Alarm Controls Corporation PBL-1 Latching Panic Button

Product Description

The ALARM CONTROLS CORPORATION PBL-1 is a latching panic button designed for access control and exit device applications. It provides one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) contact output, allowing integration with a wide range of alarm and door control systems. The latching action holds the button in its activated state until manually reset, making it suitable for situations where a sustained signal is required. Licensed electricians and security system technicians are the typical installers for this type of device.

The PBL-1 is used in commercial and light industrial settings where a dedicated panic or emergency egress button is required. It fits into exit device panels, security control stations, and access control enclosures. Its dual-contact output supports both alarm trigger circuits and door release circuits simultaneously, reducing the need for additional relay hardware in many standard installations.
