Legrand’s Arteor electronic switches, which are sensitive to a gentle ‘swipe’, have gained popularity in applications which require pristine hygiene standards, especially in commercial and healthcare installations.

These switches, which don’t require the effort of manual push button control, have also been developed for the convenience of paraplegics.

Arteor sensitive electronic switches, with a 100/240 VA capacity, control light sources by simply passing a hand in front of the switch. Technology of the micro sensor has been designed that any movement further than 5 mm from the switch will not trigger turning on or off the light. These units have a LED indicator light as standard, to show the status of the current load – on or off.

Legrand’s range of Arteor switches also includes mechanical, push buttons and automatic switches, as well as dimmer and double pole switches.

Arteor wiring devices – from simple switches, to the most advanced home automation systems and fully networked installations – are fully compatible with international socket and flush-mounting box standards.
