The DRB-IR-1224-WP Weather Resistant Infra-Red Exit Button is a touch-free door release device designed for access control and electronic locking systems. Using infra-red detection, the unit allows users to activate the door release without physically touching the button, making it suitable for busy commercial, public and exposed environments.
Manufactured from ABS plastic, the DRB-IR-1224-WP is designed for surface mounting and features a Door Release legend. It operates from 12VDC to 24VDC and is rated IP65 for weather resistance, making it suitable for installations where increased protection against dust and water ingress is required.
The unit provides COM, normally open and normally closed changeover contacts for connection to compatible access control and electric locking equipment. Its infra-red detection distance can be adjusted between approximately 5cm and 20cm , while the built-in time delay can be adjusted from 0.5 to 20 seconds . A toggle function is also available.
