Alarm Controls Corporation RP-45M Push Button Momentary

Product Description

The ALARM CONTROLS CORPORATION RP-45M is a push button exit device equipped with a momentary switch for access control and door release applications. Momentary switch operation means the circuit activates only while the button is depressed, making it well suited for electric strikes, magnetic locks, and request-to-exit (REX) trigger points. The RP-45M is a field-proven component installed by licensed electricians and access control technicians in commercial and light industrial facilities. It ships as a single unit and is a direct replacement for the standard RP-45 in applications that specifically require momentary rather than maintained contact output.

The RP-45M is used in access control systems where a momentary dry-contact signal is required to release a door locking device. Typical installations include building entry vestibules, stairwell doors, and controlled egress points in commercial buildings. The momentary action makes it appropriate for use with electric strikes and magnetic locks that require a brief trigger pulse rather than a sustained signal. Access control integrators and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers of this device.

Key Features

• Momentary switch action — circuit closes only while button is held, then releases
• Designed as a push button exit device for access control and door release systems
• Direct upgrade or replacement for the standard RP-45 where momentary contact is required
• Single-unit packaging suitable for individual door installations
• Compact form factor consistent with standard exit button mounting requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade for applications originally using the RP-45 push button, where momentary switch functionality is required in exit device and access control installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified access control technician in accordance with NEC low-voltage wiring requirements. Power down or de-energize the access control panel and any connected locking hardware before wiring or mounting the device. Verify that the connected lock or strike is rated for momentary trigger input before completing the circuit. Follow local AHJ requirements for exit device placement and egress compliance.
