SECURITRON XMS REQUEST TO EXIT MOTION SENSOR

The XMS passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor request to exit (REX) device reliably detects motion near a door and releases its lock. Versatile mounting options and an easily
adjustable infrared beam pattern provide optimal coverage of the egress area for smooth, hands-free lock release and exit.

SAFETY NOTE: Securitron recommends that an emergency exit button, such as the EEB, be used in conjunction with the XMS to meet applicable building codes and specific life safety issues.

The XMS Passive Infrared Request to Exit Device is a motion detector specifically designed to reliably release magnetic locks. A person approaching the door is "seen" by the motion detector just before reaching the door.

Securitron XMS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Securitron XMS motion sensor release a maglock on its own, or do I still need an exit button?
The XMS releases the lock by itself, but don't build the opening around it alone. It's a passive infrared REX that sees a person approaching and cuts power to the magnetic lock before they reach the door, so egress is hands-free. Securitron's own guidance is to pair the XMS with an emergency exit button, such as the EEB, to meet applicable building codes and life safety requirements. On a maglock opening that's normally a hard requirement from the AHJ, not an upsell, so budget the button into the job.
2) What voltage does the Securitron XMS run on and how much current does it draw?
The XMS takes 12 or 24VDC, so it runs off the same supply feeding the maglock in most installs, and it draws 20 to 50mA depending on switching status. Size the power supply with that 50mA worst case in mind when you're stacking a sensor, a lock, and a card reader on one head end.
3) Can I mount a Securitron XMS request to exit sensor on an exterior door?
No. The XMS is rated for indoor use only, so it belongs above the interior face of the opening, not on a weather-exposed exterior wall or in an unconditioned entry vestibule. If the sensor has to sit outside the building envelope, this is the wrong device for that location.
4) Is the Securitron XMS UL listed for access control?
Yes. The XMS is UL/cUL listed and ANSI/UL 294 listed, under Underwriters Laboratories File BP7041 (UL 294), and it carries CSFM listing. UL 294 is the access control system units standard, which is the listing a specifier or AHJ typically asks for on a REX device tied into an electrified opening.
5) Can I adjust the detection area on the XMS so it doesn't trigger from people walking past the door?
Yes, the infrared beam pattern on the XMS adjusts, which is the fix for nuisance releases in a corridor where traffic passes the opening rather than using it. Narrow the pattern down to the approach zone in front of the door. Relock timing is adjustable too, so you can set how long the lock stays released after the person clears the sensor.
6) Should I use a PIR request to exit sensor or a motion sensor made for automatic doors?
They solve different problems. The XMS is a passive infrared REX: it detects a person approaching and drops power to a magnetic lock so they can push through. Sensors like the MS Sedco DH-400 and the DH100-CT are activation and presence sensors for automatic door operators, and the MicroStar-M is a microwave activation sensor for automatic door activation. If the door swings or slides under power, you want the automatic door sensor. If the door is manually operated and just needs its maglock released on the way out, the REX is the device.
7) What is a direct alternative to the Securitron XMS request to exit motion sensor?
The Locknetics EMS-100 exit motion sensor covers the same job - a motion sensor mounted over the door that signals request to exit and releases the lock. It ships with ceiling and surface mount adapters, so it suits an opening where the mounting surface is a ceiling rather than the header. The Alarm Controls SREX-100 is another infrared request to exit motion sensor with an adjustable time delay, comparable to the XMS adjustable time relock. The XMS itself is a passive infrared REX device running on 12 or 24VDC.
8) Which request to exit sensor has a built in sounder for a door that needs an audible warning?
The Bosch DS160 PIR request to exit detector includes a sounder, which suits an opening where the egress event needs to be heard locally - a stairwell door or a controlled perimeter door in a school or hospital. The Securitron XMS is a passive infrared REX device with a request to exit output and adjustable time relock, and does not carry a sounder function. For a Bosch REX detector without the sounder, the DS150i series covers the same request to exit detection role.
9) What is the difference between the Securitron XMS and the MS Sedco DH-400 motion sensor?
They solve different problems at the door. The Securitron XMS is a request to exit motion sensor - it detects a person approaching a locked door and cuts power to the magnetic lock so the door releases for egress. The MS Sedco DH-400 FRM-AI is a combination motion and presence sensor for automatic doors, meaning it activates and guards a powered operator rather than releasing a maglock. If the opening has an automatic door operator, the DH-400 is the sensor class; if the opening has a magnetic lock and a manual door, the XMS is.
10) Can I use an automatic sliding door sensor in place of a request to exit sensor?
