DRB-IR-RJ Infrared Touch Free Door Release Button

The DRB-IR-RJ Series Reflective Jacket Proof Infra-Red Exit Buttons are touch-free door release devices designed for access control and electronic locking systems. Using infra-red detection, the buttons allow users to release an access controlled door without physically touching the unit, making them suitable for busy commercial, public and professional environments.

The DRB-IR-RJ Series has been specifically designed to reduce unwanted activation caused by reflective clothing such as high-visibility jackets. The detection range can be adjusted from approximately 0.5cm to 1cm at the shortest setting and up to approximately 30cm at the longest setting, allowing the sensor to be configured to suit the installation.

Manufactured from brushed stainless steel, the range operates from 12VDC to 24VDC and provides changeover contacts for connection to compatible access control and electric locking equipment. Both flush and surface mounted versions are available.

DRB-IR-RJ / DRB-IR-RJ-S Product Datasheet

The DRB-IR-RJ Series provides a practical touch-free alternative to conventional press-to-exit buttons, with the additional benefit of a reflective jacket proof sensor design.

This makes the range particularly useful in warehouses, industrial environments and other locations where high-visibility clothing may otherwise cause unwanted activation of a conventional infra-red exit sensor.

With adjustable sensing distance, adjustable timing and a choice of flush or surface mounting, the DRB-IR-RJ Series can be configured for a wide range of access control and door release applications.

Please check the required mounting method, sensing distance, timer setting and system voltage before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DRB-IR-RJ Series used for?

The DRB-IR-RJ Series is designed to provide touch-free request-to-exit operation for access controlled doors.

What does reflective jacket proof mean?

The sensor is designed to help reduce unwanted activation caused by reflective clothing such as high-visibility jackets, making it particularly suitable for industrial, warehouse and commercial environments.

What is the difference between the DRB-IR-RJ and DRB-IR-RJ-S?

The DRB-IR-RJ is designed for flush mounting, while the DRB-IR-RJ-S is the surface mounted version.

What is the detection range?

The detection range is adjustable. At its shortest setting it can be reduced to approximately 0.5cm to 1cm, while the maximum sensing distance can be adjusted up to approximately 30cm.

Does the DRB-IR-RJ Series have an adjustable timer?

Yes. Both versions feature an adjustable timer.

What voltage does the DRB-IR-RJ Series operate from?

The DRB-IR-RJ and DRB-IR-RJ-S operate from 12VDC to 24VDC.

What switching contacts are provided?

The units provide changeover contacts for connection to compatible access control and electronic locking equipment.

What material are the exit buttons made from?

Both models are manufactured from brushed stainless steel.

What are the dimensions?

The faceplate dimensions are 85mm x 85mm x 30mm (H x W x D).

Can the DRB-IR-RJ Series be used with magnetic locks?

Yes. The changeover contacts can be incorporated into a compatible magnetic lock and access control circuit to provide touch-free request-to-exit operation.

Which version should I choose?

Choose the DRB-IR-RJ where a flush mounted installation is required, or the DRB-IR-RJ-S where a surface mounted installation is more suitable.
