Securitron
Touch Sense Bar
Installation & Operating Instructions
Description
Securitron TSB is an exit device for doors secured by magnetic
locks. The assembly consists of an aluminum bar available in
lengths to fit on standard U.S. door openings: (36", 42", and 48"),
Polycarbonate end pieces to mount the bar on the door, and
an electronic touch sensor mounted within the bar. Fasteners
for metal doors are included. For through door mounting,
please call factory for a no-charge Securitron TSB-TDM kit.
NOTE: that US type or metric fasteners are supplied depending of the version of the bar
which has been ordered. The metric version part numbers include the suffix: "M".
When the bar is touched, a relay in the sensor is tripped, releasing the lock. The
bar's sensitivity is adjustable. In the unlikely event of sensor failure, a push switch
is mounted on the back side of the bar. Depressing the switch has the same
effect as activating the sensor by touch and therefore represents built in safety
redundancy. The Securitron TSB cannot be used outside in rain conditions.
As the Securitron TSB is normally used to allow egress on an
electrically secured door, make sure that you are complying with
applicable building codes for your area. Check with your local
building department and/or fire prevention department.
Mounting Hole Marking
1
PLAN AND MARK the mounting hole positions. Be
sure that you have the correct length bar for the door.
2
REMOVE the screws that secure the end caps on both
ends of the bar. If it appears that the bar is longer than
it should be for the door, see Cutting Instructions.
3
MAKE NOTE which end has the sensor (circuit board)
in it. This is the end that should be mounted on
the hinge side for easiest wire exit from the door.
A template located at the end of this instruction
manual has been provided, although it is generally
preferable to hold the bar in position and use it as a
"self-template." The templates are particularly valuable
if door preparation is to be done in advance. In setting
your mounting holes, there are three concerns:
• They must be level or the bar will be tilted.
• They must be the correct distance apart.
• They must be correctly placed "left/right" on the door.
Leveling is best done by use of a carpenter's level.
If one is not available, measure from the mounting
hole positions on each edge of the door to the
door bottom. This is not as effective as it assumes
that the door is level which is not always true.
NOTE: In general, US building codes require the height of
the bar above the door bottom to be between 30" and 44".

If the bar is used as its own template, you
will automatically get correct separation
between the mounting holes.
NOTE: If you use the templates, there is a line drawn
on each template which must line up with the outer
edge of the plastic end pieces on the bar. After you've
mounted the templates, hold up the bar to make sure
the end piece lines up to get the correct distance.
Left/right placement on the door is an important
point. In most installations, the bar should be centered
on the door. This produces the most attractive result.
However, if the door has a vertical door stop on the
edge that swings open, you may need to shift the bar
somewhat towards the hinge side to avoid scraping
the stop when the door opens. You should always
experimentally position the bar on the door and
open the door to see that there is no interference.
Finally, if the installation is on an aluminum frame glass
door, make sure you don't position the bar so that the
mounting screws go into the glass. On standard doors,
keeping the mounting holes at least 3/4" (19 mm)
from the inner edge of the aluminum will be safe.
