Locknetics PPH-200-LED – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of switch is inside the Locknetics PPH-200-LED push plate, and can it run a door operator?
The PPH-200-LED uses a S.P.D.T. (single pole, double throw) switch behind a stainless steel faceplate. A SPDT gives you both a normally open and a normally closed contact off one common, so you can wire it to trigger a low energy door operator, release an electric strike or maglock, or feed a request-to-exit input, depending on which pair of contacts you land on.
2) I need a push plate that holds the door open for a set time after it is pressed. Does the Locknetics PPH-200-LED do that?
No. The PPH-200-LED is a straight momentary SPDT switch with LED indication; any hold-open timing has to come from the door operator or an external timer. If you want the delay built into the plate itself, look at the Alarm Controls PD Series pneumatic time delay vandal resistant push plates, or the Alarm Controls JP Series pneumatic time delay jumbo plate.
3) I have a vestibule with two sets of doors. Is a single PPH-200-LED plate the right choice?
For a straight single-door actuation, yes, the PPH-200-LED works. But a vestibule where one press needs to sequence both door sets is a different product: SDC's 480V Series vestibule push plate actuators use dual switch activation for exactly that arrangement. If the approach is an exterior walkway with no wall to mount on, SDC BP Series square bollard posts (6 inch by 6 inch, BPS6 surface mount 42 inch or BPG6 in-ground 54 inch) carry the actuator instead.
4) What is a comparable square stainless steel push plate actuator to the Locknetics PPH-200-LED?
The SDC 480 Series push plate actuators are the closest straight equivalent, built with 18 gauge stainless steel construction like the PPH-200-LED's stainless steel faceplate. The Locknetics unit differs in that it is an illuminated dual color plate supplied with a black box and an S.P.D.T. switch, so if the dual color LED indication is part of the sequence of operation you are wiring, the PPH-200-LED carries it and the 480 Series is specified as a plain actuator.
5) I need a round exit push switch instead of a square plate - what should I use?
Camden's CM-40 Series is a 4-1/2 inch round all-active switch and the CM-60 Series is a 6 inch round all-active switch, so either covers a round cutout where the PPH-200-LED large square plate would not suit the existing prep. The CM-60 Series is also offered wired or with a kinetic wireless transmitter, which is the option to look at when you cannot pull wire back to the operator.
6) Does the Locknetics PPH-200-LED come with a back box for mounting?
Yes. The large square illuminated push plate ships with a black box, so you have the enclosure for the switch and wiring rather than sourcing one separately. The mounting is tamper resistant, which is what you want on the secure side of an opening or anywhere the public can reach the plate.
7) What does the dual color LED on this Locknetics push plate actually show?
The PPH-200-LED is an illuminated dual color plate, so the plate itself indicates state at the door by changing color when it is actuated rather than leaving staff guessing whether the press registered. The faceplate text is engraved rather than printed, so it will not wear off under repeated hand contact.
8) Is a Locknetics PPH Series push plate suitable for a high traffic commercial entrance?
It is built for it. The PPH Series plates are stainless steel with an anodized finish and are stated for use in high traffic areas, and the product is classified for commercial use rather than residential. That is the deciding factor on a school, hospital, or retail vestibule door where the plate gets hit hundreds of times a day.
9) What are the alternatives to a square push plate if I want a round actuator or a wireless one?
Square is not your only option. Camden Door Controls CM-40 Series is a 4-1/2 inch round all-active switch and the CM-60 Series is a 6 inch round all-active switch available wired or with a kinetic wireless transmitter, which saves running conduit on a retrofit. The Locknetics PPH-200-LED is the hardwired large square format with LED indication.
10) What is the difference between the Locknetics PPH-200-LED and an SDC 480 Series push plate?
Both are stainless steel wall actuators. The SDC 480 Series is built from 18 gauge stainless steel; the Locknetics PPH-200-LED is a stainless faceplate with a dual color LED, engraved anodized text, and a black back box included. If you need a full-height touch surface instead of a plate, the SDC 480AA Series is a 36 by 6 inch Ingress-R.E.X touch panel column.
11) For a vestibule with an interior and exterior door, is the PPH-200-LED the right actuator?
The PPH-200-LED is a single push plate switch and you would install one at each location. Where the sequencing needs to be handled by the device, SDC's 480V Series is a vestibule push plate actuator with dual switch activation, which is the part written for that specific condition.
12) Is a bollard post an alternative to the PPH-200-LED for exterior door activation?
Not a substitute - SDC's BP Series are 6 inch by 6 inch square bollard posts, offered as the BPS6 surface mount at 42 inches and the BPG6 in-ground at 54 inches. They are the mounting structure you stand an actuator in when there is no wall at the approach; the PPH-200-LED is the wall or jamb mounted plate itself, so on an open exterior approach you may need both.
13) What can I use instead of a push plate when wheelchair users need a wider activation target?
SDC's 480AA Series is a 36 inch by 6 inch Ingress-R.E.X touch panel column for ADA compliant access control, giving a tall vertical activation area rather than the fixed square target of the PPH-200-LED large square plate. Choose the column where approach height varies; the PPH-200-LED remains the choice where you are matching an existing square plate prep.
14) Which of these push plates is built for abuse-prone or vandal-prone openings?
Alarm Controls PD Series is specified as a vandal resistant push plate line. The Locknetics PPH-200-LED is described as designed for use in high traffic areas with tamper resistant mounting and a stainless steel faceplate, so it is the high-traffic choice where you also want the dual color LED indication.
