SECURITRON
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SECURITRON from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the Securitron MUNL-12 and MUNL-24 mortise electric strikes?
The primary difference is the input voltage. The MUNL-12 operates on 12V, while the MUNL-24 operates on 24V. Both are mortise electric strikes with a height of 4 7/8 inches and are available in stainless steel or brass finishes. The MUNL-24 carries a Performance Duty Rating of 1 (Heavy Duty). When selecting, match the strike voltage to your access control power supply. Both models are designed to release a mortise lockset's latchbolt remotely. Ensure the strike fits the door frame and lockset configuration. 3G Electric can source either model based on your voltage and finish requirements.
Are Securitron panic bars ADA compliant?
Yes, the Securitron panic bars listed, such as the EMB-BK and DTSB-CL-42, are ADA compliant. ADA compliance for panic bars typically relates to the force required to operate the bar and its mounting height. The EMB-BK is a touchbar-style panic bar with a black metal finish, 36 inches wide. The DTSB-CL-42 is a touchbar-style panic bar, 42 inches wide, with a gray finish. Both feature push operation. When installing, follow ADA guidelines for mounting height and clear width. 3G Electric supplies these models and can provide dimensional data to assist with compliance verification.
What is the Securitron BR-4 bridge rectifier used for?
The Securitron BR-4 is a plastic bridge rectifier that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). It is used in voltage boosting and regulation circuits within industrial control panels. Bridge rectifiers are commonly employed in power supplies for access control systems to provide the DC voltage required by electrified door hardware such as electric strikes and magnetic locks. The BR-4 is a component-level part, so it is typically installed by qualified technicians. 3G Electric stocks the BR-4 for applications requiring AC-to-DC conversion in door control circuits.
What are the dimensions of the Securitron PB5 push-to-exit button?
The Securitron PB5 push-to-exit button measures 4 1/2 inches in height, 5/8 inch in depth, and 2 3/4 inches in width. It has a green housing with a green/red color scheme and is ADA compliant. The compact size allows installation on narrow door frames or walls. The push-button operation provides a request-to-exit signal to the access control system. The PB5 is suitable for commercial and industrial applications where a manual exit device is needed. 3G Electric supplies the PB5 and can provide spec sheets for integration.
Can Securitron electric strikes be used with mortise locksets?
Yes, Securitron mortise electric strikes are specifically designed for use with mortise locksets. Models like the MUNL-12, MUNL-12-US3, MUNL-24, and MUNL-24-US3 are intended to release a mortise lock's latchbolt upon receiving an electrical signal. They are available in stainless steel and brass, with a standard height of 4 7/8 inches. The strike replaces the standard strike plate in the door frame. Voltage must match the power supply (12V or 24V). 3G Electric can help select the correct model based on your lockset and voltage.
What is the Performance Duty Rating on Securitron MUNL-24?
The Securitron MUNL-24 has a Performance Duty Rating of 1, which is designated as Heavy Duty. This rating indicates the strike is intended for high-traffic or demanding applications where frequent operation is expected. The MUNL-24 is a stainless steel mortise electric strike, 1 1/4 inches wide and 4 7/8 inches high, operating on 12V input. When specifying, consider the duty rating alongside voltage and finish. 3G Electric supplies the MUNL-24 and can provide documentation on its performance characteristics.
