Product Description
EAX-3500 Detex EAX-3500 Timed Bypass Exit Alarm, Gray
Staff disable exit alarms for convenience — deliveries, smoke breaks, taking out trash — and forget to re-arm them. The Detex EAX-3500 solves this with timed bypass: authorized users key-bypass the alarm for a set period, and it automatically re-arms when the timer expires. Zero human error.

Pro-Installer FAQ
Q: How long can the timed bypass be set for?
A: The EAX-3500 bypass timer is adjustable from 15 seconds to 4 minutes. Set it for your typical delivery window or break duration. When the timer expires, the alarm automatically re-arms — no human action required.
Q: How often does the rechargeable battery need replacement?
A: The NiMH rechargeable battery pack in the EAX-3500 typically lasts 3-5 years. It recharges via the included charging circuit. A low-battery indicator warns you well in advance.
Q: Can unauthorized people bypass the alarm?
A: No. The timed bypass requires a physical key turn. Without the key, the alarm functions as a standard exit alarm — open the door, alarm sounds. Only staff with keys can initiate the bypass.
