The V40xEXxW device option is designed for doors or gates that require a means of switching when someone depresses the pushpad on the panic device during egress in a moist, outdoor or other such application. Always used in conjunction with other security items, the V40xEXxW provides a normally closed or normally open contact that can be used for a variety of different uses such as turning on a remote horn or strobe, turning off a magnetic lock during egress or used to initiate a delayed egress system. The V40xEXxW is UL listed as panic and fire exit hardware as well as UBC standard 7-2 (positive pressure).
