SDC PSB560V36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar an actual panic exit device with a latch?
No. The PSB560 SureExit bar has no latch and no moving parts. It is a pressure sensor bar that releases an electromagnetic lock when someone pushes on it, so it only works on an opening where a maglock is doing the securing. If you need a device that latches into a strike on its own, you want a mechanical rim panic device such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200 or the TownSteel ED9700, both 36 inch Grade 1 rim exit devices.
2) What happens if the sensor or the electronics in the PSB560 bar fail?
The bar carries three release paths. Two solid state pressure sensors handle normal egress, and a third mechanical micro switch releases the lock automatically if both sensors or the electronics drop out. That is the tri-failsafe design, and it is why an egress opening does not go dead waiting on a service call.
3) Is the SDC PSB560 UL listed for access control use?
Yes, UL 294 for access control system units and UL 1034 for burglary-resistant electric locking mechanisms, with California State Fire Marshal listing 3625-0324:105. Those are the listings a facility inspector will ask for on a maglock egress opening.
4) The opening needs a fire label. What should I use instead of the SDC PSB560?
The PSB560 is not fire rated, so a labeled opening needs a fire rated device. In the same 36 inch width, the Orca Hardware OED85 is a fire rated rim exit device, exit only, and the Marks USA M9900F is a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device, exit only, with a panic protector end cap. The Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim exit device and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch narrow stile device, which is Grade 1 and wood door compatible, are also fire rated options. These are mechanical latching devices, so the opening hardware and strike prep differ from a pressure sense bar.
5) What is the closest alternative to the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar if I need a bar that releases an electromagnetic lock rather than latching into a strike?
The Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar is the nearest peer in that role. Both are switch-type egress bars that signal a lock to release rather than throwing a latch bolt into a rim strike. The PSB560 is a 36 inch bar with 1-7/8 inch projection, runs on auto-sensing 12/24VDC, and draws 115 mA maximum, 20 mA continuous. The Securitron EMB is built for a 2-1/4 inch door thickness. Nearly every other rim exit device in the comparable set, such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200 or the TownSteel ED9700, is a mechanical latching device and will not perform the same job on a maglock opening.
6) Can I use an electrified rim exit device such as the Dormakaba E2103 in place of the SDC PSB560?
They solve different problems. The Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim exit device supplied with 4908A trim in an 08 classroom function, so it latches into a rim strike and uses power to control the outside trim. The PSB560 has no latch at all; it is a pressure sense bar with two solid state sensors and a redundant micro switch that signals an electromagnetic lock to release, on 12/24VDC auto sensing. If the door is secured by a maglock, the E2103 is not a substitute. If the door is secured by the exit device's own latch and you need controlled outside entry, the E2103 is the one that fits.
7) Can I put the SDC PSB560 SureExit bar on a wood door?
No, the PSB560 is not rated for wood doors. On a wood opening you would need a different device; among rim panics, the Adams Rite 3700 and 8700 Series are the ones listed as wood door compatible.
8) Do I need to buy a power transfer separately for the SDC PSB560 bar?
No, it ships with a PT-2U power transfer loop and a 10 foot eight conductor cable, so the door-to-frame wiring is covered. What you still have to supply is the electromagnetic lock and the power supply feeding it.
9) Does the SDC PSB560 have to be pushed hard, or will it release for someone in a wheelchair or wearing gloves?
Pressure sense, not a mechanical dog-and-latch mechanism, so it triggers through heavy gloves, a coat sleeve or an assistive device without a hard push. Egress needs no prior knowledge of how the device works, which is what makes it usable in healthcare and school corridors where the population turns over constantly.
10) Will a warped or sagging door cause the SDC PSB560 to stop releasing?
The mounting assembly is all metal, aluminum extrusion with metal end caps, specifically so the bar does not bind or misread on a door that has sagged or warped. Since release is by pressure sensor rather than by a latch engaging a strike, minor door misalignment does not affect whether it triggers, unlike a mechanical rim device whose latch has to find the strike every time.
11) If I need an electrified rim device that latches instead of a maglock release, what should I look at?
