EX-07/EX-17

Non-Sparking Digital Tactile REX Button

Installation Manual

1.

Introduction

Rosslare’s EX-07/EX-17 electronic REX buttons control the access of a magnetic lock or electric lock strike. The EX-07 and EX-17 are heavyduty, non-sparking, non-magnetic, corrosion resistant, illuminated, antivandal, timed digital REX (Request-for-Exit) buttons, designed for both indoor and outdoor use.

They feature solid state Piezoelectric Switch Technology generating 2 isolated Form C output pulses with a simple touch of a finger, with no physical movement or moving parts.

Among the many features of the EX-07 and EX-17 are: Jumper selectable illumination status with light dimming option, buzzer mode, 2 Form C relays, timed operation, and relay toggle option.

The EX-07 and EX-17 mount directly to standard US-size gang switchboxes and are crafted to the highest manufacturing standards out of the finest materials under Rosslare’s ISO 9001:2000 Certified Quality standards.

Timer

Lighting Behavior

2.2

The EX-07/17 is equipped with 8 jumpers (see

Section 4)

The timed option (External 1) is set by a built-in potentiometer for 1 to 60 seconds

When a colored light toggles on or off, it dims from the On to Off state and lights up from the Off to On state at a duration of about 500 ms. The dimming or lighting duration starts on the on or off command.

In the case of toggling between two colors, the effect results in gradual color change between red and green.

Installation

3.1

Selecting an Area for Installation

You need to select the best physical location to install the EX-07/EX17.

The EX-07/EX-17 REX button has a face plate attached to an inlay that is imbedded in a wall with all of its wiring. The EX-07/17 should be connected to additional equipment in the same room.

To select a physical location:

1.

Select a flat wall in close proximity to the door or item the REX button will control.

2.

Ensure that there are no iron beams, door frames, or other obstructions that would prevent the insertion of the inlay in the wall.

3.

Stick the mounting plate provided on the wall to ensure quick and easy installation of the product.

4.

Mark the dimensions of the inlay on the wall:

70 x 38 x 27 mm (2.75 x 1.47 x 1.06 in.)

Figure 3 provides a view of the back of the inlay.

Figure 3: Inlay Back View

3.2

Mounting the REX Button

To mount the REX button:

1.

Make a hole in the wall measuring the required dimensions, adding

0.5 cm (1/8”) on all sides for the gang box to slide in smoothly.

2.

Unscrew the cover on the small box containing the jumpers and potentiometer.

3.

Using a small screwdriver, set the time on the potentiometer.

Turning the timer clockwise all the way sets the timer for one second. Turning the timer counter-clockwise all the way sets the timer for 60 seconds.

4.

Connect the wires as described in Section 3.3.

5.

Set the jumper connections located on the bottom right side of the

inlay box (see Section 4)

6.

Screw the sealed cover back on the small box containing the jumpers and potentiometer.

7.

Test the REX button before screwing the inlay to the gang box (see

Section 5).

8.

Place the inlay with face plate in the gang box, making sure screw alignment is correct and the face plate lies flush against the wall.

9.

Insert screws in the face plate and screw tightly to ensure a water tight seal that protects the inner wiring.

3.3

Wiring Information

A 10-wire cable is embedded in the back inlay.

Connect this product to 12 to 24 VAC/VDC connections using the white and red wires. Make sure that, if needed, the unit is grounded (GND) correctly.

To wire the unit correctly, refer to Table 1.

Jumper Settings

The EX-07/EX-17 has 8 internal jumpers (Figure 4).

Figure 4: Jumpers

These are connected to enable the following various features::

 Setting the relay mode (JP1)

 Setting the LED behavior (JP2, JP3)

 Setting the LED color mode (JP4)

 Setting color fading mode (JP5)

 Setting the factory programming mode(JP6)

 Setting the buzzer mode (JP7)

 Setting the blink mode (JP8)

If the black cover is on the jumper, the jumper is Short (S). If the black cover is off the jumper, the jumper is Open (O).

4.2

Relay Mode Jumper

Set the relay mode by setting JP1:

 JP1=O: (default) Relay pulses for the time period set by the potentiometer.

 JP1=S: Relay toggles between on and off.

Buzzer Mode Jumper

The unit is equipped with a built-in buzzer. Set the buzzer mode by setting JP7:

 JP7=O: (default) Buzzer OFF. No sound generated on any event.

 JP7=S: Buzzer ON.

 Blink input mode: The buzzer pulses following the lighting duty cycle.

 Any other state: The buzzer beeps for 300 ms when the button is pressed.

4.3

Blink Mode Jumper

This feature functions with the Input wire (green).

To enter blink mode, JP8 must be shorted to enable entering blink mode and the blink input wire (green) must be grounded to set the LED illumination according to the table above.

 JP8=O (default): Timer. The timer is off. The timer turns on when the button is pressed.

 JP8=S: Blink. Normally off. If there is a continuous external input signal, there is continuous flashing (500 ms/30% DC)

5.

Testing the REX Button

After connecting the wires and setting the jumpers, test the EX-07/EX-17

REX button before screwing in the face plate.

To test the REX button:

1.

Press the button on the EX-07/ EX-17.

2.

Check to see if the electronic lock or lock strike opens and the desired light and timer settings activate.

3.

Make sure the LED returns to its base color.

4.4

LED Behavior Mode Jumpers

Set the LED color and behavior modes by setting JP2, JP3 and JP4.
