Securitron EEB2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Securitron EEB emergency exit button work with a 12V maglock, or do I need 24V?
The EEB runs on either 12 or 24 VDC, but it has to match the voltage of the lock it releases. Draw is 226 mA peak at 12 VDC and 118 mA peak at 24 VDC, so size the supply accordingly. One wiring detail catches people out: the red and white wires from the EEB2 or EEB3N must be fed from the same power supply, not two separate ones.
2) Which Securitron EEB do I order for a narrow stile aluminum storefront door frame?
The EEB3N is the narrow stile version and ships with switchable green and red lenses. The EEB2 is the single gang version and comes with three interchangeable lenses, green, red, and a blue ADA/handicap symbol. Both carry the same 30 second timer and the same SPDT relay, so the choice is purely the mounting opening and whether you want the ADA lens option.
3) Will an emergency exit button satisfy code when I use a motion sensor for request to exit?
That is exactly what the EEB is for. Code requires a redundant means of egress in case the motion exit sensor fails, and the EEB mounts next to the door to provide it. Securitron's UL294 certification states that when the EEB is used with the XMS Motion Sensor, it meets NFPA Life Safety Code 101 requirements for exit of access controlled egress doors.
4) Can I wire the EEB emergency exit button directly into my maglock circuit without a relay module?
Yes. The EEB has a 3 amp SPDT wet normally closed contact built in, so it breaks the lock power directly on a maglock or fail safe strike drawing under 3 amps. Anything above that needs an interposing relay. The wet contact means it passes the supply voltage through rather than giving you a dry contact, so it is wired inline with the lock, not into a dry input.
5) What UL listings and approvals does the Securitron EEB carry for a hospital or school egress door?
The EEB is UL/cUL and ANSI/UL 294 Listed under Underwriters Laboratories file BP7041, CSA-C22.2 No. 205 Listed, and carries California State Fire Marshal listing 3774-0923:104. That UL 294 listing is the one that matters on an access controlled egress door, since it is the basis for the NFPA 101 compliance claim when the button is paired with the XMS Motion Sensor.
6) The EEB2 is indoor only - what do I use on an exterior door?
The DynaLock 6171 Series is a weatherproof pushbutton with a blank faceplate and is the one to specify where the button sits outdoors. The EEB2 and EEB3N are for indoor use only. Securitron does offer WCC and WBB weather options for single gang push buttons, keyswitches and keypads, so the single gang EEB2 can be weather-housed; the narrow stile EEB3N is not a single gang device and that option does not apply to it.
7) What is the closest equivalent to a Securitron EEB2 emergency exit button from another manufacturer?
The ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton switch is marked "Emergency Release" and is the nearest labeled emergency-release pushbutton to the EEB2. Note the difference in behavior: the EEB2 is a momentary press that releases the door for 30 seconds on a built-in retriggerable timer, with SPDT 3 amp wet N/C contacts on 12 or 24 VDC. If the timed release is what the code official is asking for, the EEB2 carries it in the button; a plain emergency-release pushbutton passes the contact through to whatever timing the panel or power supply provides.
8) I have a narrow stile aluminum door - is there an alternative to the EEB3N that fits the same stile?
The Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch and mounts on the same kind of narrow aluminum stile the EEB3N is built for. The EEB3N is the narrow stile version of the EEB with two interchangeable LED lenses, green and red, and the same 30 second retriggerable timed release as the single gang EEB2. Choose on whether the opening needs the timed release and the lit lens, or just a switch in the stile.
9) Do I need the EEB, or will a plain request-to-exit push button do the job?
It depends on what the button is backing up. The EEB is installed next to the door to provide the additional safety and redundancy required by code when a motion detector is used as the request to exit device, and Securitron's UL294 certification covers the EEB used with the XMS Motion Sensor for NFPA Life Safety Code 101 exit of access-controlled egress doors. For an ordinary release button with no life-safety role behind it, a general purpose device such as the DynaLock 6115A one pushbutton, 1 gang, alternate action unit covers the function. Watch the action: the 6115A is alternate action, meaning it latches on the press, while the EEB is a momentary press that starts a 30 second timed release.
10) How long does the door stay unlocked after someone hits the Securitron EEB button?
A momentary press releases the door for 30 seconds. The timer is retriggerable, so a second press during that window restarts the full 30 seconds rather than cutting it short. There is no adjustment, it is a fixed 30 second release, which is what makes it predictable for an egress application.
11) What is the difference between an emergency exit button and a standard request to exit push button?
A standard REX button just releases the lock while you hold or toggle it. The EEB is built as the code required backup to a motion exit sensor, so it latches a fixed 30 second release on a momentary press and is retriggerable, giving anyone at the door time to get through even if the sensor has failed. If all you need is a routine push to exit at a reception desk, an alternate action button like the DynaLock 6115A or a plain momentary switch such as the RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker covers it. Use the EEB where the egress path depends on it.
12) I need an ADA handicap symbol on the exit button by the door. Which Securitron model has it?
