The EAX2500F is a flush-mount door alarm designed for emergency exits and restricted access doors where unauthorized egress must be monitored. This Detex alarm installs in a standard 4x4 outlet box and sounds at 100dB when someone attempts an unauthorized exit. Facility managers use these alarms on secondary exits where an opening has to stay available for exit but should not be used casually.
The unit operates on hardwired AC/DC power with optional 9VDC backup battery. Field-selectable features let you configure status indicators and auto-rearm options without rewiring. The tamper-resistant housing protects electronics while the patented cam assembly automatically adjusts for different cylinder sizes without spacers. Gray finish blends with existing hardware while clear graphics make key operation straightforward.

The EAX-2500F is a door alarm, not exit hardware. It signals that a door was opened and does not latch, lock or release the opening, so it is specified alongside the exit device rather than in place of one. The silent arming feature allows discreet operation during normal business hours. Background on the rules that govern the opening itself is in our guide to IBC Chapter 10 means of egress.
