SDC MD-31D Series Request-to-Exit PIR Motion Sensors
Passive Infrared Motion Sensors for Access Control and Egress
The SDC MD-31D Series Request-to-Exit (REX) PIR Motion Sensors are passive infrared motion detectors specifically designed for access-controlled door egress applications. Engineered to provide reliable motion detection and secure door release, these sensors are ideal for commercial buildings, institutional facilities, and other environments requiring code-compliant access control systems.
Featuring an internally pointable coverage field, the MD-31D provides flexible detection positioning to accommodate different mounting heights and installation requirements. Its unique wrap-around U-shaped detection pattern projects downward and away from the door, helping inhibit tampering and ensuring dependable request-to-exit activation.
The MD-31D Series incorporates a relock time delay (RTD), auto-sensing dual voltage, and a code-compliant failsafe mode for enhanced system integration and reliable operation. Designed for use with access-controlled egress doors, these PIR motion sensors comply with applicable national fire and building code requirements.
