AAS / Security Brand 14-RTEHW RTE HW Hardwired Request-to-Exit Station
The Security Brands 14-RTEHW RTE HW is a hardwired request-to-exit station built for locations where a simple physical exit command is preferred over a wireless transmitter or touchless sensor. In a typical gate application, the push button is wired to a compatible exit, open, or request-to-exit input on the gate operator or access controller. The included lockout key switch gives property managers or technicians a way to disable the station when the exit point should not be available. Because the push button is hardwired and does not require its own power, this station is often used where reliability and simple service are more important than app control or wireless convenience. It should be installed as an access command device, not as a replacement for monitored safety sensors, fire access hardware, or code-required exit hardware.

Technician Note
The 14-RTEHW is simple, but the input it connects to still matters. Use the operator or controller wiring diagram and do not land the switch across monitored safety, fire access, or high-voltage terminals.
Before Ordering
- Confirm a hardwired RTE input is available on the controller or gate operator.
- Verify the post or pedestal mounting location before ordering.
- Check whether the lockout key switch is required for the site.
- Confirm conduit and low-voltage cable routing before installation.
- Do not substitute this for a monitored safety sensor or required emergency release device.
Important Ordering Warnings
- Do not wire to high-voltage terminals.
- Do not use as a replacement for monitored safety equipment.
Professional Advisory
A qualified gate or access control technician should verify the correct low-voltage terminals before wiring an RTE station into a gate operator or door controller.
