About DETEX

DETEX is a manufacturer of door alarm systems and related hardware, with a product line centered on exit alarms, push levers, and replacement components. The brand is known for its focus on security and life-safety applications, particularly in commercial and industrial facilities where controlled egress is required. DETEX products are designed to meet standard building code requirements for exit door alarms, providing audible alerts when doors are opened without authorization or during emergency egress. The product range includes standard door alarms, door alarm push levers, and rim cylinders, all of which are available in multiple configurations to suit different door types and installation environments.

DETEX alarms are available in both battery-powered (9 V DC) and electrically corded (0.5 V DC or 24 V AC) versions, allowing for flexibility in power source selection based on site requirements. The alarms typically produce a 100 dB sound level, using either horn or siren sound types, and are housed in plastic or steel bodies with gray or black finishes. Cylinder types include mortise and rim configurations, with options for keyed cylinders to restrict unauthorized access. The EAX series (e.g., EAX-2500F, EAX-300, EAX-500) and ECL series (e.g., ECL-600, ECL-230D) represent the core product families, with variations in power source, sound type, and material to match specific application needs.

3G Electric supplies DETEX door alarms and replacement parts globally, offering multiple SKUs that cover standard alarms, push levers, and rim cylinders. The inventory includes both complete alarm units and individual components such as the ECL-445K-7 rim cylinder, enabling maintenance teams to replace worn or damaged parts without replacing the entire alarm system. 3G Electric provides datasheets and logistics support to assist engineers and procurement specialists in selecting the correct DETEX products for their projects, whether for new installations or retrofits in commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, or industrial facilities.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about DETEX from 3G Electric.

What power source options are available for DETEX exit door alarms?

DETEX exit door alarms are available in battery-powered (9 V DC) and electrically corded (0.5 V DC or 24 V AC) configurations. Battery-powered models, such as the EAX-300 and ECL-600, are suitable for locations where wiring is impractical or where backup power is needed. Electrically corded models, like the EAX-2500F and EAX-2500S, require a constant power supply and are often used in facilities with existing electrical infrastructure. The choice depends on installation requirements and local code compliance.

What is the difference between the DETEX EAX and ECL series door alarms?

The DETEX EAX series includes standard door alarms with a horn sound type, typically in a plastic body with a mortise cylinder. The ECL series includes door alarm push levers with a siren sound type, housed in a steel body with a rim cylinder. The EAX models are designed for surface-mounted applications, while the ECL models feature a push-lever mechanism for easier egress. Both series produce a 100 dB sound level and are available in gray or black finishes.

Can I replace the cylinder on a DETEX door alarm without replacing the entire unit?

Yes, DETEX offers replacement rim cylinders, such as the ECL-445K-7, which are compatible with certain DETEX door alarm models. This allows maintenance personnel to replace a worn or damaged cylinder without replacing the entire alarm assembly. The rim cylinder is designed for use with rim-type alarms and can be ordered separately from 3G Electric. Always verify compatibility with your specific alarm model before ordering.

What sound levels do DETEX door alarms produce?

DETEX door alarms are rated to produce a 100 dB sound level at a specified distance, which is typical for exit alarms in commercial and industrial settings. This sound level is sufficient to alert occupants and security personnel in most indoor environments. The sound type varies by model: horn (EAX series) or siren (ECL series). Both types meet standard audibility requirements for egress alarms.

Are DETEX door alarms available in different colors and materials?

Yes, DETEX door alarms are available in gray or black finishes, with alarm bodies made from plastic or steel. Plastic-bodied models (e.g., EAX-2500F) are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, suitable for indoor use. Steel-bodied models (e.g., ECL-600) offer increased durability and are often used in high-traffic areas. The choice of material and color can be matched to the door hardware and aesthetic requirements of the facility.
