Instruction Manual
The IRB-RET2 retroreflective, infrared photoeye is an external entrapment protection device type B1, non-
contact sensor for use with automatic gates and doors. The reflector directs the beam back to the
photoeye, therefore wiring to the other side of the roadway is not needed. The IRB-RET2 is compatible
with most operators that accommodate monitored external entrapment devices per UL325. (six
monitoring methods are available) The IRB-RET2 operates up to 60 feet over a wide range of voltages (6-
40 VDC and 12-24 VAC). A red alignment indicator on the receiver provides easy set-up and alignment.
