For use on doors or gates that require a means of signaling when someone depresses the pushpad on the panic device during egress in a moist, outdoor or other such application. Always used in conjunction with other security items, the EXxW provides a normally closed or normally open contact signal to a logic controller. The controller will turn on a remote horn or strobe, control a magnetic lock during egress or initiate a delayed egress system. The EXxW is UL listed as panic and fire exit hardware as well as UBC standard 7-2 (positive pressure).
