Dortronics Request-to-Exit PIR Motion Detector (12/24VDC) with Adjustable (1-120 Second) Time Delay, Slim Line 7.1in x 1.65" x 1.65"

The 6612 series of passive infrared motion detectors, provide immediate hands free door release. These exit control actuators can allow safe, unobstructed egress for convenience. Other R-E-X devices such as push button switch controls and panic exit bars may be used with the 6612 P.I.R. exit releases. These exit controls are ideal for use in hospitals, industrial complexes, and office buildings. 

Features:

  • Redundant Fail-Safe Relays: Dual relay outputs are available to redundantly cut power to the electro-magnetic lock while simultaneously signaling an access control system to unlock the door. The relay outputs will open upon sensing motion or in the event of loss of power to the detector, providing failsafe operation.
  • Adjustable Timed Output: The timed relay output is field adjustable to meet the requirements of each application. The relay time period can be selected by DIP switch from seven predefined increments ranging from 1 to 64 seconds.
  • Fast Accurate Detection: An eight detent shutter adjustment allows positive masking of the target area. The digital signal processing provides accurate detection of exit targets. Field adjustable, range and sensitivity controls, assure maximum reliability and immunity to false actuations.
  • Status Indicators: All 6612 series P.I.R exit releases are equipped with a LED detection indicator for testing the coverage pattern. The LED is also illuminated upon activation of the sensor during normal operation to verify exit target detection.
  • Attractive Unobtrusive Housing: The slim design allows mounting of the unit inconspicuously above the door. The narrow height will allow the device to be secured to the door frame or even an electro-magnetic lock cover.
  • Immediate hands free door release
  • Reliable fail-safe operation
  • Attractive slim housing cover
  • Adjustable long and short range

