An emergency exit is an access designed to allow the rapid, safe and controlled evacuation of people in case of hazardous situations, such as fires, earthquakes or other emergencies, without interrupting or hindering the passage of roads designed for that purpose.
This type of exits are essential in buildings, offices, shopping centers or other spaces with a large capacity.
The main characteristics that an emergency exit should have are:
Electrically controlled emergency exit systems are very useful solutions in cases where:
These systems combine locking and unlocking technology to allow fast and efficient opening when necessary. Their operation is based on electrical mechanisms that keep doors closed under normal conditions, but which, in the event of an emergency or power failure, ensure immediate release of access. In addition, they can be integrated with alarms, fire detection systems and access controls for efficient building security management.
Its regulation is covered by standards such as UNE-EN 13637:2016, which defines the requirements for performance, reliability and compatibility with other security systems.
The following elements are required to establish a correct electrically controlled exit system and to ensure a smooth passage in evacuation routes:
Locking elements: The electric locking element keeps the door in a secure state. For example, an electromagnetic lock, an electric strike panic lock, or a motorized lock, are elements that remain unlocked without electric current.
Example of an Openers & Closers M Series Electromagnetic Lock.
Control elements: Electronic devices or systems responsible for coordinating and managing the opening of emergency exits during an evacuation. These elements act as the "brain" of the system, connecting the exit doors with the alarm systems and other security devices.
Signaling elements: Electronically controlled pushbuttons are unlocking elements that together with the control unit make it possible to guarantee correct evacuation in case of emergency. They incorporate acoustic and visual signaling elements at a distance of no more than 1 meter.
It is imperative that the manufacturer provides the tests and certificates as a whole, to ensure compliance with accessibility and evacuation.
The TE Series Series of Openers & Closers is an emergency door control terminal combined with an emergency button in one device.
TE Series: Combination of emergency terminal and emergency button.
Authorized emergency exit locking system
This device prevents unauthorized exits to the evacuation area, and in emergency situations, it enables instant unlocking at the push of a button.
Signaling of evacuation routes
Our Emergency Terminal incorporates visual and/or acoustic signaling elements at a distance of no more than 1 meter, ensuring immediate and effective communication in critical moments.
Visual and/or acoustic signaling to ensure immediate and effective communication in emergency situations.
Exceptional resistance
The unique steel housing of our emergency terminals offers maximum strength and elegant design.
Bus Coupler
To manage the building efficiently and ensure secure control, it is essential to connect all systems via the building bus. This enables intelligent monitoring and facilitates the work of security personnel.
Modular structure
Thanks to its modular design, our TE Series Emergency Terminal is adaptable to every emergency exit. In addition, in case of failure, it allows easy identification of faulty components, ensuring minimal downtime and fast system restoration.
Modular structure that adapts to each emergency exit. Flush mount or Surface mount option.
Simple installation
The TE terminal is easy to install and includes a tamper protection system. It can be configured locally via a USB interface or centrally via a bus cable.
To complement the evacuation system, we provide all essential components to ensure proper installation and optimize the evacuation system of an emergency exit door.
Management software: We offer an online visualization and configuration software, which facilitates the management of the different areas of the building. Its intuitive design and easy configuration make it one of the most accessible and user-friendly solutions.
Mechanical locking systems: Electric locking mechanisms hold the door in a secure position. They may include electromagnetic locks, electric strikes for panic doors or motorized locks. To ensure their effectiveness and reliability, it is essential that these devices meet Positive Security standards.
The TE Series of Emergency Terminals from Openers & Closers is a reliable and efficient solution for escape route management. Thanks to its advanced technology and intuitive design, it ensures optimal control and safe evacuation in any emergency situation.