An electrified mechanical rim device is a different animal from the PSB560 pressure bar: it latches into a strike and takes electrified trim or a request-to-exit signal. The Dormakaba electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A classroom trim is one, and the Sargent 12-8810 wide stile rim device with RX and MELR is a fire rated option with request-to-exit and motorized electric latch retraction. Use those when the door must stay latched mechanically; use the PSB560 when an electromagnetic lock is holding the door and the bar's only job is to drop it.
12) Can I standardize a whole building on the SDC PSB560, including my labeled stair doors?
Only on the openings held by electromagnetic locks and not on labeled doors, since the PSB560 carries no fire rating. It is also for commercial use and does not go on wood doors. A typical building ends up with the PSB560 on maglock-controlled glass and metal entries, and a fire rated mechanical rim device such as the Orca OED85 or Marks USA M9900F on the labeled stair and corridor doors.
13) The door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront. Which 36 inch devices fit besides the SDC PSB560?
The PSB560 mounts on narrow or wide stile doors at a 1-7/8 inch projection, so it covers the storefront case directly. If the opening instead needs a latching narrow stile device in the same 36 inch length, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only and accepts trim; the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are both 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices; and the Falcon 19-R is a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Arrow 4800 Series is a 36 inch narrow stile rim device, exit only, also for 1-3/4 inch doors.
14) Is there a simpler mechanical 36 inch rim exit device to use in place of the SDC PSB560 when no access control system is involved?
Yes. The PSB560 is a powered device on 12/24VDC and only makes sense when there is an electromagnetic lock to release. On an opening with no power and no access control, a straight mechanical rim device does the job: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 rim exit device, exit only, wide stile; the TownSteel ED1100 is a 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 panic rim device, wide stile; and the Hager 4701 Series 36 inch rim exit device carries Grade 1 BHMA certification. None of these require a power supply or a power transfer.
15) What should I put on a 48 inch leaf if the SDC PSB560 only covers 36 inches?
The PSB560 is a 36 inch bar. For a wider leaf, the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim exit device with a push bar, the Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch rim exit device, exit only, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a 48 inch Grade 1 crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the DORMA 9300 Series is a 48 inch Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA M9900F is available as a 48 inch fire rated rim panic device, exit only. The Dexter ED1000 Series is also offered in a 4FT Grade 1 rim device.
16) Does a touch bar or push pad rim exit device do the same thing as the SDC PSB560?
No. Devices such as the Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch wide rim exit device with touch bar, the BEST Precision 2101 Series 36 inch wide stile rim device, and the CRL Jackson 1295 Series non-handed push pad rim panic device are mechanical: pressing the bar retracts a latch. The PSB560 has no moving latch; two solid state pressure sensors plus a redundant emergency release micro switch send a signal that drops an electromagnetic lock, and it needs 12/24VDC to function. A touch bar device secures the door on its own latch, so specifying one in place of the PSB560 changes how the opening is locked, not just which bar is on the door.
17) Will the SDC PSB560 sense bar work in an unheated garage or a vestibule that gets very hot?
Operating range is 0 to 150 degrees F, which covers unconditioned entry vestibules, parking structures and loading doors in most climates. Below freezing at 0F it is outside its stated range.
18) What finishes does the SDC PSB560 36 inch pressure bar come in to match the rest of my entry hardware?
Four: 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless, 628 dull aluminum, and 335 dull black. On an aluminum storefront the 628 dull aluminum is the usual match to a clear anodized frame, and 335 to a dark bronze or black anodized one.
19) For a high traffic entrance, which devices are rated heavier duty than the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar?
The PSB560 uses an aluminum extrusion with metal end caps and an all metal mounting assembly, and operates from 0 to 150 degrees F. If the requirement is written around a duty level on a latching device, the Detex 40 Advantex narrow stile and Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch wide stile rim devices are both Grade 1 extra heavy duty, and the Stanley QED211 and Dormakaba QED200 are Grade 1 heavy duty. Those are mechanical devices, so they secure the door themselves rather than releasing an electromagnetic lock.
