SDC PSB560V42 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the SDC SureExit PSB560 a panic device with a latch, or does it just release a maglock?
The PSB560 is a pressure sense bar, not a latching exit device. It has no latchbolt and no strike. Pushing anywhere on the bar signals the release of an electromagnetic lock, so the door has to be held by a mag lock or another electrified lock for the opening to secure at all. If you need a device that mechanically latches the door shut on its own, order a true rim exit device such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200 or the TownSteel ED9700 instead.
2) Will the SDC PSB560 42 inch pressure bar mount on a wood door?
No, the PSB560 is not rated for wood doors. It is a commercial device for metal and aluminum openings. If the opening is wood, look at the Adams Rite 3700 Series or 8700 Series narrow stile rim devices, both of which are listed as wood door compatible.
3) I need panic hardware on a 48 inch wide door but I am not using a mag lock. What should I order instead of the SDC PSB560?
The PSB560 only makes sense paired with an electromagnetic lock, since it latches nothing on its own. For a mechanically latching 48 inch opening, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim device, the Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch push bar, the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile device rated for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, or the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch if the door is fire rated will all do the job without any power at the opening.
4) Does the SDC PSB560 satisfy the code requirement for free egress on an access controlled door?
That is exactly what it is there for. Contact on the bar releases the electromagnetic lock and lets someone out without prior knowledge of how the hardware works, which is the standard test for egress on an access controlled opening. Backing that up are UL 294 and UL 1034 certification and CSFM listing 3625-0324:105. Confirm with your local AHJ how the release is to be wired on your particular door.
5) Can the SDC PSB560 be used on a fire rated opening?
No. The SDC SureExit PSB560 pressure sense bar is not fire rated. For a fire rated opening, the set includes the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device, the Arrow FS1250 fire rated 32 inch rim exit device, the Dexter ED1000 Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device, and the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch, all fire rated exit only devices with a latch. Those are mechanical latching devices, so the opening also has to be planned around a latch and strike rather than an electric lock release.
6) What is the difference between the SDC SureExit PSB560 and a standard mechanical rim exit device like the Falcon 1590EO?
They solve different problems on the door. The SDC SureExit PSB560 is a 42 inch pressure sense bar that runs on 12/24VDC and releases an electromagnetic lock electrically; it draws 115 mA maximum and 20 mA continuous, so it needs a power supply and wiring to the lock. The Falcon 1590EO is a mechanical Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device, 42 inch exit only, that latches into a strike and needs no power. If the opening is held by a maglock or electric strike on an access control system, the PSB560 is the release device; if the opening latches mechanically, the 1590EO is the device that does the latching.
7) Is there another electrified exit bar that works the same way as the SDC PSB560?
The Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar is the closest peer in the set - it is an exit bar that works electrically rather than by mechanical latching, and it lists a 2-1/4 inch door thickness. The SDC SureExit PSB560 differs in how it senses the push: it uses pressure sense technology with two solid state pressure sensors plus an emergency release micro switch, on a 42 inch bar with 1-7/8 inch projection, auto-sensing 12/24VDC. Confirm door thickness and the projection you have room for before choosing between them.
8) Does an electrified rim exit device like the Dormakaba E2103 do the same job as the SDC PSB560?
Not the same job. The Dormakaba Electrified Rim 36 inch exit device with 4908A trim is a latching rim exit device with an 08 classroom function - the electrification controls the outside trim while the device itself still latches into a strike. The SDC SureExit PSB560 is a 42 inch pressure sense bar with no latch; it signals release of an electromagnetic lock on 12/24VDC and passes a 115 mA maximum, 20 mA continuous load. Choose the Dormakaba if you need controlled entry through an exit device with trim, and the PSB560 if egress has to drop a maglock.
9) I need outside trim or a night latch function - does the SDC PSB560 handle that?
The SDC SureExit PSB560 is a pressure sense bar for releasing an electromagnetic lock and does not carry a latch or lever trim function. For a device that provides key controlled entry from outside, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device with a night latch function, the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with night latch trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and ED5200 are Grade 1 devices listed as exit only, accepts trim. Entry control on a PSB560 opening is handled by the access control reader and lock, not by the bar.
10) Do I need to buy a power transfer separately for the SDC PSB560 exit bar?
No, the wiring is in the box. The PSB560 ships with the PT-2U power transfer loop and a 10 foot eight conductor cable, so the run from the door leaf into the frame is covered. What you still supply is the electromagnetic lock, the power supply, and any access control head end.
11) What does tri-failsafe mean on the SDC SureExit bar and what happens if a sensor fails?
Tri-failsafe is three independent release paths in one bar: two solid state pressure sensors plus a mechanical emergency release micro switch. If a pressure sensor drops out, the second sensor still releases the lock, and if both fail the micro switch trips on bar travel. That redundancy is the reason this bar gets specified on egress doors where a dead sensor would trap someone.
12) Is the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar ADA friendly for a hospital or school corridor?
Pressure sense means there is no push pad to depress and no travel required. Contact anywhere on the bar releases the lock, and it works through heavy gloves or a coat, or from a briefcase, cane, walker or wheelchair. That is why it turns up on healthcare and education openings where the person coming through may not have a free hand.
13) Is the SDC PSB560 UL listed for access control, and does it have a California State Fire Marshal listing?
