Essex HEW-3S Hand-E-Wave Double Gang, Stainless Faceplate

Keep doorways hygienic and compliant with the Essex HEW-3S Hand-E-Wave double-gang, stainless faceplate request-to-exit device. Built for high-traffic environments like hospitals, schools and retail centers, this hands-free door activation switch uses 24GHz Doppler Radar to deliver consistent, contactless operation and reduce the spread of germs and viruses. The HEW-3S offers an adjustable 2"–24" detection zone and selectable audio/visual feedback, giving facility managers precise control over activation range and user confirmation.

Constructed with a low-profile stainless steel faceplate and ruggedized housing, the Hand-E-Wave resists vandalism, is easy to sanitize, and integrates smoothly with existing access control and security systems via 24V AC/DC power. With toggle or timed output (1–30 seconds) and optional custom graphics, it simplifies installation and enhances door monitoring, surveillance and overall safety. Backed by an 18-month limited warranty, the HEW-3S is ideal for new builds or retrofits requiring reliable, hygienic request-to-exit functionality.
