The RHAND Automatic Door Sensor is a hardwired touch-free activation switch designed for reliable operation with automatic doors, access control systems, door entry equipment, and other switching applications. Its sleek round design combines modern aesthetics with dependable performance, making it ideal for healthcare, commercial, educational, and public environments where hygiene and accessibility are essential.

The RHAND allows users to activate doors with a simple wave of the hand, helping reduce the spread of germs while providing a convenient solution for users carrying items or those with limited mobility.

Unlike traditional mechanical push pads, the RHAND has no moving parts, resulting in greater durability, lower maintenance, and a longer operating life. The adjustable sensing range enables installers to optimise performance for different locations, while an integrated sounder and selectable LED indicators provide clear visual and audible confirmation of every activation. The high-contrast graphics and feedback features also support accessibility, making the sensor fully DDA compliant.

To further improve hygiene, the durable faceplate incorporates antimicrobial technology that continuously eliminates 99.9% of bacteria, including E. coli, MRSA, Salmonella, and Legionella. This makes the RHAND an excellent replacement for traditional push buttons and hospital switches in environments where infection control is a priority.

Available in a range of finishes and designs, with optional bespoke graphics and company branding, the RHAND is suitable for both internal and external installations, providing a professional and hygienic solution for virtually any automatic door application.

◾ Touch sensor doesn’t beep/activate when touched

Step-by-step checks: After each step below, de-power the system for 10 seconds and power it back up.

Screw the sensor to the wall properly, don’t have it dangling or in your hand.
Change the sensitivity.
Ensure the jumper next to the touch sensor relay is on and is making properly.
Make sure 0V is in the correct terminal, not the REM terminal.
Use a multimeter to check you’ve got voltage at the touch sensor (+V Red & 0V black).
Take off the wall and connect power directly to the power supply on a short piece of cable to rule out any cable issues or short circuits.

◾ Touch sensor activates randomly

Solution:

Turn down the sensitivity on the contactless door activation switch, especially if there is emergency lighting nearby.
Make sure there isn’t excess cable in the back box.
Re-terminate all connections.
Touch sensors can be activated by changes in voltage which is a problem on unregulated power supplies. Fit a separate transformer.
