Securitron DPS-M-BK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are Securitron DPS door position switches used for?
DPS switches monitor door position for access control systems. They signal when doors are open, closed, or ajar. Common applications include fire doors, secure entries, and automated door control systems.
2) Are DPS switches compatible with all door types?
DPS switches work with most standard door frames. Verify frame material and thickness before installation. Steel and aluminum frames typically provide best mounting options. Wood frames may require additional reinforcement.
3) Do these switches work for both left and right hand doors?
Most DPS models are field reversible for either hand configuration. Check specific model specifications for handing options. Some units include adjustable mounting brackets for flexible installation.
4) What finishes are available for DPS switches?
Standard finishes include aluminum, stainless steel, and painted options. Finish selection depends on door hardware and environmental conditions. Stainless steel provides best corrosion resistance for exterior applications.
5) What voltage do DPS door position switches operate on?
Most DPS switches operate on low voltage systems, typically 12V or 24V DC. Some models handle both AC and DC power. Always verify voltage requirements match your access control system specifications.
6) Are these switches suitable for fire door applications?
Select DPS models are listed for fire door use. Check UL listings and local fire codes for compliance requirements. Fire-rated applications typically require specific mounting methods and wire specifications.
7) What accessories are needed for DPS switch installation?
Basic installation requires mounting screws and low voltage wire. Some models include mounting templates. Optional accessories may include weather seals, conduit fittings, and extended actuator arms for specific door configurations.
8) How are DPS switches typically mounted?
Surface mount to door frame header or jamb is most common. Some models offer concealed mounting options. Follow manufacturer template for proper alignment with door position. Ensure adequate clearance for door operation.
9) Do DPS switches require regular maintenance?
Minimal maintenance required for most models. Periodically check mounting screws and actuator alignment. Clean contacts if switching becomes unreliable. Test operation monthly in critical security applications.
