SDC AUTO-IR36Y Single Presence Sensor, 36", Dull Black

Keep pedestrians safe and liability low with the Security Door Controls AUTO-IR36Y presence sensor, a purpose-built request-to-exit device that re-activates automatic doors before contact occurs. Designed for entrances used by the elderly, disabled or groups where slow-moving traffic is common, this single presence sensor uses proven active infrared distance measurement to detect both stationary and moving objects across a 36in detection field.

The AUTO-IR36Y includes a built-in 1 Amp power supply and single-button, self-tuning setup to reduce installation time and service calls. Because the sensor only becomes active after a knowing activation, it prevents unwanted door behavior and enables shorter hold-open cycles when mounted on the application side — improving throughput without compromising safety. Exceeding ANSI 156.19 standards, the unit supports access control schemes with onboard lock sequencing and integrates cleanly into security, surveillance, and monitoring systems.

Ideal for healthcare, commercial, and public facilities, the SDC AUTO-IR36Y is a practical upgrade for any automatic door project that prioritizes safety and code compliance. Contact your access control supplier to specify or install this presence sensor today.
