Stand Alone Access Control Solutions From Securitron and Essex


If a single AC power source is going to be used, the DK-26 provides a DC Tap Output which supplies up to 2 amps of DC for the use with the locking device.

Whether you use a separate power supply for the locking device or not, for additional protection to the DK-26, a MOV is supplied with the DK-26 which attaches across the relay terminals. MOVs are Metal Oxide Varisters which suppress surges and arcing, thereby enhancing system performance and prolonging the life of the switch contacts.

The output relay is DPDT (2 Form “C”) and may be used with fail-safe, fail-secure locks or delayed egress locks such as Securitron’s IMXDa. The output relay contacts are rated at 5 Amps.

The cast stainless steel keypad is equipped with11 EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber keys, is weatherproof and vandal resistant and mounts on any surface including a narrow mullion.

Each button is an individual switch, so the DK-26 offers true 10-digit operation (keys are not paired).
