Five spares cover several activations at one opening or one activation across several openings.
8) I need a switch rated higher than 6 amps. What else do you carry?
The 7078 contact block tops out at 6 amps at 125VAC. If you need more headroom, the RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC at 10A. Note it is a rocker, not a break glass device, so it is a different kind of release, not a drop-in substitute for a 7075 station.
9) I need a momentary release switch for a different opening, not a 7075 replacement part. What are the options?
The 7078 contacts are SPDT momentary rated 6 amps at 125VAC, intended for the DynaLock 7075 assembly. For a standalone momentary release, the RCI 909 series flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish, the RCI 950 series round push plate with handicap symbol is a momentary switch in satin stainless steel, and the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch.
10) If I want the release restricted to authorized staff rather than open to anyone, what replaces a break glass station?
The DynaLock 7075 break glass assembly the 7078 contact block belongs to is an auxiliary emergency egress release anyone can actuate by breaking the lens. Where access needs to be restricted to key holders, the ACSI 1310-1 mortise keyswitch of the 1300 series is a key-operated switch instead of a push or break device.
11) Does a Securitron push button substitute for the DynaLock 7078 contact block?
No. The 7078 is a spare SPDT contact block that fits into the DynaLock 7075 break glass exit station housing, which measures 6-3/4 inches by 4-1/2 inches. Securitron PB3, PB4L illuminated halo with stainless push button, and PB5 medium round illuminated push button are complete push button devices with their own housings, so they replace a station rather than repair one.
12) How big is the DynaLock 7075 break glass station this contact block goes into?
The break glass assembly measures 6-3/4 x 4-1/2 inches. Use that footprint when you are planning wall space beside an egress door or confirming the replacement station will cover an existing backbox opening.
13) Is the DynaLock 7078 suitable for commercial buildings?
It is a commercial door hardware item, part of an electronic access control assembly. It belongs on egress openings in commercial and institutional buildings where the maglock or electric lock needs an auxiliary emergency release path.
14) Our station needs an ADA-style actuator at the same opening. Is there a comparable?
The DynaLock 7078 contact block supports the 7075 break glass station and is not itself an actuator plate. For an accessible actuator, the RCI 950 series round push plate carries a handicap symbol and is a momentary switch in satin stainless steel.
