Emergency Manual KeySwitch for UniFi Access Door Override in System Failure Scenarios
The Ubiquiti UniFi Access Rescue KeySwitch (UA-RESCUE) is an emergency manual override switch that unlocks any door controlled by a UniFi Access Hub when the system experiences a malfunction. The single pole dual throw (SPDT) keyswitch works with both Fail Safe and Fail Secure lock configurations, providing physical key-based door release independent of the electronic access control system. An essential safety component for any UniFi Access deployment where emergency egress or manual override capability is required.
Building codes and safety requirements in many jurisdictions mandate a manual override mechanism for electronically controlled doors. The UA-RESCUE fills this requirement within the UniFi Access ecosystem, giving building managers and security personnel a physical key option to unlock doors when the Access Hub, network, or power fails. The polycarbonate housing is compact enough to mount near any access-controlled door.
Where the UA-RESCUE Fits
- Emergency override for access-controlled doors where building codes or safety policies require a manual key-based method to unlock doors independently of the electronic access control system
- System failure redundancy where the keyswitch provides door unlock capability during Access Hub malfunctions, network outages, or power failures that disable normal badge or app-based entry
- Fail Safe and Fail Secure installations where the SPDT switch design accommodates both lock types, making it compatible with any electric strike or magnetic lock configuration in the UniFi Access system
What the UA-RESCUE Delivers
- Single pole dual throw (SPDT) manual keyswitch: Physical key operation overrides the electronic lock state on any door connected to a UniFi Access Hub. Works regardless of system, network, or power status.
- Fail Safe and Fail Secure compatible: The dual throw design supports both lock types. Fail Safe locks (unlock on power loss) and Fail Secure locks (lock on power loss) both respond to the keyswitch override.
- Polycarbonate construction: Durable polycarbonate housing at 2.9 inches height and 3.32 oz weight. Compact enough to mount next to any access-controlled door or in a nearby utility area.
- UniFi Access ecosystem: Purpose-built for the UniFi Access platform. Integrates with the Access Hub relay wiring for seamless manual override of electronically controlled doors.
