IRP-1: Isolation Relay Package
1.0 Purpose
The PXL-250 Tiger Controller, SB-293 Satellite Board, PXL-100 Smart Entry Controller, and SM2000 IntelliProx Single Door Controller are designed with built-in voltage transient suppression.
For most applications, this build-in protection is more than adequate - additional protection is not
required. However, there are two applications that can require additional protection.
1. magnetic locking devices or dry-contact devices without built-in suppression (typically older
models)
2. magnetic locking devices that draw large amounts of current (typically older models or
defective devices)
For these applications, the IRP-1 should be used to isolate the PXL-250, SB-293, PXL-100, or SM2000 from the transients these magnetic locking devices can generate, ensuring reliable operation of
the controller.
2.0 Contents
The IRP-1 is made up of the following items.
• one printed circuit board containing an isolation relay, diode, and connector strip
• one transient suppression device (1.5KE39C nonpolarized transorb)
• double sticky-sided foam tape (for mounting)
3.0 Specifications
The IRP-1's relay is rated as follows.
7 Amps max. @ 30 VDC
12 Amps max. @ 125 VAC
4.0 Application
There are two primary applications for the IRP-1. It can be used with an external locking device
(such as a magnetic lock or door strike) or with a dry-contact device (such as a switch or relay
controlling a motor for a parking barrier or power gate). The wiring diagram is different for these
two applications. Figures 1, 3, and 5 are wiring diagrams for adding an IRP-1 to an external locking
device. Figures 2, 4, and 6 are wiring diagrams for adding an IRP-1 to a dry-contact device.
Install the IRP-1 as shown in Figures 1 through 6 to meet your application's requirements. If the
application uses either 12 VDC or 24 VDC, install the supplied transorb as near to the external
locking device or dry-contact device as possible. Do not install the transorb if the device is being
powered with greater than 30 VDC.
