OEM Emergency Break Glass Green Door Release DPST

Emergency Egress Break Glass

The OEM Emergency Break Glass serves as a vital hardware bypass for electronic access control systems. This manual call point initiates an immediate physical disconnect of the locking power circuit during critical egress scenarios. It adheres to standard safety protocols by providing a visible, tactile method for door release. The green housing distinguishes it from red fire alarm pull stations, reducing user confusion during emergencies. This unit ensures that occupants can exit a building safely even if the primary electronic reader or controller fails to release the electromagnetic lock.

Engineers utilize this device in environments where physical security must meet stringent life safety codes. The internal switching mechanism supports multiple wiring configurations. Professionals can deploy it in series with electromagnetic locks or electric strikes. When the glass fractures, the internal switch triggers, immediately cutting power to the lock. This action allows for immediate evacuation without software intervention. The device operates reliably across a wide range of voltages, typically supporting up to 30V DC, making it compatible with most standard security power supplies.

The construction utilizes high-impact, fire-retardant ABS materials. This ensures durability in industrial or commercial settings where mechanical stress is common. The unit supports surface mounting or flush mounting in standard electrical backboxes. Its double-pole configuration allows for simultaneous lock release and alarm monitoring. This provides a signal to the central monitoring station while locally releasing the door. By isolating the two circuits, the system prevents electrical interference between the security panel and the high-current locking hardware.

Maintenance teams can replace the internal glass pane after activation using standard replacement elements. A dedicated test key allows for periodic functional checks without destroying the glass element. This ensures the system remains operational and compliant with local building regulations. The clear protective cover prevents accidental activation in high-traffic corridors or schools. The terminal blocks inside the unit feature screw-down connectors that accommodate standard security cabling, ensuring a low-resistance electrical path.

Key Features

• Dual-Pole Switching Logic
  The internal mechanism utilizes DPST contacts to manage two separate electrical circuits simultaneously for lock release and status monitoring.

• Structural Integrity

  • Constructed from fire-retardant ABS plastic for thermal resistance in high-temperature environments.
  • Features a high-visibility green finish (RAL 6016) for rapid identification in low-light conditions.

• Installation Versatility
  The 86mm x 86mm footprint fits standard UK and European backboxes for surface or flush mounting applications.
