HES 1200DE Delayed Egress Magnetic Lock 1200 lb
When you need to secure emergency exits while maintaining code compliance, the delayed egress magnetic lock solves the conflict between security and life safety. This 1200 lb holding force electromagnet incorporates a 15 or 30-second delayed egress timer that allows building occupants to exit during emergencies while deterring unauthorized passage and preventing theft or elopement during normal operations. The integrated design meets IBC and NFPA requirements for delayed egress applications in healthcare facilities, retail environments, schools, and secured perimeters.
Key Features
- 1200 lb electromagnetic holding force provides robust security for single doors in high-traffic delayed egress applications
- Field-selectable 15 or 30-second delay timer meets code requirements while deterring unauthorized exit attempts
- Integrated audible alarm alerts staff to exit attempts during the delay period before release
- Fail-safe operation automatically releases on power loss or fire alarm activation for code-compliant life safety
- Single-door configuration simplifies installation on exit doors requiring delayed egress control
- 12/24 VDC dual-voltage operation accommodates most access control and life safety system power supplies
- Built-in REX (request to exit) sensor input and door position switch monitoring provide complete door status feedback
- UL 1034 listed for delayed egress devices ensures code compliance for authority having jurisdiction approval
The 1200DE integrates the electromagnet, delay timer, and alarm system into a single assembly that mounts at the top of the door frame. During normal operation, occupants pressing the exit device trigger the delay timer and alarm, giving staff 15 or 30 seconds to respond before the maglock releases. If fire alarm contacts close or power fails, the lock releases immediately regardless of timer state. The built-in sensor inputs connect to your access control system for monitoring door status and providing authorized credential-based bypass of the delay function.
This delayed egress maglock works in retail back-of-house exits to prevent merchandise theft, behavioral health facilities to control elopement risk, schools to secure perimeter doors during class hours, and any application where you need to balance security against emergency egress requirements. The integrated design eliminates the need to coordinate separate maglocks, timers, and alarm devices, reducing installation complexity and ensuring all components work together for reliable code-compliant operation.
