A rugged, wall-mounted emergency "mushroom" button designed for immediate alarm activation. It features a twist-to-reset mechanism and is built into a durable, brushed stainless steel faceplate labeled "DURESS" for clear identification in emergencies.
This professional-grade duress button is a critical component of any integrated security or building management system.
- Activation Mechanism: Features a large, red "mushroom head" button that is easy to strike in a high-stress situation. Once pressed, it latches into the "alarm" position to prevent accidental cancellation.
- Twist-to-Reset: The button requires a deliberate clockwise twist (indicated by the white arrows) to release and reset the alarm, ensuring the emergency has been acknowledged.
- Durable Construction: The heavy-duty brushed stainless steel plate is designed for flush mounting into standard electrical backboxes. It is vandal-resistant and suitable for high-traffic environments like banks, reception desks, and hospitals.
- Installation: Typically features SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) contacts, allowing it to be wired as "Normally Open" or "Normally Closed" to be compatible with almost any alarm control panel.
