DRB-IR-1224 Flush Infrared Touch Free Exit Button

The DRB-IR-1224 Flush Infra-Red Exit Button is a touch-free door release device designed for access control and electronic locking systems. Using infra-red detection, the button allows users to activate the door release without physically touching the unit, making it particularly suitable for busy commercial and public environments.

Mounted on a brushed stainless steel plate, the DRB-IR-1224 is designed for flush installation and operates from 12VDC to 24VDC. It provides a volt-free changeover contact with COM, normally open and normally closed connections, allowing it to interface with a wide range of access control systems, magnetic locks, electric releases and door control equipment.

The detection distance can be adjusted between approximately 5cm and 20cm, while the built-in adjustable time delay can be set from 0.5 to 20 seconds. A toggle function is also available by adjusting the time delay control to its fully clockwise position.