Dortronics DRT-6612 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Dortronics 6612 PIR release my maglock on its own, or do I still need an access control relay?
The 6612 handles the power cut itself. It has dual redundant fail-safe relay outputs: one set can break power to the electromagnetic lock directly while the other signals your access control panel to unlock. The relay outputs open on motion and also on loss of power to the detector, so the door releases either way. Relay rating is 30VDC at 1 Amp max on a DPDT contact, so if your maglock draws more than that, switch it through a contactor rather than the sensor contacts.
2) How long does the door stay unlocked after the 6612 detects someone, and can I change it?
The timed relay output is field adjustable by DIP switch, with seven predefined increments from 1 to 64 seconds. No programming tool and no wiring change, you set the switches at install and re-test with the LED indicator. For a slow-moving population, a hospital corridor or a memory care unit, pick from the upper increments; for a busy office egress door the short settings keep the door from sitting unlocked behind the person who left.
3) Is there room to mount a request-to-exit PIR above the door when a maglock cover is already there?
The 6612 measures 7 inches W x 2 inches H x 2 inches D, and the narrow height is what makes it work in that spot. It can be secured to the door frame or mounted right on the electromagnetic lock cover itself, which is the usual answer when the header is fully occupied by the lock and armature.
4) How do I stop a ceiling-mounted exit sensor from tripping on people walking past the door?
The 6612 has an eight detent shutter adjustment that masks off the parts of the pattern you do not want covered, plus separate field-adjustable range and sensitivity controls. Set the shutter to cut the cross-traffic lane, then walk-test with the onboard LED, which lights on every detection, to confirm where the coverage actually starts and stops. Detection is digitally processed rather than analog, which is what holds down false actuations on a busy corridor.
5) Should I use a motion sensor or a touch plate for request-to-exit?
A PIR like the Dortronics 6612 releases the door with no contact at all, on approach, which is what you want on infection-control doors, doors with cart or gurney traffic, and anywhere hands are occupied. The trade-off is that it fires on anyone who approaches, so you tune the pattern with the shutter and range controls to keep passers-by out of it. A touch device only fires on deliberate intent: the SDC 460 Series is a capacitive touch sensor in vandal resistant stainless steel, which suits abuse-prone public corridors. SDC's 470 Series touchless IR sensor sits between the two, no contact but a short deliberate reach rather than a walk-up pattern.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Dortronics 6612 request-to-exit motion detector from another manufacturer?
The SDC MD-31D series is the nearest direct equivalent. It is also a request-to-exit PIR motion sensor, so it does the same job over the door: it senses an approaching person and releases the lock hands free. The MD-31D is specified with dual voltage auto-sensing, and the Dortronics 6612 accepts 12 to 28VDC input, so both suit a door powered from either a 12V or a 24V supply without ordering a voltage-specific part. If the existing above-door sensor is a PIR and the replacement needs to behave identically, the MD-31D is the substitution to spec.
7) What should I use instead of a motion sensor if I want the person leaving to actually touch something to exit?
Use a touch or touchless switch instead of a PIR. The Dortronics 6612 is a passive infrared detector that releases the door automatically on motion, with no deliberate action from the person leaving. The SDC 460 series is a capacitive touch sensor with vandal resistant stainless steel construction, which requires a finger on the plate before the door releases and holds up in corridors where the device gets abused. The SDC 470 series is a touchless IR sensor, which takes a hand wave at a fixed point rather than sensing anyone who walks near the opening. Where an automatic release over the door is causing nuisance unlocks from passing traffic, either of those moves the trigger to an intentional act.
8) Is the LCN 8310 sensor a substitute for a Dortronics 6612 REX detector?
No, and they are commonly confused because both mount at the door and both sense people. The LCN 8310-804-1 is a door mount safety sensor using leading edge detection technology, which belongs on an automatic operator to stop the door from striking someone as it swings. The Dortronics 6612 is a request-to-exit release that unlocks the door for egress. A door with a power operator can need both devices, doing different jobs; neither one covers for the other, so do not drop an 8310 in where a 6612 was wired to the lock power.
9) What voltage does the Dortronics 6612 request-to-exit sensor run on?
12 to 28VDC covers it, and the detector will also run on 12.5VAC. Current draw is under 50 mA, so it can usually share the same regulated supply feeding the maglock without a separate transformer. That range means a nominal 12V or 24V access control power supply both work with no jumper change.
10) Can I keep my existing exit push button and panic bar if I add a PIR release?
Yes. Other request-to-exit devices, push button switch controls and panic exit bars among them, can be used alongside the 6612 PIR release. You are not replacing the button, you are adding a hands-free path so the door releases before anyone reaches for anything. Common on patient-transport and cart-traffic doors where hands are full.
11) Can a request-to-exit PIR be installed on an exterior or unheated door, like a parking garage or loading dock?
Rated 32 to 122F (0 to 50C) and under 95 percent relative humidity non-condensing, so it is an indoor-temperature device. A conditioned vestibule, a garage that stays above freezing, or an interior loading dock lobby is fine. A door that sees sub-freezing air on the inside face, or condensation, is outside what the 6612 is rated for, and you want a sensor built for outdoor service instead.
12) I need a request-to-exit device that mounts on the wall next to the door rather than above it. What are my options?
The Dortronics 6612 is built for the header: it is 7 inches wide by 2 inches high by 2 inches deep, a slim horizontal housing designed to sit above the door on the frame or on a magnetic lock cover. Where there is no usable header or the sensor has to sit at hand height on the wall, the SDC 460 series capacitive touch sensor or the SDC 470 series touchless IR sensor are the alternatives, both operated at the point of the device rather than by sensing the approach path. In a facility standardizing on one release method across many openings, that choice is usually made once and applied to every door.
13) For a touchless exit release in a hospital or clinic, is a PIR motion detector or an infrared hand sensor the better fit?
Both avoid contact, but they trigger differently. The Dortronics 6612 PIR detector releases on sensed motion in its coverage pattern, which is what you want at a corridor door that people walk straight through carrying carts or equipment. The SDC 470 series is a touchless IR sensor operated with a deliberate hand gesture at the device, which suits a door that should only release when someone means to leave, such as a controlled ward or storage room off a busy hallway. Both the 6612 and the 470 series run on dual voltage 12/24VDC-class power, so the branch circuit and power supply decisions do not change between them.
14) Which exit release holds up best on a high-abuse door like a school or public building corridor?
Consider where the device sits and what it is made of. The Dortronics 6612 mounts above the door in a slim housing on the frame or on the magnetic lock cover, which puts it out of reach of casual contact. The SDC 460 series takes the opposite approach, sitting within reach but built with vandal resistant stainless steel construction to survive it. For a corridor where anything at hand height gets hit, the choice is between mounting out of reach with the 6612 or mounting in reach with hardware rated for it.
15) Do I have to pick a model or option when ordering the Dortronics 6612?
One configuration, ordered as model 6612. Nothing to specify on the order form, no handing, no finish choice, no voltage variant. Everything that changes between openings, timing, range, sensitivity, and the masked area, is set with the DIP switches and the shutter after it is mounted.
