DRB-IR Infrared Touchless Door Release Button (RTE)
The DRB-IR Infrared Touchless Door Release Button is a hygienic request-to-exit (RTE) solution designed for use with access control systems, door entry systems, intercoms, and electronic locking applications. Suitable for commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, residential, and public sector environments, it provides a convenient and contact-free method of releasing secured doors from the secure side of an access-controlled door.
Using infrared sensing technology, the DRB-IR allows users to activate the door release function with a simple hand movement in front of the sensor, eliminating the need for physical contact. This touchless operation makes it particularly suitable for healthcare environments, food preparation areas, clean rooms, and high-traffic locations where hygiene is a priority.
Manufactured from brushed stainless steel, the DRB-IR combines durability with a professional appearance. The integrated LED indicator provides clear visual feedback, displaying red during standby operation and green when activated. Adjustable sensing range and timer settings allow the unit to be configured to suit a wide variety of installation requirements.
