Securitron PB5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Securitron PB5 push button fit a standard single gang box?
Yes. The PB5 mounts on a stainless steel single gang plate measuring 4-1/2 inches by 2-3/4 inches (114mm x 70mm), with a 2 inch round button. That drops onto a standard single gang electrical box in the wall next to the opening.
2) What is the difference between the Securitron PB5 and the PB5E?
Illumination. The PB5 is the lit version, a 2 inch round momentary button on a single gang plate with the light built in. The PB5E is the same button without the light. If you already have a PB5E in the wall and want it lit, Securitron's PB2-LK illumination kit covers the PB2E, PB5E and EEB2 series buttons.
3) What voltage does the Securitron PB5 push button run on and how much current does the light draw?
The PB5 operates at 12 or 24 VDC. The illumination draws 9 mA at 12 VDC and 20 mA at 24 VDC, so it adds very little load to an access control power supply. Switch contacts are rated 5 amps.
4) Can the PB5 push button switch both a maglock and a signal to the access control panel at the same time?
Yes, that is what the two-pole contacts are for. The PB5 ships DPST and is field convertible to DPDT, so one pole can break power to a maglock or electric strike while the second pole sends a request-to-exit or shunt signal to the panel. Contacts are rated 5 amps, enough for typical lock current.
5) Is the PB5 momentary or maintained, and which do I want for a door release?
The PB5 is momentary. It makes contact only while pressed, which is what you want for a release button that unlocks the door for a moment and lets it relock. If you need a button that stays latched until pressed again, that is alternate action or maintained, such as the DynaLock 6115A alternate action pushbutton or the RCI 908 series exit button with maintained operation.
6) What is an alternative to the Securitron PB5 push button when the opening needs a latching output instead of momentary?
The PB5 and PB5E are momentary buttons, so the contact only transfers while the button is held. When you need the output to stay transferred until the button is pressed again, the DynaLock 6115A is a one-pushbutton single gang device in the 6000 Push Button series with alternate action operation. The DynaLock 6210 palm switch is also an alternate-action SPDT device if you want a larger striking surface for the same latching behavior.
7) Is there an equivalent to the Securitron PB5 for an exterior door where the button will be exposed to weather?
The PB5 is a stainless steel single gang plate with a 2 inch round momentary button and is offered with a weather option for single gang push buttons. If you would rather specify a dedicated weatherproof device, the DynaLock 6171 is a weatherproof pushbutton with a blank faceplate in the 6170 series. The trade-off is the blank faceplate: the PB5 ships with switchable green, red and blue ADA lenses, so the DynaLock unit will not carry the handicap symbol marking.
8) What can I use instead of the Securitron PB5 if the door needs a handicap push plate rather than a small round button?
The PB5 is a 2 inch round button on a 4-1/2 by 2-3/4 inch single gang stainless plate, with interchangeable ADA lenses including a handicap lens. For a full-size actuator that a user can strike with a forearm or a wheelchair, the RCI 950HP is a round push plate carrying the handicap symbol with a momentary switch in satin stainless steel. Both are momentary, so the release logic at the lock stays the same; the difference is the size of the actuating surface.
9) What should I specify instead of the Securitron PB5 if the button must be marked for emergency release?
The PB5 uses interchangeable green, red and blue ADA lenses and is not supplied with emergency text. For an opening where the code official wants the control legended, the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is a pushbutton switch marked Emergency Release, and the RCI 908 Series RCI-908-RE-MA 32D is an electronic exit button with red EXIT text. Note the RCI 908 unit is maintained operation rather than momentary like the PB5, so confirm your lock power supply expects a latched input.
10) What is a narrower alternative to the Securitron PB5 for a narrow stile aluminum frame?
The PB5 needs room for a 4-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch single gang stainless plate, which will not sit on a narrow stile or mullion. The Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch built for that condition. Keep in mind the PB5 is field convertible from DPST to DPDT with 5 amp rated contacts, so if your circuit relies on the second pole or that contact rating, verify the narrow switch matches before substituting.
11) Does the Securitron PB5 come with a handicap symbol lens, or do I order that separately?
It is included. The PB5 ships with switchable green, red and blue ADA lenses, so you pick the color and the handicap-marked lens at install rather than ordering a separate part number. Useful when you are standardizing a building and want red on secured doors and blue or green on accessible entries.
12) Can I use a Securitron PB5 push button outside in the weather?
Not as it ships. The PB5 is a single gang interior button, but Securitron's WCC and WBB weather options are available for all single gang push buttons, keyswitches and keypads, so you can order weather protection with it. For a dedicated exterior button instead, the DynaLock 6171 series is a weatherproof pushbutton with a blank faceplate.
13) What else could I use instead of a Securitron PB5 if I need a larger push plate for accessible entry?
The PB5 button face is 2 inches round on a single gang plate, which suits a wall-mounted release beside the door. If the opening needs a large surface someone can hit with a forearm or palm, look at the RCI 950 series round push plate with handicap symbol and momentary switch in satin stainless, or the DynaLock 6210 series palm switch with alternate-action SPDT contacts.
14) Which of these looks like a substitute for the Securitron PB5 but is not?
The DynaLock 6300 Series audible annunciator, rated 6 to 28 VDC, is often ordered alongside push button stations but it is a sounder, not a release control - it has no switch contacts to break the lock circuit. The ACSI 1310-1 in the 1300 series is a mortise keyswitch, so it needs a key to actuate rather than a push, which changes who can release the door. If you want a direct button-for-button swap for the PB5, stay with a pushbutton device such as the DynaLock 6115A or the RCI 950HP.
15) Is there a simpler switch than the Securitron PB5 for an equipment or back-of-house door where no one needs the lenses?
Yes. Within the PB5 family the PB5E is the same 2 inch round momentary single gang button without illumination, and the PB2-LK illumination kit can be added later to a PB5E if the location changes. If you do not need the round button format at all, the RCI 909 Series RCI-909F-MO is a flush mount momentary rocker switch rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish, which suits a back-of-house wall better than a stainless ADA plate.
16) What do I use instead of the Securitron PB5 if I need to stop people from bumping the button accidentally?
The PB5 is a 2 inch round momentary button that releases on a single press, which is what you want on a request-to-exit but not always in a corridor where carts and shoulders pass. The RCI 919 Series RCI-919-MA 28 is a rotary release button with maintained operation in a satin aluminum finish, so it takes a deliberate twist rather than a push. Confirm your access control panel accepts a maintained input, since the PB5 delivers a momentary one.
17) Is the Securitron PB5 push button suitable for commercial buildings or is it a residential device?
Commercial. The PB5 is a commercial-duty access control release button with a stainless steel plate and 5 amp contacts, the kind of device used across office, multi-family and institutional openings where the same button gets pressed thousands of times.
