Alarm Controls PBM-5-1 Momentary Push Button Stainless

Product Description

The Alarm Controls Corporation PBM-5-1 is a momentary push button switch designed for access control and door release applications in commercial and light industrial settings. Built from 302 stainless steel, it offers a single normally open (N/O) contact configuration in a single-gang form factor. When the button is pressed, the contact momentarily closes, sending a signal to an access control panel, electric strike, or magnetic lock to release a door. Electricians and low-voltage security technicians are the primary installers of this device.

This push button is suited for use in exit device and egress applications where a momentary signal is required to trigger a door release system. Its single-gang sizing fits standard electrical wall boxes, making it straightforward to integrate into new construction or retrofit installations alongside access control panels, electric strikes, and electromagnetic locks. The 302 stainless steel construction suits environments where durability and corrosion resistance are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or low-voltage security technician. Power down the access control panel and any connected door hardware before wiring. Mount in a standard single-gang electrical box and connect the N/O contact leads to the corresponding terminals on the access control panel or electric strike controller per the panel manufacturer's wiring diagram. Verify local codes including NEC Article 725 for low-voltage control wiring requirements before installation.
