PBA-860S / PBA-860G Micro Switched Push Bar

The PBA-860S and PBA-860G Micro Switched Push Bars are mechanical exit devices designed to provide safe and reliable egress from emergency exit doors and other large access-controlled doors. Suitable for commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, residential, and public sector environments, they provide a simple method of releasing electronic locking systems through an integrated microswitch.

Designed for use with access control systems, the push bar activates an internal microswitch when pressure is applied, sending a signal to release a magnetic lock (maglock), electric lock, automatic door, or other connected access control equipment. This provides fast, intuitive operation while maintaining secure access control during normal use.

Manufactured from durable aluminium and designed for surface mounting, the PBA-860 series incorporates a 2-pole microswitch with COM, NO, and NC contacts for flexible integration into a wide range of electronic security systems. The push bar is available in silver (PBA-860S) or green (PBA-860G) finishes, allowing installers to select the most suitable option for their application.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a micro switched push bar?

A micro switched push bar is a mechanical exit device that activates an internal microswitch when pressed, sending a signal to release an electronic locking system.

What can the PBA-860 series control?

The push bar can be used to control magnetic locks, electric locks, automatic doors, and other access control equipment via its microswitch output.

What contacts are provided?

The integrated microswitch provides COM, NO, and NC contacts for flexible wiring.

Is the push bar surface mounted?

Yes. The PBA-860 series is designed for surface mounting.

What is the construction material?

The push bar is manufactured from durable aluminium for long service life.

What is the difference between the PBA-860S and PBA-860G?

Both models offer the same functionality and specifications. The PBA-860S is supplied in a silver finish, while the PBA-860G is supplied in a green finish, allowing you to choose the appearance that best suits your installation.

Can the PBA-860 series be cut down to a shorter length?

Yes. The PBA-860 can be cut down from 860mm to approximately 650mm before causing issues with the internal components. This can be done during installation of the unit.

Does the PBA-860 directly unlock the door?

No. The PBA-860 activates an internal microswitch when pressed. This switch is used to signal a connected access control system, relay, power supply, magnetic lock, electric lock, or automatic door controller to release the door.

What is the difference between a micro switched push bar and a mechanical panic bar?

A micro switched push bar provides an electrical switching output for releasing electronic locking systems. A mechanical panic bar usually operates a mechanical latch directly. The correct product depends on the door hardware and escape route requirements.

Can the PBA-860 series be used with access control systems?

Yes. The PBA-860 Series is designed for integration with access control systems, door entry systems, magnetic locks, electric locks, automatic doors, and other compatible electronic security equipment.
