In high-traffic commercial environments, security installers often face the challenge of mounting multiple devices—a hygienic exit sensor and a mandatory emergency release—onto a single, crowded door frame. The Dual Unit Touch Free Exit Button solves this by integrating an infrared (IR) “No-Touch” sensor and a physical emergency break-glass (or reset button) into a single architectural housing. This consolidated design ensures that your doorway remains compliant with both hygiene standards and life-safety fire regulations while maintaining a clean, professional aesthetic.
The Dual Unit Touch Free Exit Button provides the best of both worlds: daily, germ-free operation via the IR sensor for standard staff movement, and a high-visibility manual override for emergency situations. If the access control system fails or the IR sensor loses power, the secondary unit on the Dual Unit Touch Free Exit Button provides a direct, hardwired break to the lock’s power circuit, ensuring a guaranteed exit path for occupants.
Why the Dual Unit Configuration is the Professional Standard
By combining two critical egress points into one chassis, the Dual Unit Touch Free Exit Button simplifies wiring and enhances building safety.
-
Two-in-One Integration: The Dual Unit Touch Free Exit Button reduces installation time and wall clutter by utilizing a single mounting footprint.
-
Hygienic IR Sensor: Features an adjustable detection range ($5\text{cm}$ to $20\text{cm}$) for 100% contactless door release.
-
Integrated Emergency Override: Includes a secondary Green Break-Glass or “Press for Emergency” button for fail-safe fire compliance.
-
Dual-Color LED Status Halo: The Dual Unit Touch Free Exit Button provides clear visual feedback, typically glowing Blue for Standby and Green for Active.
-
Vandal-Resistant Stainless Steel: The faceplate is forged from Grade 304 brushed steel, making the Dual Unit Touch Free Exit Button easy to sanitize and difficult to damage.
-
Independent Relay Outputs: Allows the Dual Unit Touch Free Exit Button to signal both the access control software and the physical lock power simultaneously.
-
Adjustable Exit Timer: Most units feature a built-in potentiometer to hold the door open

Professional Installation for Total Compliance
When installing a Dual Unit Touch Free Exit Button, it is essential to wire the emergency portion of the unit in a “Normally Closed” (NC) configuration directly in series with the lock’s power. This ensures that even if the electronic IR sensor fails, the physical activation of the emergency unit will drop the power to the magnet or strike.
For maximum visibility, the Dual Unit Touch Free Exit Button should be mounted at a height of approximately $1000\text{mm}$ to $1200\text{mm}$. The consolidated nature of the Dual Unit Touch Free Exit Button makes it perfect for hospital clean rooms, laboratory airlocks, and modern corporate lobbies where safety cannot be sacrificed for style. Equip your facility with a Dual Unit Touch Free Exit Button—the definitive choice for hygienic, fail-safe security.
The Dual Unit – Combined Emergency Door Release and Stainless Steel “Touch Free Exit” Button is a versatile solution designed to maximise safety and hygiene in access control systems. This innovative unit combines a traditional emergency door release with a modern stainless steel touch-free sensor, giving users both manual and contactless exit options.
