Product Features
Technical Overview
The SLP-3M incorporates four Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) illuminated push buttons that support both latching and momentary operation modes. Each button features integrated hi-brightness LEDs that provide clear visual status feedback, with all switches and LEDs terminated using color-coded leads for straightforward wiring identification and connection.
This monitor/control station is engineered specifically for electric lock applications, providing the necessary interface between access control systems and locking mechanisms. The wall-mountable design includes appropriate mounting hardware and a compact footprint that integrates cleanly into security control panels or dedicated access points.

Key Product Advantages
The SLP-3M delivers several practical benefits for security system integrators and facility managers. Its dedicated design for electric lock control eliminates the need for custom interface solutions, while the color-coded wiring reduces installation time and minimizes connection errors during setup and maintenance.
Simplified Installation
Color-coded leads on all switches and LEDs enable quick identification and proper connection, reducing setup complexity and potential wiring mistakes.
- Pre-terminated colored leads
- Clear polarity identification
- Standardized wiring scheme
Dual Operation Flexibility
Each push button supports both latching (maintained) and momentary operation modes, providing configuration flexibility for different lock control scenarios.
- Latching mode for sustained states
- Momentary mode for temporary actions
- Field-selectable operation
Enhanced Visibility
Hi-brightness built-in LEDs offer clear status indication even in well-lit environments, ensuring operators can quickly assess lock states at a glance.
- High-intensity LED illumination
- Multiple color options
- Consistent brightness levels
Deployment / Use Cases
The SLP-3M is ideally suited for commercial buildings, educational facilities, healthcare institutions, and government offices where controlled access to specific areas is required. Its four-button configuration makes it particularly effective for managing multiple locking points from a centralized control location, such as security desks, reception areas, or control rooms.
Common applications include main entrance control systems, server room access management, restricted area monitoring, and multi-door security installations. The station integrates seamlessly with existing access control panels and can be deployed as part of new security system installations or as an upgrade to enhance monitoring capabilities in legacy systems.
Commercial Access Control

FAQ
How many electric locks can the SLP-3M control and monitor?
The Alarm Controls SLP-3M is designed to release, secure, and monitor four electric locks simultaneously. Its four DPDT push buttons provide individual control for each lock, allowing operators to manage multiple access points from a single station. This configuration makes it suitable for installations requiring centralized control of several locking mechanisms.
What is the difference between latching and momentary operation modes?
The SLP-3M supports both latching (maintained) and momentary operation modes for its push buttons. In latching mode, the button maintains its state until pressed again, ideal for sustained lock conditions. Momentary mode provides temporary activation only while the button is pressed, suitable for brief access grants. This dual-mode flexibility allows configuration for different security scenarios and lock types.
How does the color-coded wiring benefit installation?
All switches and LEDs on the SLP-3M are terminated with colored leads that simplify wiring identification and connection. This color-coding reduces installation time by providing clear visual guidance for proper connections, minimizes wiring errors during setup, and facilitates easier troubleshooting and maintenance. The standardized color scheme follows common electrical conventions for consistent implementation.
What type of mounting does this control station support?
The SLP-3M features a wall-mountable form factor designed for installation in security control panels, enclosures, or directly on walls. Its compact design includes appropriate mounting provisions for secure attachment, making it suitable for integration into existing security system infrastructure or new installations where space optimization is important.
What visual indicators does the SLP-3M provide?
Each of the four push buttons includes hi-brightness built-in LEDs that provide clear status indication. These LEDs offer visual feedback on lock states and button activation, with sufficient brightness for visibility in various lighting conditions. The station itself features a green and red color scheme that provides additional visual distinction in control panel environments.
What types of facilities typically use this control station?
The SLP-3M is commonly deployed in commercial buildings, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, government offices, and corporate campuses where controlled access to specific areas is required. Its four-button configuration makes it particularly effective for security desks, reception areas, control rooms, and other centralized locations managing multiple locking points in institutional and commercial security installations.
