Wiring Diagram

The biggest, most obvious exit control we stock. The large green button gives a far wider strike area than a standard round push button, and that single difference solves a specific set of real problems. It is the button you fit where hesitation at the door is unacceptable.

Who benefits from a large actuator. Elderly users and anyone with reduced dexterity who struggles with a small round button. Staff carrying boxes, trays, or files who need to strike it with an elbow or forearm. Workers wearing gloves in workshops, cold rooms, or food premises. Anyone unfamiliar with the building who must find the exit control immediately in a strange corridor. And low light conditions, where a large green target is found by feel and glance rather than search.

Green is the exit convention. A green control reads as the way out without any signage, internationally and instinctively. On a door used by visitors, patients, or the public, that recognition removes the moment of hesitation where someone looks around wondering how to leave. For care facilities, clinics, and public buildings that recognition is worth paying for.

Where it is typically specified. Hospital and clinic corridors, care facilities, warehouses and workshops, cold stores, food preparation areas, back of house routes in hotels and restaurants, and any door where staff regularly pass through carrying something in both hands.

Stainless steel face plate. The plate carries the mechanism and absorbs the knocks a frequently struck button attracts, particularly where people use an elbow or push a trolley against it. Stainless survives that where a plastic face cracks around the actuator within a year.

NO, NC and COM output. All three contacts are provided, and the correct one depends entirely on your lock. Magnetic locks hold the door while powered, so releasing them requires the circuit to be broken, meaning NC. Electric bolt and strike locks generally use NO. Wiring this backwards produces a door that either never releases or never locks, and it remains the most common installation error on access controlled doors. Tell us your lock and we will confirm.

Mounting height matters more with this one. Because it is often struck rather than pressed with a fingertip, position it where an elbow or forearm naturally lands, typically waist to chest height, on the secure side of the door and clear of the door swing. Where people pass through with trolleys, mount it so the trolley itself does not block access to it.

It is not an emergency exit device. Despite the size and the green colour, this is a normal exit button that depends on the access control system having power. Fire exits and escape route doors generally also require an emergency break glass release that works independently of the system and its supply. Do not let the green face create false confidence about what it does.

Load shedding. The button itself needs no power. What happens during an outage depends on the lock: a magnetic lock releases and the door opens, while a fail secure bolt stays locked. Plan a backup supply, or an emergency release, according to how that door must behave when power is absent.

Can it be operated with an elbow? Yes, and that is one of the main reasons to choose it over a small round button.

Is it an emergency release? No. Fit a break glass release alongside it on escape routes.

Which contact should I use with a magnetic lock? NC.

Does it need its own power supply? No, it is a switch. The lock needs power.
