What technical requirements must emergency doors meet?
The evacuation button is used to release the door lock in the event of, for example, a controller failure. This exit button really increases safety and allows for a quick evacuation. It is worth paying attention to the technical requirements it must meet. First of all, we distinguish evacuation buttons, which are an element of access control. They are located in a green housing. They have a transparent glass. It is also worth noting that there is an inscription on the housing - break the glass or press. It can be a single-use model. After using it, i.e. after breaking the glass, there is no need to replace the entire button, but only the glass itself.
An alternative are reusable evacuation buttons. The difference is that the glass does not break when activated. After the crisis situation is resolved, the button returns to its previous state. Therefore, this model also has glass, but it is more practical, if only because it does not have to be replaced. It is equipped with a transparent cover that prevents accidental use and unnecessary activation of the alarm. The fact that the button works on the principle of appropriate switching of contacts is also important. The housing consists of a front and rear part, which are resistant to mechanical damage. Therefore, when the button is activated, the alarm is activated and, for example, an evacuation can be carried out. The power circuit in the evacuation button is opened. Then the door also opens automatically. You can decide on a surface-mounted exit button, but a flush-mounted button is also a good solution.
How to choose the right emergency door button?
The emergency door opening button should have a strong switch, pressing it must activate the wires, which are then responsible for opening the electric lock, and consequently opening the door. The evacuation button should be distinguished by a durable housing and solidity. It is part of the fire protection system. Do not forget that such a button must be located in every public place, and precisely near the door on the evacuation route. You should also know that everywhere where there is an access control system, i.e. in important and strategic places, such a button must be located.
It can also be part of an alarm system, so wherever there is a need for protection or limited access, such a button must be placed. In the case of internal doors, you can choose models that have intensive backlighting and are also equipped with an alarm function. The surface-mounted model works better indoors, while the flush-mounted one works better outdoors, as it is more resistant to changing weather conditions.
The button is equipped with one contact, which is used for connection. It is activated when the glass is broken and the button is pressed. To mount the button, you can use flush-mounted cables, which are usually included in the set. The relay contact allows you to control the electric strike or electromagnetic lock. When it comes to dimensions, such a button is standardly 86/87/52 mm in size. Basic tools are enough to screw in the cables, so even assembly is not a problem.
You can also use standard plugs and a flush-mounted mounting box. The evacuation button can also be unlocked in another way, e.g. with a key. It should be located close to the button sockets. The rear part has a hole for pulling the cables through. This model really stands out for its reliability. You can also say about its great functionality.
