SECURITRON MODEL XMS EXIT MOTION SENSOR
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. DESCRIPTION
The XMS is a passive infrared motion detector specifically designed to release a magnetic lock
from the inside for free egress. Unlike burglar alarm type detectors, the XMSìhas special
features appropriate to this use. The lock control function is fail safe so that the magnetic
lock will safely release if power is cut to the detector. A relay is also present to send a REX
(request to exit) signal to an access control system (if one is present) and therefore shunt an
alarm report. A time extension feature avoids the problem of the unit resetting if a person
momentarily stops moving just before exit. Tight control of the exit detection pattern allows
maximum security from the outside and avoidance of inadvertent activation from the inside.
Since egress from a magnetically locked door can be a safety issue, make sure you are
complying with local building codes. Contact your building and/or fire prevention
department.
2. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
2.1 PLACEMENT OF THE UNIT
The XMS is intended for indoor use only. It is positioned with respect to the inside of the door
so that its detection pattern will “see” a person approaching the door while maintaining good
security from the outside. There are different options as to where the unit is placed depending
on variables in the application.

The simplest method of placing the unit is for traffic control applications. A traffic control
application is one where you do not expect any attempt at breaking in from the outside. The
