Modernizing Exit Control with Contactless Technology

In today's commercial and institutional environments, access control is no longer defined solely by who can enter a facility—it is equally important to ensure occupants can exit safely, conveniently, and reliably.

Traditional push-to-exit buttons have long been a standard component of access control systems. However, building owners, facility managers, and security integrators are increasingly seeking solutions that offer enhanced user convenience, simplified maintenance, and a more modern operational experience.

The ACX Infrared Door Release Series addresses these evolving requirements through touchless infrared sensing technology. Users can activate the door release with a simple hand gesture, eliminating the need for physical contact while providing a seamless exit experience.

Designed for reliable day-to-day operation, the series incorporates encrypted infrared technology to prevent interference from remote-control devices and is engineered to perform consistently in environments exposed to sunlight and other infrared sources. In addition, the solution combines both door release and resettable emergency release functions in a single device, helping to simplify installation while reducing hardware requirements.

Available in multiple form factors to suit different project needs, the ACX Infrared Door Release Series is ideal for commercial offices, educational facilities, healthcare institutions, residential developments, and other environments where secure and efficient access control is essential.

As organizations continue to explore contactless access solutions, different door release technologies may be deployed depending on the specific application. In addition to the ACX Infrared Door Release Series, the ACX Intelligent Door Release Series offers another touchless exit control option, giving system designers greater flexibility when selecting solutions for different access control environments.
