A touch of glass for door switch

Touch-sensitive switch can be mounted directly on glass in new-generation public transport vehicles.

EAO has developed a novel touch-sensitive switch for new-generation public transport vehicles, particularly buses, trains and trams fitted with large areas of glass.

Many new bus designs today require door opener switches that can be mounted to glass.

The Series 58 touch-sensitive switch mounts directly without the need to drill holes.

It will even operate through double glazing up to 16mm thick.

It is fitted with an electronic switching element and contains no moving parts, so it is extremely durable and offers a long service life.

Two LEDs (red and green) enable the switch to change from red to green when touched.

The touch-surface is made of anodised aluminium.

It is surrounded by a tough, thermoplastic housing, which is available in a range of bright colours including red, green, yellow and blue.

It is offered in two versions: single- and double-sided.

EAO can engrave a wide range of standard or customised legends on the touch surface to suit the application.

The Series 58 shares the same quality of build and design with EAO's Series 56 range, which has become the industry's most widely recognised door opener.
