IRB 325
PHOTO BEAMS W/ STEEL ENCLOSURES, UL 325 APPROVED
APPLICATIONS
• Complies with the UL 325 standard when used with steel hoods.
• The IRB-325 photocell is used as an external entrapment protection device type B1 non-contact sensor for use with automatic gate operators.
• Powder coated steel hoods help protect from damage.
• The IRB-325 transmitter and receiver are mounted in line of site at a distance of up to 65 feet.
• When the infrared beam is broken the IRB-325 produces a detection signal.

7. Connect power to terminals 4 and 5 marked position. “power input” on the IRB-325 receiver, marked “RX” polarity is not important.
8. For operators that require normally closed contact for entrapment protection, connect terminals 1 and 2 to the designated terminals in the gate operator.
9. For operators that require normally open contact for entrapment protection, connect terminals 2 and 3 to the designated terminals in the gate operator.
10. Install the IRB-325 according to instructions from the gate operator manufacturer. The
intent of External Entrapment Protection Device Type B1 non-contact sensor is to protect a person from being accidentally injured by the moving gate.
11. The IRB-325 is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure. To insure the integrity of the enclosure make sure the covers are attached and closed tight with the help of four plastic pearl coat paints.
