Applications
The IRB-RET provides a universal solution for entrapment protection. One photoeye covers the entire spectrum of possible requirements for monitored and non-monitored photoeyes, simplifying inventory management and product training.
The IRB-RET is an external entrapment protection device type B1, non-contact sensor for use with automatic gates and doors. The device is a UL325-2016 recognized component suitable for use with both operators that require monitored entrapment protection and those that do not require monitored operation.
There are five monitoring interfaces:
1. Normally closed: Cycle power to the transmitter while monitoring the receiver contacts for proper operation.
2. Two-wire pulsed (2 freq): Provides 300Hz “heartbeat” unobstructed, 0Hz obstructed over power supply lines.
3. Three-wire pulsed (3 freq): Provides 300Hz “heartbeat” unobstructed, 2Hz obstructed and 0Hz failure over power supply lines.
4. Four-wire pulsed: Provides 300Hz “heartbeat” unobstructed, 0Hz obstructed over separate connection
5. Resistive termination: Provides a 10k Ohm resistance when unobstructed.
The long range and thru-beam features combined with the installer mode switch settings provide a flexible solution to all external entrapment protection needs. A robust, NEMA 4X enclosure provides the durability required for high-reliability entrapment protection applications. Lens-less design minimizes fogging and false triggering caused by small objects and provides for easy alignment.

Competitive Advantage
The major advantage of the IRB-MON is its flexibility; this photo eye covers the whole spectrum of UL situations.
• Non-monitored UL325 2016 compliance for the gate operators.
• Monitored application per UL325-2010 as applied to overhead doors operators.
• Non-UL installation.
Only one photo eye is needed to cover all these applications.
Accessories
EMX IRB-RET
UNIVERSAL RETROREFLECTIVE PHOTOEYE
UL 325 2016 NEMA 4X
The IRB-RET is a monitored, weather-proof retroreflective photoeye solution providing entrapment protection for automatic gates and doors. Retroreflective configuration eliminates the need for a separate transmitter and the associated wiring across a roadway to reduce installation costs. The IRB-RET is UL 325-2016 compliant and housed in a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The universal design of the IRB-RET allows it to be used with a wide variety of monitored operators. Additionally, it is compatible with most non-monitored legacy products.
Benefits include:
Selectable monitoring interface for easy set-up and installation
Compatible with many operators
Long operating range
Robust design minimizes fogging and false triggering to provide easy alignment
