LUCKING DOOR Contactless Infrared Sensor Exit Switch

Wave your hand and walk through — no touching required. The LUCKING DOOR Contactless Infrared (IR) Sensor Door Release Switch lets you trigger any electric door lock or access control system with a simple gesture, keeping high-traffic entry points hygienic and hands-free. Ideal for offices, hospitals, care facilities, warehouses, smart homes, and anywhere a touchless entry solution makes life easier.

Key Features

• Touchless Operation: Infrared proximity detection triggers the relay the moment a hand enters the sensing zone — no physical contact needed.
• Adjustable Sensing Distance: Detection range tunable from 5 cm to 25 cm to suit your door frame or installation depth.
• Flexible Time Delay: Output hold time adjustable from 0.1 to 30 seconds so the door stays unlatched exactly as long as you need.
• Dual-Voltage Input: Works with both DC 12 V and DC 24 V power supplies — compatible with virtually all standard access control panels.
• NO / NC / COM Output: Dry-contact relay output (3 A, AC 120 V / DC 30 V) supports normally-open and normally-closed wiring configurations.
• LED Status Indication: Blue LED glows on standby; switches to Green when a hand is detected — instant visual confirmation at a glance.
• Surface / Wall-Mount Installation: Compact plastic housing mounts flush to any wall surface for a clean, professional finish.
• Wide Operating Temperature: Functions reliably from 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F).
• Optional IP68 Waterproofing: Need outdoor or wet-area installation? Contact customer service for the IP68-rated waterproof version.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What power supply do I need for this contactless IR sensor switch?

A: The switch accepts DC 12 V or DC 24 V input, making it compatible with the majority of standard access control power supplies already installed in most buildings. Simply match your existing panel voltage and wire accordingly.

Q: Can I adjust how long the door stays unlocked after a hand wave?

A: Yes. The built-in time-delay potentiometer lets you set the output hold time anywhere from 0.1 to 30 seconds, giving you precise control over how long the door latch releases before re-engaging.

Q: Is this switch compatible with both normally-open and normally-closed door lock systems?

A: Absolutely. The dry-contact relay output provides NO (Normally Open), NC (Normally Closed), and COM terminals, so it works with virtually any electric lock type — electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, or electrified deadbolts.

Q: Can this switch be used outdoors or in wet environments?

A: The standard version is designed for indoor use. However, an optional IP68-rated waterproof version is available for outdoor or high-moisture installations — please contact customer service to request that variant.

Q: How sensitive is the infrared sensor and can I adjust the detection range?

A: The sensing distance is adjustable between 5 cm and 25 cm via an onboard control, allowing you to fine-tune the trigger zone so it activates intentionally without false trips from nearby foot traffic or objects.
