CM-RQE70A PIR ‘REQUEST TO EXIT’ DETECTOR

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Tamper Switch

Dry contact outputs N/C are provided for interface to an alarm or 
access control systems. The Tamper Switch is connected to a spring that 
compresses and closes the switch when the housing cover is installed. 
Removing the cover will open the switch contacts providing a change in 
state to the monitoring system.

Indicator Lights: LED’s

A Red & Green LED indicates secure vs unsecured status of the REX. The 
red LED is normally lit to indicate the door is secure. When a person 
walks within the detectable range of the sensor, the green LED will light 
and the red will be off.

Access Control Input

Input: Dry N/O

 A dry contact closure on this input allows a card 

reader or keypad on the secure side of the door to activate the REX 
sensor allowing access through the secured door.

Sounder Control

Input: Dry N/O A dry contact closure from an external device will hold 
this sounder on until it is released. The sounder will not affect the 
operation of the relays or relay timers. 

Sequential Logic Input

Input: Dry

 This mode allows a secondary detection device to be 

connected to the REX sensor. The REX sensor is active only while this 
input is opened or for 10 seconds after it has closed. For example, when 
the secondary activation device is activated, the REX sensor functions 
normally. When a person is in the field of view, the sensor is activated 
and the door is released. If the secondary activation device is de-
activated, the REX Sensor will continue to be activated if a person is in 
the field of view for an additional 10 seconds. 

Door Monitor Contacts

Input: Dry

Operating Functions
Function 1: Latched

When the REX sensor is activated, the relay will remain active as long as the 
sensor is activated. Once the sensor is deactivated, the relay will remain on for 
the duration of the Relay On Time. If the door is opened, the Relay On Time is 
reduced to 2 seconds.

Function 2: Door Prop Open Alarm

The door contact input is used to monitor the status of the door. If the 
door is held open during the last 10 seconds of the timer relay set time, 
the sounder will annunciate until the door is closed again. If the door 
is opened without the REX being activated the sounder will annunciate 
until the door is closed or someone has moved into the REX Sensor’s 
field of view.

Function 3: Unauthorized Access Mode

In this mode, when the REX sensor is activated but the door is not 
opened, the relay returns to a secured state in 10 seconds. If the REX 
sensor is activated and the door opens, then closes, the relay returns to 
secured state in 2 seconds.

Function 4: Timed

When the REX sensor is activated, the relay will remain active for the 
duration of the Relay On Time.  Once the Relay On Time has expired, the 
relay drops out.  If motion continues, the relay will activate for another full 
cycle.  If the door is opened, the Relay On Time is reduced to 2 seconds.

External Disable/Enable

Input: Dry
In this mode, the REX is enabled or disabled by an external device, such as 
an access control system or security alarm panel. While this input is held 
open, the REX sensor will function normally. When this input is closed, the 
REX sensor operates the same as in Sequential Logic Input Mode.

Rex Sensor Default Modes

In an effort to make installation easier, we have defined different 
installation modes. These modes will cover 90+% of the applications. For 
the other 10%, there will be a Custom Mode where all settable functions 
can be adjusted.

Mode 1: Normal Latched REX Sensor

The most common mode, the sensor, when activated will enable the 
output relay for the duration of the Relay On Time (30 seconds). If a 
door contact is connected to Input #1, when the door is sensed to be 
opened, then closed, the Relay On Time is reduced to 2 seconds.

Relay On Time:

  

30s (If the door is opened and closed, the timer is  

     

reduced to 2s) 

Fail Mode:

 

Fail Safe 

Operating Function:

   Latched 

PIR Sensitivity:

 4   

Sound Vol:

 3 

Input #1:

 

Door Contact 

Input #2:

 

Press to Exit 

Input #3:

 

Sounder Input

Mode 2: Door Prop Alarm

The sensor monitors the status of the door. When activated, the sensor 
enables the output relay for 30 seconds. If the door is held open during 
the last 10 seconds of the Relay On Time, the piezo will sound until the 
door is closed. This mode requires a Door Contact to be connected to 
Input #1.

Relay On Time:

   

30s (If the door is opened and closed, the timer is  

     

reduced to 2s) If the door is held open during the  

     

last 10 seconds of the relay on time, the piezo will  

     

sound until the door is closed. 

Fail Mode:

 

Fail Safe 

Operating Function:

   Door Prop Open Alarm 

PIR Sensitivity:

 4  

Sound Vol:

 3 

Input #1:

 

Door Contact 

Input #2:

 

Press to Exit 

Input #3:

 

Sounder Input

Mode 3: Access Control

The sensor will activate normally on motion. Input #3 is used to connect 
to an access control system. A contact closure on Input #3 will activate 
the sensor. A maintained closure on Input #3 will activate the sensor 
indefinitely.

Relay On Time:

   

0.5 sec (If the door is opened and closed, the timer  

     

is reduced to 2s)
