DRB-IR-N Narrow Infrared Touch Free Exit Button

The DRB-IR-N 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 unit allows users to activate the door release without physically touching the button, making it suitable for busy commercial, public and professional environments.

Mounted on a brushed stainless steel plate, the DRB-IR-N 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 sensor has an adjustable detection distance of approximately 5cm to 20cm, together with an adjustable time delay from 0.5 to 20 seconds. A toggle function is also available by turning the time delay adjustment to the fully clockwise position.
