SECO-LARM Enforcer SA-025EQL Delayed Egress Timer
The SECO-LARM SA-025EQL is a delayed egress timer module used where an exit request, lock release, warning, or related relay function needs a controlled delay instead of instant activation. It is commonly associated with access-control installations that require a nuisance delay, pre-delay warning, post-delay timing, and relock behavior. The module gives the installer more control over timing than a standard timer relay and is intended for applications where delayed output behavior is part of the system design.
Unlike a general-purpose timer, delayed egress hardware can involve building code, fire alarm interface, emergency release, signage, audible warning, and relocking requirements. In a gate application, this type of timer may be referenced for warning before a gate moves only when the gate control design supports that approach. The SA-025EQL should be selected and wired by someone who understands the complete egress or access-control system, including the lock type, power supply, alarm relay, local alarm, bypass input, and reset behavior.
Compatible With
Used with select access-control doors, delayed egress lock control circuits, electric lock systems, warning circuits, remote alarm relays, bypass/reset circuits, and certain gate operator warning applications where the controller design supports a delayed relay function. It is not a universal lock controller. Verify local code, lock type, power supply, relay load, fire alarm interface, and AHJ requirements before use.

Technician Note
This item should not be treated like a simple door timer. Delayed egress installations can be regulated by building, fire, and life-safety codes, and may require specific signage, alarms, emergency release, and AHJ approval.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm whether the site requires delayed egress hardware rather than a standard timer relay.
- Verify local code and AHJ requirements before installation.
- Match the lock relay and alarm relay ratings to the connected devices.
- Confirm nuisance delay, pre-delay, post-delay, and relock settings needed.
- Do not bypass fire alarm, emergency release, or required egress functions.
Professional Advisory
Access-control and gate wiring should be performed with the power disconnected and with the system wired according to the operator, lock, or access-control manual. Do not bypass required safety devices. For high-voltage circuits, delayed egress code requirements, or unsafe gate movement, use a qualified gate or access-control technician.
Product Questions
What is the SA-025EQL used for?
It is used for delayed egress and warning relay timing where a controlled delay is required before lock release, alarm, or related output behavior.
Is it the same as the SA-025Q?
No. The SA-025Q is a general-purpose timer, while the SA-025EQL is intended for delayed egress style timing applications.
Can this be used on a gate?
It may be used only where the gate control design supports the required delayed warning or relay sequence and all gate safety devices remain active.
Does delayed egress require code review?
Yes. Delayed egress installations can involve building and fire code requirements, so the full installation should be reviewed by a qualified professional.
What settings are commonly adjusted?
Common settings include nuisance delay, pre-delay, post-delay, and relock behavior.
