Alarm Controls Corporation 450 Flush Push Button Switch

Product Description

The ALARM CONTROLS CORPORATION 450 is a normally open (N/O) flush-mount push button switch designed for access control and door release applications. When the button is depressed, the circuit closes momentarily, triggering the connected latch, lock, or exit device downstream. The flush form factor keeps the switch flush with the mounting surface for a clean, professional installation. This type of switch is a standard component in low-voltage access control systems and is typically installed by licensed electricians or security systems technicians.

The 450 is suited for use in commercial and light industrial environments where a code-compliant, hands-free or push-to-exit egress solution is required. It is commonly mounted beside doors, gates, or controlled entry points as part of a broader access control or electric strike system. The flush-mount design makes it appropriate for drywall, metal stud, and hollow-core door frame installations where a recessed or low-profile switch is preferred.

Key Features

• Normally open (N/O) contact configuration — circuit closes on button press
• Flush-mount form factor for low-profile, wall-box installation
• Designed for use in exit device and push-to-exit applications
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for low-voltage access control systems utilizing normally open push-to-exit or door release circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage security technician. Power down the access control panel and de-energize all associated circuits before wiring the switch. Follow local NEC requirements for low-voltage wiring, conduit fill, and gang-box mounting. Do not exceed the rated electrical load of the switch contacts when connecting to lock, latch, or relay inputs.
