Restore a compatible Detex Advantex delayed-egress exit device with the Detex 104023-1 Replacement Center Case Assembly.

The 104023 family is associated with the Advantex EE delayed-egress center-case assembly, combining the mechanical center-case function with the electronics required for compatible EE configurations.

This is a replacement/service component intended for repair of an existing Detex Advantex exit device rather than a complete panic-device assembly.

Important: Detex’s current documentation lists 104023-2 and 104023-3 as the current documented EE center-case configurations. Verify that 104023-1 is the exact part number on the existing device or replacement component before ordering.

Key Features

• Genuine-style Detex replacement component

• Part Number: 104023-1

• Advantex EE center-case assembly

• Designed for compatible Delayed Egress – EE exit devices

• Replacement / repair component

• Restores center-case function on compatible hardware

• Associated with Detex Advantex electrified panic hardware

• Intended for professional commercial-door service

• Helps avoid replacing the complete exit device when only the center case requires service

EE – Delayed Egress Application

Detex’s EE Delayed Egress option is designed for openings requiring an alarmed delayed-release function.

In a properly configured system:

• An exit attempt activates an approximately 100 dB alarm

• The door remains secured during the standard 15-second delay

• The door releases after the programmed delay

• A compatible 24VDC filtered and regulated power supply is required

• Fire-alarm integration is required where applicable

The 9V battery used in an EE system supports the alarm function during power loss; it does not provide delayed-locking power.

Center Case Function

The center case is the primary mechanical chassis at the latch end of the Advantex exit device.

It interfaces with components including:

• Pushpad assembly

• Latch mechanism

• Mounting plate

• Strike

• Delayed-egress electronics

• Device rail and filler plate

Detex mounts Advantex 10 and 40 Series devices to the door through the center case and its associated mounting plate.

Important Part-Number Verification

Detex’s current maintenance documentation identifies the EE center-case family as:

104023-2 – Advantex 10 Series EE Center Case
104023-3 – Advantex 40 Series EE Center Case

The current manual does not identify 104023-1 in the active compatibility chart.

For that reason, this product should be ordered only when:

• 104023-1 is confirmed on the existing component

• Detex Technical Support confirms compatibility

• A distributor cross-reference specifically identifies 104023-1 for the installed device

Do not substitute 104023-2 or 104023-3 solely because the part numbers are similar.

Typical Applications

• Detex Advantex delayed-egress devices

• Commercial emergency exits

• Retail loss-prevention openings

• Schools and universities

• Healthcare facilities

• Government buildings

• Warehouses

• Secure commercial facilities

• Existing Detex EE hardware requiring center-case repair
