1. DESCRIPTION
The model 4399 is a spring loaded momentary 2" square, exit button, mounted on a stainless steel single gang outlet box cover. The SPDT contacts switch when the button is depressed and returns when it is released. The contacts are UL listed with 10 AMP capacity. The 4399 can be used for momentary release of fail safe or fail secure electric locks. If interfaced with a release hold timer, it can provide for timed release of electric locks. It may also be used to input a REX (request to exit) signal to a card reader system. We recommend that the local building or fire safety authority be consulted prior to using exit buttons for door egress. They may require a "no special knowledge" exit device such as **Securitron's Touch Sense Bar.
2. INSTALLATION
As the 4399 is an economy version, it is supplied without back box and hookup wire. Connection is made via .250" quick connect terminals on the rear of the unit. To connect these terminals, the installer may use push on connectors to which wires are crimped or wires may be directly soldered to the terminals through the hole provided. If a back box is used, the installer should select a box with a minimum depth of 2 1/2". The drawing below shows identification of the switch's common, normally closed and normally open terminals.

3. WIRING
The 4399 can be used in many different applications but the drawings below show two common ones: momentary release of a fail safe or fail secure electric lock and timed release of a fail safe electric lock using the 4399 and SARGENT's #TMR2 - Multi-Function Timer or #TMR9 - Release Hold Timer. Momentarily pressing the button will release the lock for the amount of time set on the TMR. The wiring is also done in double break fashion so that even if the timer fails, the button will be able to momentarily release the lock for added safety.