It holds UL 294 for access control system units and UL 1034 for burglary resistant electric locking mechanisms, plus CSFM listing 3625-0324:105. Those are the three numbers an inspector or a spec writer will ask for on an access controlled egress door. Note this is an access control listing, not a fire door rating.
14) Should I use a pressure sense bar or an electromechanical exit bar for a mag lock release?
Both release a lock electrically, but they sense differently. The PSB560 reads pressure through solid state sensors with no push pad travel, and it is offered for narrow or wide stile. The Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar is the mechanical switch alternative in our range, listed for 2-1/4 inch door thickness, so it suits thicker leaves the PSB560 spec does not address. Pick the pressure bar when accessibility and no moving pad matter; pick the EMB when you are on a thick door.
15) Which 42 inch or wider exit device should I look at if I want a mechanical bar rather than the SDC PSB560?
The SDC SureExit PSB560 covers 42 inch openings and suits narrow or wide stile doors. For a mechanical device in that width range, the Falcon 1590EO and Falcon 1790EO are both 42 inch Grade 1 narrow stile exit only devices for 1-3/4 inch doors. Going wider, the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim exit device with push bar, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter ED1000-R-EO-4FT is a 4 foot Grade 1 rim exit device. Match the device length to the door width you are actually covering.
16) I need a device that works on both narrow and wide stile doors - what are my options besides the SDC PSB560?
The SDC SureExit PSB560 is specified for narrow or wide stile applications with a 1-7/8 inch projection. Most mechanical peers commit to one or the other: the Adams Rite 8800 Series, Corbin Russwin ED4200, TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 and Detex 40 Advantex are narrow stile Grade 1 devices, while the BEST Precision 2101, Corbin Russwin ED5200, Detex 10 Advantex and TownSteel ED9700 are wide stile. If you want one mechanical part number that is not stile-committed, the BEST Precision 5101 is a non-handed universal design rim exit device and the CRL Jackson 1295 is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors.
17) Is a crossbar or paddle panic device an alternative to the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar?
They are different actuation styles for different hardware. The SDC SureExit PSB560 senses pressure anywhere along a 42 inch bar, which is why it responds to a gloved hand, a coat sleeve, a briefcase, a cane, a walker or a wheelchair. The CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device and the CRL Jackson 1095P is the paddle version, both wide stile exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar device. Those require the user to move a crossbar or paddle that mechanically retracts a latch, rather than signalling an electric lock to release.
18) For standardizing exit hardware across a facility, how does the SDC PSB560 compare to Grade 1 rim devices?
The SDC SureExit PSB560 is a commercial 12/24VDC pressure sense bar carrying UL 294 and UL 1034 certification with CSFM listing 3625-0324:105, and it operates from 0 to 150 degrees F. It is graded by those UL listings rather than by an ANSI/BHMA cycle grade. If the facility standard is written to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 mechanical rim hardware, the Detex 40 Advantex is extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile, the Detex 10 Advantex is extra heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile, and the Dormakaba 9300A is a Grade 1 heavy duty 48 inch wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. A common pattern is Grade 1 mechanical devices on standard openings and the PSB560 on the access controlled ones.
19) What is a simpler exit only device for a 36 inch door where no access control is involved?
Where the opening has no electric lock to release, a plain mechanical exit only device covers it and skips the wiring the SDC SureExit PSB560 needs for its 12/24VDC supply. The Orca Hardware OED55 is a 36 inch exit only rim device, the Marks USA M9900 is a 36 inch exit only rim device with a panic protector end cap, the Hager 4701 is a 36 inch standard duty rim device with Grade 1 BHMA certification, and the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile exit only device. None of them is fire rated or wood door compatible, so match those two conditions to the opening first.
20) Are concealed vertical rod devices an alternative to the SDC PSB560?
They address a different latching arrangement. The Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 36 inch concealed vertical rod exit device with a wide stile pushpad and the Hager 4601 is the Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile concealed vertical rod version; both secure the door at the top and bottom of the frame through rods in the door. The SDC SureExit PSB560 is a surface mounted 42 inch bar with 1-7/8 inch projection and an all metal mounting assembly that does not depend on rods, which is why door sag or warp does not affect it. Vertical rod devices suit pairs and openings that need top and bottom latching; the PSB560 suits an opening held by an electric lock.
21) Can the SDC PSB560 pressure bar go on an exterior door or an unheated stairwell?
Operating range is 0 to 150 degrees F, which covers most exterior entrances, unconditioned stairwells and warehouse openings in temperate climates. Below zero, the rated range stops and the bar is out of spec.
22) What finishes does the SDC SureExit PSB560 42 inch bar come in?
Four finishes, and they cover the usual storefront and institutional palettes: 628 dull aluminum to match clear anodized aluminum entrances, 630 satin stainless and 629 bright stainless for stainless door hardware suites, and 335 dull black for dark anodized or painted frames. If you are standardizing a building, 628 is the one that blends into most aluminum storefront.
23) Will a sagging or warped door cause the SDC pressure bar to stop working?
The PSB560 uses an all metal mounting assembly with aluminum extrusion and metal end caps, specifically so door sag or warp does not bind the bar or throw off the sensors. This matters on tall aluminum entrances that have been slammed for years, where a mechanical push bar starts binding long before the door gets replaced.
