Rosslare's PX-13 combines solid-state piezoelectric switching technology with a durable metal enclosure. Actuation is detected through the solid metal surface, allowing the switch to operate without the mechanical movement associated with conventional push buttons. This design makes the PX-13 particularly suitable for high-use and exposed environments. Its fully potted construction protects the internal electronics against water, dirt and dust, while the AL6061 aluminium alloy body with Type II anodisation provides a rugged, corrosion-resistant finish. The switch produces a normally open switching pulse when actuated and uses a simple two-wire, non-polarised interface. Rosslare specifies the current PX-13 for switching voltages up to 30 V AC/DC and a maximum switching current of 1 A. The current manufacturer datasheet also specifies a button life of up to 20 million cycles. The PX-13 can be integrated with Rosslare access controllers, security systems and compatible third-party equipment. In access control installations, it can be used as a REX/request-to-exit button or system input.

SKU SKU / Product Code: PX-13 Manufacturer: Rosslare Product Family: Rugged Piezoelectric Switches Compatible Systems The PX-13 is designed for integration with Rosslare access controllers, security systems and compatible third-party equipment. The supplied documentation specifically identifies controllers including the AC-225, AC-215 and AC-115 as examples of compatible Rosslare systems. Typical integration includes: Request-to-exit (REX) input Access control system input Alarm input Event input Security system switching Compatible third-party dry-contact/input applications Always verify the electrical input requirements of the connected controller or system before installation. Practical Use Scenarios Access Control Request-to-Exit:Install the PX-13 as a durable REX button at controlled doors where frequent daily operation demands a switch without conventional moving contacts. Outdoor Entry and Exit Points:The IP68 construction makes the PX-13 suitable for appropriately designed outdoor access-control installations exposed to rain, moisture, dirt and dust. High-Traffic Commercial Buildings:Its solid-state piezoelectric operation and long rated service life make it well suited to offices, commercial premises and other frequently accessed facilities. Industrial Environments:The aluminium enclosure, wide operating-temperature range and fully potted construction provide a practical switching solution for demanding environments. Security and Alarm Inputs:The PX-13 can serve as a system input for compatible Rosslare access controllers and other suitable security equipment. Public-Facing Installations:Anti-vandal construction and the absence of moving switch components make the PX-13 suitable for exposed, frequently used installations. Warranty Information The supplied legacy documentation states a 5-year limited product warranty. However, Rosslare's current official PX-13 datasheet lists a Lifetime Warranty, and Rosslare's current warranty policy categorises the PX-13, PX-23 and PX-34 under a limited lifetime warranty. Current warranty terms and conditions should therefore be checked at the time of purchase.Warranty claims remain subject to Rosslare's applicable warranty conditions, eligibility requirements and RMA procedures.
