Operating Functions

Momentary Operation

Pressing a momentary TS switch changes its electrical contact state.

Releasing the push button returns it to its original condition.

Latching Operation

A latching or alternate-action model maintains its switched state after the button is released.

Another activation changes the state again.

Electronic Timed Release

Timed models activate their designated output for a configured interval following button activation.

The connected controller or lock circuit determines the resulting door-release behavior.

Pneumatic Timed Release

Pneumatic models use a mechanical timing mechanism to maintain contact operation for the configured time without requiring separate electrical power for the timer.

LED Indication

Selected models include separate status LEDs that can be connected to compatible control or monitoring circuits.

These LEDs require suitable electrical connections and do not automatically indicate magnetic bond or door position without appropriate external equipment.

Installation & Compatibility

The Alarm Controls TS Series should be installed by qualified commercial door hardware and access-control professionals.

Before installation:

• Select the correct switch function and contact configuration.

• Verify available wall-plate mounting space.

• Confirm the required electrical box depth.

• Check contact ratings against connected equipment.

• Supply the correct voltage to illuminated buttons and LEDs.

• Use the proper additional resistor where required for 24V operation.

• Connect timed outputs and status indicators according to the specific model's wiring diagram.

• Verify the required release behavior for the opening.

• Test all normal and emergency operating conditions.

Important Installation Information

• TS model specifications vary substantially.

• The entire series does not share one universal contact rating or LED voltage.

• Not every model is illuminated.

• Not every model includes separate status indicators.

• Standard momentary versions do not automatically provide a timed output.

• Latching models should not be substituted for momentary exit controls without confirming the system requirements.

• Pneumatic and electronic timers are different products.

• Selected models are UL 294 listed; verify certification for the actual part number.

• ADA-symbol faceplates do not independently establish compliance with all accessibility requirements.

• A push-to-exit station alone does not guarantee code-compliant electromagnetic-locking or emergency-egress operation.

• Where required, use approved independent release devices, fire-alarm interfaces, and appropriate mechanical egress hardware.

• Standard models should not be assumed weatherproof.

• Install according to manufacturer instructions and the applicable Authority Having Jurisdiction.
