SDC 482O1U – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an SDC 480 Series push plate fit a standard single gang box?
Yes, order faceplate option 2, the single gang plate measuring 2-3/4 x 4-1/2 inches. If you are mounting to a wider prep or a mullion, the narrow option 1 plate measures 4-1/2 x 1-11/16 inches, and the larger plates come as 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch square, 6 x 6 inch square, 4-1/2 inch round, and 6 inch round.
2) What is the difference between the SDC 482 and 484 push actuator?
Switch contacts. The 482 is a single pole double throw actuator, the 484 is double pole double throw. Use the 484 when one press has to drive two separate circuits, for example releasing a mag lock and signalling the automatic operator at the same time. If your operator or access control panel only needs one dry contact set, the 482 does the job. Every plate size and sign choice is offered on both models.
3) Is the SDC 480 push plate actuator UL listed for ADA door openers?
The 480 Series carries UL1054 listing for Safety Special-Use Switches and is CSA Listed. It is built for ADA compliant handicap access and automatic door activation, which is what a facility inspector will be looking for on an accessible entrance.
4) Which push plate should I use on an opening that gets abused or vandalized?
The Alarm Controls PD Series covers the vandal resistant push plates, including the PD, PN, PS and PT models, and is built for openings where the actuator takes deliberate abuse. The SDC 480 Series is an 18 gauge stainless steel weather-resistant plate intended for demanding commercial applications, but it is not designated as a vandal resistant plate. On a high-abuse entrance the Alarm Controls PD Series is the family designed for that condition.
5) Can an SDC 480 push plate be mounted outside on an exterior door?
Yes. The 480 Series actuators are weather resistant with 18 gauge stainless steel plates, which is why they hold up on exterior entrances and in wash-down areas. Wall or bollard mounting are both supported, so a curbside bollard at an accessible entrance is a normal application.
6) Do you have to press the SDC 480 plate in the center to activate it?
No. The entire plate surface activates the switch on the 480 Series, so a press anywhere on the face works, including an elbow, a wheelchair footrest, or a gloved hand. That matters on accessible entrances where a small center button is the usual complaint.
7) Can I run an SDC 480 push plate without pulling wire to the door?
Yes. The 480 Series actuators are offered in wireless as well as hardwired operation, so a retrofit where you cannot get conduit across a finished lobby or through a masonry wall is workable. Hardwired is still the choice where you have an existing raceway to the operator.
8) What is a good alternative to the SDC 480 push plate if I need a vandal resistant one or a built-in time delay?
For high-abuse openings, the Alarm Controls PD Series covers vandal resistant push plates with pneumatic time delay, and the Alarm Controls JP Series is the jumbo plate with pneumatic time delay. Camden's CM-40 is a 4-1/2 inch round all-active switch and the CM-60 is the 6 inch round version, the CM-60 offered wired or with a kinetic wireless transmitter, so either is a direct shape-for-shape swap with the SDC round plates. The Locknetics PPH-100-PL is a large round push plate supplied with a box in black or aluminum if you need the back box in the same order.
9) Can I use an SDC 480 push plate as a request-to-exit button?
Yes, request-to-exit is one of the listed applications for the 480 Series, alongside handicap access and automatic door activation. On an egress side with a mag lock, the 484 with its double pole contacts lets one press break the lock power and signal the panel; the 482 with single pole handles the simpler case where the panel does the rest.
10) I need to standardize push plates across a hospital or campus. Does the SDC 480 Series cover round and square in the same family?
It does. One series gives you round in 4-1/2 inch and 6 inch diameters plus square in 4-1/2 and 6 inch, a narrow 4-1/2 x 1-11/16 inch plate for tight jambs and mullions, and a single gang plate at 2-3/4 x 4-1/2 inches, all in the same 18 gauge stainless steel with the same PUSH TO OPEN legend. That means one finish and one look across healthcare, education, and multi-tenant openings while each door gets the plate its prep actually allows.
11) I want a wireless actuator for a door where running wire is difficult - what works?
The Camden CM-60 Series 6 inch round switch is offered with a kinetic wireless transmitter, which generates its own power from the press and needs no wire run to the plate. The SDC 480 Series also supports wireless or hardwired operation with bollard or wall mounting. Both give you a 6 inch round face at the opening; the choice comes down to which control receiver your system already uses.
12) What do the A, B and O sign options mean on the SDC 480 push plate?
Those are the sign legend choices, all reading PUSH TO OPEN. The legends are bold debossed with black or blue infill, blue being the usual pick where you want the plate to read as an accessible entrance and black where it should blend with the door hardware. Each of the three legend options is available on all six plate shapes and on both the 482 and 484.
