Dortronics W5278-25XE1W 5278 Series Double Pole. Double Throw Switch Mounted on Single Gang Plate, Stainless Steel

Deliver hygienic, reliable door activation where security and sanitation matter most. The Dortronics W5278-25XE1W 5278 Series touch-free button provides a contactless solution for access control systems in hospitals, laboratories, clean rooms and commercial entrances. Using optical infrared sensing with a 4-inch detection range, a simple wave triggers the stainless-steel, flush-mount switch before contact—reducing disease transmission and minimizing wear. The illuminated LED ring shows red standby and green trigger status for clear visual monitoring in low light, while the DPDT dry-contact outputs and 12V DC input make wiring straightforward for integration with electronic locks, automatic door openers and card access systems. Built on a rugged single-gang plate, the switch withstands frequent use and cleaning agents common to healthcare and industrial environments. Ideal for security-conscious facilities that require touchless entry points, the Dortronics touchless access switch also supports surveillance and monitoring workflows by providing reliable activation inputs to control systems.
