Essex HEW-3B Double Gang "Wave to Open" Touchless Switch, Black Faceplate

Reduce touchpoints and improve facility hygiene with the Essex Electronics HEW-3B touchless request-to-exit switch. Designed as a double-gang "Wave to Open" solution, this touch-free switch uses advanced 24GHz Doppler radar to provide reliable hands-free activation and consistent performance in busy environments. The adjustable 2"–24" detection zone lets you fine-tune sensitivity for doors, turnstiles, or gates, while selectable audio and visual feedback confirms successful activation for users.

Built from rugged aluminum with a black powder-coat faceplate, the HEW-3B stands up to daily cleaning and vandal-resistant requirements common to healthcare, education, retail and public-access installations. It operates on standard 24V AC/DC power and offers toggle or timed outputs (1–30 seconds) for easy integration with existing access control, security and monitoring systems. Ideal for reducing the spread of germs and simplifying door activation in surveillance and facility-management workflows. Specify custom graphics if needed and add the HEW-3B to your access control plan today to enhance safety and compliance.
