Weatherized V40 Rim Exit Device | 15-Second Delayed Egress | Less Dogging | 628 Satin Aluminum | Complete Outdoor EasyKit

The Detex WDE-V40EEX-W-LD-628 Weatherized Delayed Egress EasyKit is a complete outdoor delayed-egress solution designed for commercial exits, gates, and other openings exposed to weather or moisture.

The system combines a weatherized Detex V40 Value Series rim exit device with a factory-programmed delayed-egress controller/power supply and the components needed to create a coordinated delayed-egress opening. When an exit attempt is made, the system provides a 15-second delay and audible alarm, helping control unauthorized egress while maintaining required life-safety functionality.

Unlike delayed-egress systems that depend on an electromagnetic lock, the V40 EEX configuration uses an internal blocker and pushpad switching within the exit device, allowing the panic hardware itself to provide the delayed-exit function.

Delayed Egress Operation

When pressure is applied to the exit device, the system initiates the delayed-egress sequence. The EasyKit is designed to provide a 15-second delay before allowing exit while activating an audible alarm to alert personnel to the attempted egress.

The controller also provides a connection for fire alarm override, allowing the delayed-egress system to respond appropriately as part of the building's life-safety system.

Weatherized Construction

The WDE system is specifically designed for applications where weather, moisture, or outdoor exposure could affect conventional door hardware.

Detex uses weatherized switching and corrosion-resistant components, while the controller/power supply is protected in a NEMA 4X enclosure for added resistance to moisture and corrosive environments.
