IRB-MON - Universal Safety Photo Beam

Product Overview

The IRB-MON is a monitored, weather-proof, thru-beam infrared photo eye solution providing entrapment protection for doors, gates and barriers. The IRB-MON Safety Photo Beam is UL325 compliant, and housed in a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure. It is designed to meet the upcoming 2016 UL325 regulation.

The universal design of the IRB-MON allows it to be used with operator types that require a frequency (heartbeat) for monitored operation or those that require relay connections. Monitored output is achieved by using the "heartbeat" output from the IRB-MON to assure that the connections to the photo eye are intact and that the photo eye is operational.