The EEB2 single gang model ships with three interchangeable LED lens covers, green, red, and a blue ADA/handicap symbol, so you can swap in the ADA lens on site without ordering a different part. The narrow stile EEB3N comes with green and red only. If you want a large round handicap actuator rather than a gang box button, the RCI 950 Series round push plate with handicap symbol in satin stainless is a momentary switch built for that.
13) Can I add illumination to an EEB button I already have installed, or do I have to replace it?
Securitron sells the lens kits separately. The PB2-LK illumination kit fits the EEB2 series along with the PB2E and PB5E push buttons, and the PB3-LK green and red kit fits the EEB3N and PB3E series. So a button already in the wall can be upgraded, but the kits are model specific, the single gang kit does not fit the narrow stile button.
14) What is a narrow stile alternative to the Securitron EEB3N exit switch?
For a narrow aluminum stile where the EEB3N does not suit, the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch is a narrow profile option. It is a plain switch though, not a timed emergency release, so it does not give you the 30 second retriggerable release the EEB3N provides as backup to a motion exit sensor. Another route on a mortise prep is a keyswitch such as the ACSI 1310-1, or for a labelled release the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER pushbutton marked Emergency Release.
15) Is the Securitron EEB a maintained switch that stays latched until reset?
No, it is momentary with a timer. Press it once and it releases the door for 30 seconds, then restores. If your application needs the door to stay released until somebody deliberately resets it, a maintained device is the right call, for example the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text and maintained operation, or the RCI 919 Series rotary release with maintained operation in satin aluminum.
16) Is an RCI 908 exit button the same thing as a Securitron EEB?
They are not interchangeable in specification. The RCI 908-RE-MA is an electronic exit button with red EXIT text and maintained operation - maintained means the contact stays transferred until the button is reset. The EEB is momentary: pressing it once releases the door for 30 seconds and it is retriggerable. On an opening where a maintained button would hold the lock released until someone returns to it, the EEB times itself out instead.
17) We want an ADA push plate at the door - can I use one in place of the EEB2 handicap lens?
They serve different roles. The RCI 950HP is a round push plate with a handicap symbol, a momentary switch in satin stainless steel, sized to be struck as an actuator. The EEB2 is a single gang push button whose kit includes switchable green, red and blue ADA lenses, so the handicap symbol appears as a lit lens on the button rather than as a large plate. If the requirement is a plate someone can hit with a forearm or wheelchair, that is a push plate; if the requirement is an identified emergency exit button with a timed release, that is the EEB2.
18) What should I specify for a large actuator on a door where people have their hands full?
The DynaLock 6210 Series palm switch buttons are alternate-action SPDT devices built as a large palm-struck actuator. The EEB2 and EEB3N are finger-pressed push buttons with SPDT 3 amp wet N/C contacts and a 30 second retriggerable release, mounted next to the door in a single gang box or a narrow stile. Both are SPDT, so the contact arrangement matches; the difference is the size of the actuator and that the palm switch is alternate action while the EEB is momentary with its own timer.
19) Can I run building line voltage through an EEB, or do I need a different switch?
The EEB is a low voltage device: it operates on 12 or 24 VDC, which must match the voltage of the installed lock, and its relay is rated 3A SPDT N/C. For a switching job at line voltage, the RCI 909F-MO is a flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish. Keep the EEB on the same DC power supply as the lock - the red and white wires from the EEB2 or EEB3N must receive voltage from the same supply.
20) Is a key-operated release a better choice than an emergency exit button?
It depends on who needs to release the door. The ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch, so release requires a key in the hands of an authorized holder. The EEB is the opposite by design: it is mounted next to the door for free egress, providing the safety and redundancy required by code when a motion detector serves as the request to exit device, and a momentary press releases the door for 30 seconds. Life-safety egress at an access-controlled door wants a button anyone can press, not a keyed device.
21) Does the Securitron EEB emergency exit button make a sound when pressed?
No audible output is part of the EEB. It is a lit push button with a 30 second timed relay release, nothing more. If the facility wants a local alert when the door is released, that is a separate device, for example the DynaLock 6300 Series audible annunciator, which runs on 6 to 28 VDC and so sits comfortably on the same 12 or 24 VDC supply as the EEB.
22) I need the door release and an alarm sounder - does the EEB cover both?
The EEB handles the release: a momentary press drops the door for 30 seconds through SPDT 3 amp wet N/C contacts, with switchable lit lenses on the button face. For an audible on the same opening, the DynaLock 6300 Series is an audible annunciator operating on 6-28 VDC, which brackets the EEB's 12 or 24 VDC supply so both can share the system voltage. They are specified together rather than one instead of the other.
23) What is the difference between a rotary release button and the EEB push button?
The RCI 919-MA is a rotary release button with maintained operation in a satin aluminum finish - it is turned rather than pressed, and holds its state until turned back. The EEB is pressed: one momentary press releases the door for 30 seconds and the button is retriggerable. A rotary maintained device suits a door meant to be held released deliberately; the EEB suits an emergency egress press that resets itself.
