Ubiquiti UA-Rescue UniFi Access Rescue KeySwitch
Overview
The Ubiquiti UA-Rescue, also known as the Access Rescue KeySwitch, is a manual emergency override device for UniFi Access systems. It provides a physical keyed method of unlocking a door when an Access Hub or connected lock system experiences a malfunction.
The KeySwitch is designed as a single-pole, double-throw manual switch and can be used with compatible fail-safe and fail-secure lock systems. Ubiquiti specifies that the device provides backup entry but does not provide redundant power for fail-secure systems.
Emergency Override
The UA-Rescue provides a dedicated manual unlock mechanism using a physical key. In an emergency or system malfunction scenario, the key-operated switch can provide an alternative means of controlling the connected door-lock circuit.
Connections
The unit provides COM, NO, and NC terminals supporting 18–24 AWG wiring. The internal key switch uses a brass internal wave key and is rated at 28V DC and 4A.
Installation
The UA-Rescue has a compact round form factor measuring 60 mm in diameter by 74 mm deep. Its polycarbonate enclosure is suitable for installation as part of a UniFi Access door-control system. Wiring should follow the applicable UniFi Access installation documentation and the requirements of the connected lock system.
