Cal-Royal CTB Touchless Switch, 8600 Series Wave-to-Open Sensor with Stainless Steel Plate

The Cal-Royal CTB Touchless Switch is part of the 8600 Series accessory line designed for automated entrance systems in commercial applications. This family of switches offers multiple configurations including the CTB-01 (2.75" x 4.5", 1-gang), CTB-02 (4.5" x 4.5" square), CTB-05 (1.5" x 4.5", single gang), CTB-07 (4.5" x 4.5" square), CTB-08W and CTB-09W (wireless, 4.5" x 4.5" square). Built with Stainless Steel plates and constructed for reliable operation, these switches use Active Infrared Sensing Technology or Infrared Photoelectric Reflective Sensing depending on model, with power options of 12/24V DC, 12-30V DC, or 12-30V AC/DC.

Cal-Royal CTB-01 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What voltage do I need to run a Cal-Royal CTB wave switch off my door operator?
Two power bands across the family. The CTB-01, CTB-02, CTB-05 and CTB-07 run on 12/24V DC. The wireless CTB-08W and CTB-09W accept 12-30V DC or 12-30V AC/DC, so they will take an AC supply the hardwired models will not.
2) How close does a hand have to get to a Cal-Royal CTB sensor to trigger the door?
Depends on the model and the sensing technology. The CTB-01 and CTB-02 use Active Infrared Sensing with a 1 to 5 inch range. The CTB-05 and CTB-07 use an Infrared Photoelectric Reflective sensor with a 2 to 8 inch range. The wireless CTB-08W reads 1 to 11 inches and the CTB-09W 1 to 9 inches, both adjustable. For a high traffic corridor where you want fewer accidental trips, the shorter 1 to 5 inch range is the tighter pattern.
3) Do I have to run wire to a Cal-Royal CTB touchless switch, or is there a wireless version?
The CTB-08W and CTB-09W are the wireless models, running a built-in radio transmitter on 2.4GHz. They ship per pair as 2 switches and 1 receiver, so a single order covers both sides of an opening. The CTB-01, CTB-02, CTB-05 and CTB-07 are hardwired. If you are retrofitting an existing operator in a finished building where fishing wire across the opening is the problem, the wireless pair is the way around it.
4) What is a comparable no-touch wave switch to the Cal-Royal CTB if I am standardizing on a different brand?
The Securitron WSS Wave Sense no-touch switch is the closest peer. Both are touchless wave-to-open actuators for automated commercial entrances. The Cal-Royal CTB covers a range of plate formats in one model line - CTB-01 at 2.75 in x 4.5 in for a 1-gang box, CTB-02 and CTB-07 at 4.5 in x 4.5 in square, CTB-05 at 1.5 in x 4.5 in for a jamb-size gang box - and includes wireless CTB-08W and CTB-09W models on 2.4GHz with a built-in radio transmitter, sold per pair with two switches and one receiver. If the opening needs a narrow jamb plate or a wireless push side actuator without pulling wire, the CTB line carries those configurations under one model.
5) Which Cal-Royal CTB switch lets me set how long the door stays triggered?
Adjustable timer delay is on the CTB-05 and CTB-07 only, settable from 0.5 to 20 seconds. Both also carry a Red/Green LED indicator. The CTB-01 and CTB-02 do not carry the timer function, so if hold time matters on your opening, specify an -05 or -07.
6) Are Cal-Royal CTB touchless plates stainless steel or plastic?
Stainless steel on the CTB-01, CTB-02, CTB-05, CTB-07 and CTB-08W. The CTB-09W is the one with a polycarbonate plate. In a hospital or school corridor where the plate takes cart strikes and constant cleaning, the stainless models are the ones to spec.
7) What is the difference between an active infrared wave switch and a photoelectric reflective one?
On the Cal-Royal CTB line, the active infrared models (CTB-01, CTB-02, and the wireless CTB-08W and CTB-09W) sense a hand at close range, 1 to 5 inches on the hardwired pair. The photoelectric reflective models (CTB-05, CTB-07) work off a reflected beam at 2 to 8 inches and add the adjustable timer delay plus a Red/Green LED. Pick photoelectric when you want a slightly longer reach and control over hold time; pick active infrared when you want the tightest activation zone.
8) What other brand of no-touch wave switch could I use instead of the Cal-Royal CTB?
Securitron makes the WSS Wave Sense No-Touch Switch, from its WSS Series, and it is the cross-brand alternative in the same touchless actuator category. The Cal-Royal CTB family is the broader one if you need a specific plate footprint (1.5 x 4.5, 2.75 x 4.5, or 4.5 x 4.5 inches) or a wireless pair.
9) I need a hardwired wave switch on a standard single gang box - which CTB model, and how does it differ from the Securitron WSS?
For a hardwired single gang box, use the Cal-Royal CTB-01, a 2.75 in x 4.5 in stainless steel plate running Active Infrared Sensing with a 1 in to 5 in range on 12/24V DC. The CTB-02 gives the same sensing in a 4.5 in x 4.5 in square plate. Both are wired switches, unlike the CTB-08W and CTB-09W, which are 2.4GHz wireless and ship as a pair with a receiver. The Securitron WSS Wave Sense is the alternate brand in the same no-touch switch role if your spec calls for Securitron.
10) If I need a timer delay on the actuator, is the Securitron WSS the right pick or a Cal-Royal?
Within the Cal-Royal CTB line, the CTB-05 and CTB-07 are the models that carry an adjustable timer delay, from 0.5 to 20 seconds, along with an Infrared Photoelectric Reflective sensor with a 2 in to 8 in range and a Red/Green LED indicator. The CTB-05 is a 1.5 in x 4.5 in jamb-size plate and the CTB-07 is 4.5 in x 4.5 in square. The Securitron WSS Wave Sense is the peer no-touch switch to evaluate against these if your project is spec'd to Securitron.
11) Are Cal-Royal CTB wave-to-open switches rated for commercial use or just residential?
Commercial. The 8600 Series CTB switches are built for automated entrance systems in commercial buildings, and they are used in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouses and government buildings.