No - they are not interchangeable. The MS Sedco DH100-CT FRM-AI is an activation and presence sensor for automatic sliding and folding doors, and the MS Sedco MicroStar-M is a microwave motion sensor with HPR for automatic door activation. Both are built to trigger and safeguard a door operator. The Securitron XMS is a request to exit device whose output releases a magnetic lock so a person can exit a secured swing door hands free. A sensor that activates an operator will not perform the REX release function an access control system expects.
11) How big is the Securitron XMS sensor housing?
The XMS housing measures 1-3/4 by 1.87 inches, so it's a small surface unit that sits above the door without eating much header. Worth checking against your frame face or the stop height if you're mounting on a narrow header or a glass front transom rail.
12) What are the alternatives to the Securitron XMS if I need a REX sensor with a built-in sounder or a black housing?
For an audible local alert at the door, the Bosch DS160 PIR request to exit detector includes a sounder. If the finish has to match dark hardware or a black storefront header, the Camden CM-RQE70 Series comes in white or black housing and runs on 12 to 24V with an adjustable infrared pattern. Other straight REX options are the Alarm Controls SREX-100 with adjustable time delay, the Bosch DS150i Series, the Detex MN01 and MN02 Series with dual-pyroelectric detection, and the Locknetics EMS-100, which ships with ceiling and surface mount adapters if you need to come off the ceiling instead of the header.
13) Does the XMS have a dry contact output I can run back to my access control panel?
The XMS provides a request to exit (REX) output, so besides breaking lock power it gives the panel the signal it needs to shunt the door contact and log the exit rather than throwing a forced-door alarm. That's the connection integrators wire back to the controller on any maglock opening tied into an access system.
14) How many versions of the Securitron XMS are there, or do I have to pick options when ordering?
One part number covers it. The XMS ships as a single model, the exit motion sensor itself, with no finish, handing, or voltage variants to specify, since the same unit accepts 12 or 24VDC and the beam pattern and relock time are set in the field. The only thing you're likely to add to the order is the emergency exit button Securitron recommends alongside it.
15) Which exit motion sensor uses dual pyroelectric detection to cut down on false triggers?
The Detex MN01 and MN02 series passive infrared motion sensors use dual-pyroelectric detection, which is worth specifying on an opening where drafts or passing traffic near the door have caused nuisance releases. The Securitron XMS is also a passive infrared sensor and handles coverage a different way, with an easily adjustable beam pattern that lets the installer narrow the detection zone to the egress area.
16) I need a request to exit sensor in a black housing to match dark storefront trim - what are my options?
The Camden CM-RQE70 series request-to-exit motion sensors are offered in white or black housing and run on 12 to 24V with an adjustable infrared pattern, so they are the choice when the header trim is dark and the sensor needs to disappear into it. The Securitron XMS runs on 12 or 24VDC as well, with a housing measuring 1-3/4 inches high by 1.87 inches wide.
17) Which request to exit sensors run on the same 12 to 24 volt supply so I can standardize across a building?
The Securitron XMS runs on 12 or 24VDC, and the Camden CM-RQE70 series request-to-exit motion sensors also run on 12 to 24V, so both can be fed from the same low voltage power supply used for the maglocks. Standardizing on one voltage across the openings means one power supply spec, one wire gauge and one set of spares for the facility.
18) What should I use instead of the Securitron XMS if the sensor has to mount on the ceiling?
The Locknetics EMS-100 exit motion sensor ships with both ceiling and surface mount adapters, which covers an opening where there is no usable header above the door or where the coverage has to come from overhead in the lobby. The Securitron XMS offers versatile mounting options and an adjustable infrared beam pattern for covering the egress area, in a housing 1-3/4 inches high by 1.87 inches wide.
19) Is a microwave motion sensor an equivalent to a PIR request to exit sensor?
They detect by different physics and serve different roles. The MS Sedco MicroStar-M is a microwave motion sensor with HPR intended for automatic door activation. The Securitron XMS is a passive infrared device that senses body heat from a person approaching the door and issues a request to exit output to drop the magnetic lock. For a secured egress door on an access control system, specify a REX device such as the XMS, the Alarm Controls SREX-100 or the Bosch DS150i rather than an operator activation sensor.
20) Which exit motion sensors offer an adjustable time delay before the lock re-secures?
The Securitron XMS provides an adjustable time relock, and the Alarm Controls SREX-100 infrared request to exit motion sensor also has an adjustable time delay. That adjustment matters on a slow moving opening - a corridor door in a healthcare or senior living facility - where the lock must stay released long enough for the person to get through before it re-secures.
21) Is the Securitron XMS suitable for a commercial building or is it a residential device?
It's a commercial access control device. The XMS is built for electrified openings in commercial buildings, released with 12 or 24VDC control power and listed to ANSI/UL 294, which is what a facility spec or an integrator's submittal usually calls for. It isn't a residential motion detector.
