Locknetics WT-2 Wireless Transmitter

The WT-2 is a 900MHz wireless transmitter that triggers release of electronic access-controlled doors from a remote button rather than a hardwired push station. It works with the 900MHz receiver in the Locknetics Wireless Release Kit, so no wire has to be pulled from the release point back to the door.

The WT-2 is the transmitter only, sold separately from the receiver. To make a working release you need the 900MHz receiver as well, plus whatever electrified hardware (mag lock, electric strike, operator) the receiver is switching.

Yes. The receiver used with these transmitters has two outputs, so several doors can be released at the same time or with a slight delay between them. That delay setting is what you want on a vestibule or airlock where you do not want both leaves dropping simultaneously.

The Alarm Controls RT series wireless transmitters are the other wireless transmitter option for activating an electronic access controlled door. The Locknetics WT-2 is a 900MHz transmitter that works with the matching 900MHz receiver, which has two outputs so several doors can be released at once or with a slight delay. If you already have Locknetics 900MHz receivers in the building, stay with the WT-2; the RT series is the choice when you are specifying the transmitter and receiver together as an Alarm Controls set.

Treat them as separate systems. The Locknetics WT-2 is matched to the Locknetics 900MHz receiver, and a transmitter only releases a door if it is paired to the receiver it was built for. The Alarm Controls RT series is its own wireless transmitter line and should be paired with Alarm Controls receiving equipment. For a door already running the Locknetics 900MHz receiver, order the WT-2 as the add-on transmitter.

Yes, transmitters are ordered individually and sold separately from the receiver, so you can buy as many WT-2 units as you have people or release points. The description refers to receiver and transmitters in the plural working together, so multiple remotes to one receiver is the intended arrangement.

The Alarm Controls RT Series wireless transmitters are the other wireless release option we carry. Pick by the receiver you already have on the wall: the WT-2 pairs with the 900MHz receiver in the Locknetics Wireless Release Kit, and the RT Series is matched to Alarm Controls receivers. Transmitters and receivers are not mixed across brands.

That is the case a 900MHz wireless release is built for. The WT-2 transmits to the receiver at the door, so the release point can sit across a finished lobby with no conduit, no coring and no wire pull. The receiver, not the transmitter, does the switching to the door hardware.

Both are commercial wireless transmitters, so the deciding factor is the receiver on the door rather than the duty rating. The Locknetics WT-2 is a commercial-grade transmitter that is part of a wireless release kit built around the 900MHz receiver, which supports two outputs for controlling multiple doors simultaneously or in sequence. The Alarm Controls RT series is the comparable choice on openings built around Alarm Controls hardware. Multi-door release from one button favors the Locknetics 900MHz receiver arrangement.

Commercial. Locknetics lists the WT-2 as a commercial door hardware product within its electronic access control line, intended for access-controlled openings in commercial facilities rather than home use.
