IR LAB Outdoor IR Reflector LIR-CB32

The IR LAB Outdoor IR Reflector LIR-CB32 is a high-performance passive retro-reflector designed for use with active infrared (IR) beam barriers. It enables single-sided operation of IR barriers by reflecting the IR beam back to the receiver, simplifying installation and reducing wiring costs. Built for harsh outdoor environments, this reflector features a UV-resistant polycarbonate housing with IP65 ingress protection, ensuring reliable performance in rain, dust, and extreme temperatures from -25°C to +55°C.

Advantages

• Enables single-sided active IR barrier operation, reducing installation complexity and cost.
• Passive design requires no power supply or electronics, ensuring long-term reliability.
• UV-resistant polycarbonate housing withstands outdoor exposure without degradation.
• IP65-rated protection against dust and water jets.
• Prismatic reflective surface optimized for 850nm-940nm IR wavelengths, maximizing reflection efficiency up to 100 meters.
• Integrated aiming marks simplify alignment during installation.

Suitable for

• Outdoor perimeter security systems using active IR beam barriers (e.g., IR-LAB LIR-100, LIR-200 series).
• Industrial sites, warehouses, and commercial properties requiring reliable intrusion detection.
• Applications where running cables to both ends of a barrier is impractical.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the LIR-CB32 with IR-LAB active IR barriers such as the LIR-100 or LIR-200 series. Ensure the reflector is mounted on a stable surface and aligned with the beam path using the integrated aiming marks. Regular cleaning of the reflective surface will maintain maximum range.
