GEZE has introduced a ‘touchless’ manual activation solution for automatic door operation. 

The proximity switch GC 306 is ideal for environments where hygiene is crucial, as the non-contact activation can be set as required and has a range of 10 to 50 centimetres to open automatic swings, sliding, folding, revolving or curved sliding doors seamlessly.

The GC 306 can be used in the vicinity of sensitive medical equipment and IT server rooms due to the low voltage operation conforming to radio equipment directives.

Its structure allows for simple and time-saving installation both in flush and surface mounted sockets, and to maximise protection from bacterial contact, it can be fitted onto walls, behind tiles, wood, plaster, plastic and glass. 

In addition, the GC 306 allows the door to close automatically after the hold-open time with the ‘pulse’ switching mode, and ‘toggle’ allows it to remain open until the switch is activated again.

Sales director of GEZE UK, Andy Howland said the switch provides non-contact and hygienic manual activation which is vital to environments which require high levels of hygiene.
