Alarm monitoring of panic bars on emergency exit doors can be carried out using any of the following solutions whilst allowing people to escape with a one handed operation in the event of an emergency in accordance with EN1125:
Mechanical ExitPanicbarAlarm – protects the panic bar with a horizontally adjustable trigger angle. When the panic bar is pushed the red upper fixing clip of the security seal breaks off and the door can be used
ExitPanicbarAlarm – this battery operated panic bar alarm does not require wiring and is therefore simple to install. The unit is either glued or screwed to the door leaf and the trigger angle is attached to the alarm unit with a red fixing clip. The angle is then adjusted so that it is situated underneath the panic bar. When the panic bar is used the fixing clip breaks off and an acoustic alarm is activated. The unit can only be switched off by an authorised person using a key and is reactivated by attaching a new clip
ExitDoorShield for Panic Bars – an adaptation of ExitDoorShield (see separate section) which enables the unit to be fitted underneath the panic bar. The operation advantages of this unit are that it offers single or continuous release, incorporates an acoustic and optical alarm and can be used on all protruding panic bars.
