CQR Electronic Panic Alarm Button, Plus, Grade 3, Keyless Reset EPA-NG/PLUS/SS/G3

What this button is for

A panic button lets staff or a resident call for help without reaching a keypad. It is usually fixed where someone can reach it quickly and quietly, and it is one of the panic and personal alarms that connect to an intruder alarm.

This CQR model is electronic rather than mechanical. Its behaviour is chosen at installation, so one device can be set to suit the site.

How it works

  • Pushing it: operation is by push. One or two button operation sets how many buttons have to be used. Two buttons generally make an accidental alarm less likely.
  • Confirmed operation: confirmed alarms are a way to separate a single signal from a deliberate, repeated one. The second relay gives that signal its own output.
  • Latching and non latching: a latching device stays in alarm until someone resets it. A non latching one clears itself.

Where to use it

Environmental class II normally means a protected indoor position. Counters, reception desks and offices are typical places for a panic button.

The four security grades are set out in the guide to the British standard for intruder alarms. The grade of a whole system depends on more than one device, so agree the position and the response with whoever manages the alarm.

Installing it

  • Jumpers: each mode is picked with a jumper, so decide the set-up before the wiring is finished. Note it down for whoever services the system later.
  • Fixing: surface fitting is simpler on a finished wall, while flush fitting takes a box in the wall. Measure the position on site first.
  • Tamper: the cover is tamper protected. In most installations the tamper is wired back to the panel's tamper circuit.

Planning your system

The button needs an alarm panel with a zone to take its signal, and alarm cable to reach it. Choose the resistor type the panel expects before wiring.

If confirmed operation is used, plan a second zone for the extra output. Add the button's supply to the load on the panel's auxiliary output when sizing the battery.
