DRB-IR-1224-SBB-BLK Surface Mount Infrared Touch Free Exit Button with Black Housing

The DRB-IR-1224-SBB-BLK Surface Mount 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 particularly suitable for busy commercial and public environments.

The DRB-IR-1224-SBB-BLK combines a brushed stainless steel faceplate with a black ABS plastic surface-mount housing, providing a practical installation option where flush mounting is not suitable. It operates from 12VDC to 24VDC and provides COM, normally open and normally closed changeover contacts for connection to compatible access control and electric locking equipment.

The 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 by turning the time delay control to the fully clockwise position.
