This unique break glass door release button remains lit up at all times. This is so it can be found should the lights fail in the event of a fire or any other type of emergency.
Once pressed to release the doors, the light turns from white to red and a buzzer sounds. Only once the device is reset with the key provided will the buzzer stop and light revert back to white.
Break Glass is not glass The button mimics the feel of breaking glass without the owner having to go to the cost and trouble of replacing the glass once it has been pressed. Being 100% re-usable, all the owner/operator has to do is simply insert plastic key provided into the front to reactivate the unit (supply with unit).
You can easily tell when button is activated When this break glass unit is activated it permanently unlocks a door until the unit is reset. In addition to the lights changing colour, the sounder will be activated. This sounder can be adjusted as required.
Prevent accidental activation To prevent accidental activation of the unit and to deter malicious activation of the button, this unit is supplied with its own protective cover. This can be easily removed if you would prefer.
No extra signage needed The words EMERGENCY DOOR RELEASE appear on the green plastic area above the break glass button. The standard safe condition/evacuation green is also used to ensure the button is easily located.

Guidance on installing an emergency exit break glass
The break glass must be in as prominent position as possible, especially if it is being used by members of the public. Ideally this should be as close to the door as possible as you want it seen in the case of an emergency. If you have to install it more than 1 metre from the exit door, then we would advise getting sign off from the local fire authority.
