Choosing the Right Request to Exit Detector

The right request to exit detector depends on the access control system, door type, lock type, mounting location and whether a sound alert function is required. It is important to confirm compatibility with your door hardware and access control equipment before ordering.

Check Door Hardware

Confirm the detector suits the electric lock, magnetic lock or door release setup.

Confirm System Compatibility

Match the detector to the access control controller and door release requirements.

Consider Sound Alert

Choose the DS160 where a sound alert feature is preferred for the application.

Use Professional Installation

Correct mounting and wiring help ensure reliable exit detection and compliant operation.
