TAKEX Announces Launch of New PS-530E Request-to-Exit Sensor, with Advanced Technologies and Compact Design
San Jose, CA, May 30th 2025: TAKEX AMERICA INC, a leading manufacturer of security sensing technologies, today announced the launch of PS-530E, a new generation Request-to-Exit (REX) sensor. Building on the success of the trusted PS-520E, the new PS-530E offers superior lens technology, more field-selectable settings, and flexible mounting options, all engineered into one of the industry's most compact REX sensor designs.
PS-530E is engineered to streamline access control, providing safe, convenient, and reliable hands-free egress for automatic door and door strike release operations. Its passive infrared technology accurately detects the presence of a human body, ensuring doors unlock only when an individual intends to exit. This makes it an ideal solution for commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and any environment where controlled access is paramount.
Key Features and Benefits of PS-530E include:
- Advanced Detection: Superior lens technology and four selectable detection patterns for precise coverage and reduced false activations.
- Enhanced Flexibility: A wider range of adjustable settings, including output hold time (0.5 to 64 seconds) and sensitivity adjustments (Low, Mid, High, Ex-High) via DIP Switch, compared to the PS-520E's volume-based adjustments.
- Compact and Discreet Design: Measuring under 6 inches in length and weighing just 100g, PS-530E is one of the smallest REX sensors in the industry, allowing for unobtrusive installation in various door frames and tight spaces.
- Simplified Installation: Incorporates innovative push-fit screwless terminals for quick, tool-free wiring, significantly improving installation efficiency. An optional PS-3PL/BK mounting plate is available for single-gang electrical boxes.
- Higher Mounting Capability: Can be mounted up to 15’ (4.5m), an increase from PS-520E's 13’ maximum.
- UL Listed: PS-530E delivers reliable performance backed by rigorous third-party testing.
- Built to last: includes a five-year worry-free warranty for long-term peace of mind.
Representing the next evolution in request-to-exit technology, PS-530E was developed by directly addressing feedback from installers and end-users, resulting in a sensor that is not only highly effective and reliable but also remarkably easy to install.
PS-530E maintains the robust performance TAKEX sensors are known for, including high immunity to ambient light, RFI and other environmental noise.
