Schlage Electronics 801 Local/Remote Monitoring Station, 3 LEDs and Sounder

The 801 is a local or remote monitoring station that gives you both a visual and an audible read on lock status and delay activation. Three LEDs show the state, and a built-in sounder rated at 70 dB at 2 inches gives the audible alert. Mount it beside the opening for local monitoring, or at a guard desk or console for remote monitoring of the same door.

It interfaces with electromagnetic locks that have the magnetic bond sensor (MBS) option. The MBS output is what drives the status indication, so if your maglock was ordered without the bond sensor, the 801 has nothing to read from it and you would need to specify an MBS-equipped lock.

A standard single gang box. The 801 is a single gang unit, so the same box you would pull for a light switch takes it. Get the low-voltage wiring to that box during rough-in.

Two separate inputs. The LEDs run on 12-24 VDC, drawing 3-14 mA each. The audible sounder takes 10-28 VDC and draws 3-14 mA. Size your access control power supply with all three LEDs plus the sounder in mind, though the total load is small enough that it usually rides on the same supply feeding the lock.

The 801 is a monitoring station, not a release device. It reports lock status and delay activation through its three LEDs and sounder. If what you need is a key-operated switch to actually unlock or release the opening, that is a different device.

No - they serve two different halves of an access control opening. The Schlage Electronics 801 is a monitoring station: it provides audible and visual indication of lock status and delay activation through three LEDs and a sounder, and it interfaces with electromagnetic locks that have the magnetic bond sensor (MBS) option. The BEA 10JAMBSWITCHMOM is an access control keyswitch plate with momentary operation, meaning it is a key-operated release device that actuates the opening. If you need staff to see and hear whether the mag lock is bonded, that is the 801. If you need a key-operated input to release the door, that is the BEA plate. Many openings use one of each.

For a combined key release and push actuation at the jamb, look at the BEA 10COMBOPLATE, a jamb push plate and maintained keyswitch on a double gang plate, or the BEA 10COMBOPLATEMOM, which pairs the jamb push plate with a momentary keyswitch on a double gang combo plate. The maintained version holds its state when keyed; the momentary version returns after the key is turned. The Schlage Electronics 801 will not cover that requirement - it is a monitoring station with three LEDs and a sounder that reports lock status rather than actuating the door, and it mounts in a standard single gang electrical box.

For an actual key-operated release rather than a status display, look at BEA's jamb switch plates. The 10JAMBSWITCHMOM is a keyswitch plate with momentary operation, which is what you want for a timed release on an access control relay. The 10JAMBSWITCHONF is a keyswitch plate with a tamper-resistant design for exposed or exterior jamb locations.

Not from the 801, which is a single gang monitoring unit. BEA offers double gang combo plates that carry both a jamb push plate and a keyswitch: the 10COMBOPLATE with a maintained keyswitch, and the 10COMBOPLATEMOM with a momentary keyswitch. Choose maintained when you want the door to hold unlocked until the key is turned back, momentary for a timed release. Both need a double gang box, not the single gang the 801 uses.

Yes, that is exactly the local and remote arrangement the 801 is built for. The same unit serves either position, so you can mount one at the opening for local indication and a second at a remote console. Each one needs its own single gang box and its own LED and sounder feeds within the stated ranges of 12-24 VDC for the LEDs and 10-28 VDC for the audible.

The Schlage Electronics 801 monitoring station mounts in a standard single gang electrical box, so it drops into existing single gang rough-in. Among the alternatives, the BEA 10COMBOPLATE and 10COMBOPLATEMOM are double gang combo plates and would require a two gang box at the jamb. If you are replacing a single gang device and do not want to open the wall or jamb, the 801 is the one that matches that prep.

The Schlage Electronics 801 is an indication device - three LEDs and a 70 dB sounder reporting lock and delay status - so it is normally placed where staff can see and hear it, such as a front desk or security office, rather than where the public can reach a key. If the concern is a key-operated device in an exposed corridor or jamb location, the BEA 10JAMBSWITCHONF is an access control keyswitch plate with a tamper-resistant design intended for that exposure. The two are complementary: the BEA plate takes the abuse at the door, the 801 reports the result back to the staffed location.

The Schlage Electronics 801 monitoring station has defined electrical requirements because it drives indicators: LED operating power of 12-24 VDC with a 3-14 mA draw per LED, and an audible input of 10-28 VDC drawing 3-14 mA. The BEA alternatives - the 10JAMBSWITCHMOM momentary keyswitch plate, the 10JAMBSWITCHONF tamper-resistant keyswitch plate, and the 10COMBOPLATE and 10COMBOPLATEMOM combo plates - are switching devices whose contacts are wired into whatever circuit the access control system provides. Size your power supply for the 801's indicator load, and wire the BEA switch contacts per the controller they report to.
