Retail stores, restaurants, schools, banks, Government agencies and many other businesses must provide a free egress at their exit doors to comply with life safety requirements. Typically a panic bar will suffice, but what do you do when you’re concerned about theft through these doors? You use an alarmed panic bar, and there isn’t a higher quality unit than the Dorma 9300 BPA. Only in the event of a fire or legitimate emergency should anyone be exiting the door with your Dorma 9300 BPA installed. When someone attempts an unauthorized exit, or tries to make a dash for the parking lot with your stuff, you’ll know it by means of the alarm. The 9300 BPA emergency exit bar contains a 102 decibel alarm, loud enough to bring immediate attention to the situation so a manager or security can get over there fast. Alarm is contained inside the rail assembly and touchbar. Alarm sounds continuously until it is reset by inserting and turning a key in the furnished lock cylinder.The exiting time is 10 seconds once the push pad is depressed, and is indicated by a flashing red LED on the touchbar. After 10 seconds, a yellow LED in the touchbar will flash until manually reset by key to indicate an unauthorized exit even if the alarm has automatically reset.
