PANIC SWITCH
Model numbers:
3040, 3045, 3050, 3055
Model 3040 shown above;
Model 3045 shown on right.
• Easy installation
• Latching LED and non-LED
models available
• 3050 and 3055 feature
glowing LED for low light
visibility
The Sentrol 3040 Series Panic Switch activates the
SPDT switch (SPST on the 3045 model) when the user
pulls the actuating lever. On the 3040 model, an
external LED lights and latches, indicating that the
alarm circuit has been activated. The lever is closed
first to rearm the alarm switch, then the latching LED
circuit is reset externally at the host panel. The 3045
model has no LED or latching circuit.
The 3050 and 3055 feature a glowing LED for low
light visibility. The LED glows green when powered up,
turns red upon activation. The 3050 contains a latching
LED, the 3055 is non-latching.
Applications
Mounted out of sight but within easy reach for manual
activation, such as under desks or counters in banks,
jewelry stores and other facilities where people or
property are at risk. The 3045 and 3055 models can be
used in residential installations when a panic switch is
needed. Models with the LED and latching circuit, can
be used as a panic switch in medical care facilities.
All models provide low-profile and reliable alarm
protection.

Sentrol 3040 Series Panic Switch
Architect and Engineering Specifications
The unit consists of a housing that contains the electrical
circuitry and magnetic reed contacts, a cover plate to protect
the internal electronics and an actuating lever with an Alnico
V magnet installed in a cradle in the lever. When the lever is
fully closed, the magnet — in proximity to the reed —
triggers the circuit. The alarm occurs when the actuating
lever is moved 20° to 45° past the fully closed position
(approximately 1" from the fully closed position). On the
latching models, an LED on the unit flashes and latches
when the lever is opened. It can be reset only at the
alarm panel.
The actuating lever, housing and cover plate are made of
ABS fire-retardant plastic. Dimensions of the unit are 1.77"
W x 2.90" L x 0.76" H (4.50 cm W x 7.37 cm L x 1.93 cm
H). The unit has 12 feet of jacket lead. The device mounts
to the surface with two No. 6 combo-head screws,
5
/8" and
1 1/4". Available in white.
