SECURITRON PB4L SERIES EXIT BUTTON
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. DESCRIPTION
The model PB4L series illuminated exit button is an all steel unit specially designed to resist
vandalism. The button cannot be removed or tampered with from the outside. It is designed to
resist shocks such as hammer blows. A bi-color indicator LED is included. Part number PB4L
calls out a momentary spring loaded DPDT button on a single gang stainless steel plate with 4
Amp rated contacts. Adding the suffix "N" identifies the same unit on a 1 3/4" wide narrow stile
plate. Adding the suffix "A" changes the push button switch to alternate action (push on/push
off).
The PB4L can be used for momentary release of fail safe or fail secure electric locks. If
interfaced with a release hold timer, such as Securitron's TimeMate TM-9, it can provide for
timed release of electric locks. It may also be used to input a REX (request to exit) signal to a
card reader system. We recommend that the local building or fire safety authority be consulted
prior to using exit buttons for door egress. They may require a "no special knowledge" exit
device such as Securitron's Touch Sense Bar.
2. INSTALLATION
The PB4L series comes with a retrofit mounting device and color coded hookup wires installed.
A choice of fasteners is also supplied. The installer may elect to use standard 6-32 slot screws
or the 6-32 spanner head screws, which provide a degree of tamper proofing. The drawing
below shows identification of the unit's connection points.
