    Las Vegas, NV (April 5, 2006) – Dortronics Systems Inc. is introducing a new series of heavy duty, stainless steel Piezo Switches. The 5277-PZL Series Piezo Switches debuting at ISCW are ideally suited for installation in heavy usage applications due to their rugged construction and responsive Piezo actuator.

    “By combining the benefits of Piezo technology with a stainless steel mounting plate and a solid state, stainless steel exit button, we can offer our customers a nearly indestructible and high performance switch,” said John FitzPatrick, Vice President, Dortronics Systems, Inc. “This new series adds more depth to our extensive line of exit releases, enabling us to offer our customers the best choice for door control.”

    Application flexibility is built into the new 5277 Series, including a selectable on/off switch, red/green LED illumination status ring and an adjustable time delay of 1 to 40 seconds. It can be used to control automatic doors, electric strike lock or magnetic locks as well as remote bypass (REX) input of an access control system. It can also be used to shunt an alarm system to allow egress from a secured area.

    For convenience of installation, the Piezo Switch mounts directly to a standard U.S. single gang switch box and includes a set of both normally closed and normally open contacts. The unit has an input voltage of 12 to 24V DC.

    Attractively designed with beveled edges on all exposed surfaces, all units are furnished with standard slotted head screws as well as Pin in Hex tamper resistant screws. Both screw sets are stainless steel for corrosion protection. Custom engraving options, including text and color, are available in addition to the standard engraving.

    Dortronics Systems, Inc. is the industry's "quick-ship" supplier of standard and custom finish access control products including electromagnetic locks; power supplies; key switch controls; pushbutton controls; digital keypad controls; delayed egress controls; alarm annunciators and controllers; high security locks; egress bar door releases; and emergency pull stations.
