Exit Alarm Receiver
Exit Alarm Receivers are low frequency (LF) antennas placed on or near a door frame in an Exit Alarm
Zone. They receive signals from transmitters within a monitored zone and send the signals to the Exit Alarm
Controller, which triggers the alarm process. For more information about Exit Alarm Receivers, see the
DuoLink Exit Alarm Receiver Installation Guide (PN 0510-1003).
Magnetic Reed Switch
The Magnetic Reed Switch is used by an Exit Alarm Controller to
detect that a monitored door is open. The Magnetic Reed Switch
should be mounted at the top of a door near the non-hinged edge. It
comes in two pieces: a switch and a magnet. The switch is mounted
on the door frame; the magnet is attached directly to the door.
When normally closed (NC) reed switches are used on a double
door, connect the switches in series. The provided Magnetic Reed
Switches are normally closed (indicated with a gold Code Alert
logo) when the doors are closed so that opening either door opens
the switch on that door.
CodeLock Electromagnetic Lock
The CodeLock option is an electromagnetic lock attached to an exit and connected to the Exit
Alarm Controller. If a transmitter is detected in the Exit Zone, the CodeLock activates to help stop
the door from opening for as long as the transmitter is within range of the receivers. Refer to the
CodeLock Electromagnetic Door Lock Installation Guide (PN 0510-1002) for information on
installation and operation.
