Essex HEW-3W Hand-E-Wave Double Gang, White Faceplate

Improve building hygiene and streamline access control with the Essex Electronics HEW-3W Hand-E-Wave touch-free exit switch. Designed as a Request to Exit Device, this double gang, low-profile unit uses advanced 24GHz Doppler radar to provide consistent, reliable hands-free activation—ideal for high-traffic public areas where sanitation matters. The adjustable detection zone (2 to 24 in) lets integrators fine-tune sensitivity for doors, turnstiles, and secure portals, while selectable audio/visual feedback confirms successful activation for users.

Constructed from stainless steel with a white powdercoat faceplate, the HEW-3W is vandal-resistant, easy to clean, and built for long-term durability in commercial, healthcare, education, and retail environments. It accepts 24V AC/DC power and offers toggle or timed outputs (1–30 seconds) to integrate smoothly into existing access control, surveillance, and security monitoring systems. Backed by an 18-month limited warranty, the Hand-E-Wave reduces touchpoints and supports infection-control protocols without sacrificing performance. Add the HEW-3W to your next access control deployment to enhance hygiene, compliance, and operational efficiency.
