Exit Release Button SCOT BT-7BN with Illumination — Door Release Push Button, Momentary

SCOT BT-7BN is an illuminated exit release push button designed for momentary door release operations. The unit provides a tactile, push-to-release action to control electric locks and release mechanisms. Its illuminated ring increases visibility in dimly lit corridors, stairwells and reception areas, making the exit control easy to find and operate when leaving secured rooms or premises.

Advantages

The SCOT BT-7BN combines a low-profile mechanical switch with integrated illumination to offer reliable momentary operation and clear visual feedback. Its construction suits standard mounting locations and provides a straightforward interface for users and installers. The illuminated ring helps reduce search time for the exit control in low-light environments and supports compliance with simple access management setups.

Suitable for

• Office doors with electric strikes or magnetic locks
• Commercial premises such as retail or hospitality back-of-house exits
• Security-controlled entryways and reception areas
• Corridors, stairwells and emergency egress points requiring visible release controls

When it may not be suitable

The SCOT BT-7BN is a momentary push-to-release device and is not intended for use as a latching or maintained switch. It does not provide advanced access control features like biometric authentication, time scheduling, or networked event logging on its own. For applications requiring integrated electronics, remote control, or sealed weatherproof housings, alternative devices specifically designed for those conditions should be considered.

Key specifications

• Operation type: Momentary (push-to-release)
• Illumination: Integrated illuminated ring for improved visibility
• Typical applications: Electric strikes and magnetic door locks
• Form factor: Low-profile push button suitable for wall mounting
• Contact action: Tactile mechanical push switch designed for exit control

How to use

Install the button in a standard wall box or on a flat surface near the exit point following local wiring and electrical safety regulations. Connect the switch contacts to the door release circuit of the electric strike or magnetic lock, and wire the illumination to the designated power source, observing polarity if applicable. Press the button briefly to release the lock; the switch returns to its default position automatically. Ensure wiring is tested and secured before regular use.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with the electric lock type and control voltage used in your access system
• Check whether the illumination voltage and wiring match your installation requirements
• Verify mounting depth and available space for flush or surface installation
• Assess environmental conditions; this product is intended for indoor use unless specified otherwise

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, pair the SCOT BT-7BN with a compatible power supply and door release controller. Regularly inspect the mounting and wiring for wear or damage, and test the button operation after any maintenance to ensure consistent momentary release performance.
