Alarm Controls Corporation DE-1RED Delayed Egress Push Button

Product Description

The ALARM CONTROLS CORPORATION DE-1RED is a delayed egress push button featuring a red lens, designed for use in access control and emergency egress applications. This device is installed at controlled exit points to provide a time-delayed release mechanism, allowing building occupants to exit while maintaining security protocols. It is a single-unit exit device suited for commercial and institutional environments where code-compliant delayed egress is required. Licensed electricians and low-voltage security technicians are the primary installers of this type of hardware.

The DE-1RED is applied at interior exit doors in commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other occupancies where delayed egress door hardware is permitted by the local authority having jurisdiction. It is used in conjunction with electromagnetic door locking systems and access control panels to create a compliant egress path that deters unauthorized exit while remaining life-safety code aware. The red lens provides a clear visual indicator at the push button location.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or credentialed low-voltage security technician in accordance with NFPA 101 and local building codes governing delayed egress hardware. Disconnect and lock out all power to the access control panel and door locking hardware before beginning installation or wiring work. Verify local authority having jurisdiction approval for delayed egress use before mounting, as not all occupancy types permit this hardware configuration. Follow the manufacturer wiring diagram and confirm proper functional testing of the delay sequence before returning the door to service.
