Alarm Controls Corporation JP1-5 Pneumatic Time Delay Relay

Product Description

The ALARM CONTROLS CORPORATION JP1-5 is a pneumatic time delay relay designed for use in access control and door hardware applications. It provides one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) output contact configuration, allowing delayed switching action without electronic timing circuits. This type of relay is commonly specified in exit device and push button control circuits where a timed delay between actuation and contact change is required. Licensed electricians and access control technicians are the primary installers of this component.

The JP1-5 is applied in commercial and institutional access control systems, particularly in door release and exit device circuits. It fits into panel assemblies and enclosures where a pneumatic timing mechanism is preferred over solid-state alternatives. Typical installation scenarios include delayed egress door hardware, electric strike control, and push button entry systems in schools, healthcare facilities, and office buildings.

Key Features

• Pneumatic timing mechanism provides delay without electronic components
• 1 normally open (NO) contact output for timed switching
• 1 normally closed (NC) contact output for complementary circuit control
• Designed for use in exit device and push button control circuits
• Sold as individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade component for pneumatic time delay relay applications in commercial exit device and push button control systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified access control technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all associated circuits and discharge any stored energy before handling or wiring the relay. Verify contact ratings are appropriate for the connected load before placing the circuit in service. Do not exceed the relay contact ratings for voltage or current.
