Bircher CleanSwitch

Hygienic, Contact-Free Door Activation

The BBC Bircher CleanSwitch provides a convenient and hygienic way to activate automatic doors without physically touching a switch or door handle. Using 24.125 GHz radar technology, CleanSwitch detects a deliberate hand movement within an adjustable range of 100 to 600 mm. This allows users to open the door only when required, helping reduce contact with shared surfaces while also limiting unnecessary door movements. Designed for environments with strict hygiene requirements, the CleanSwitch features a highly durable front surface that can be cleaned using standard cleaning agents and surface disinfectants. Its IP65-rated construction also supports installation in moist or wet environments. Installation is fast and straightforward, with compatibility across standard flush-mounted boxes and intuitive, tool-free setup. The switch can also be customised with different LED colours, brightness settings, operating modes, pictograms and optional branding to suit the application.

Flexible Visual Feedback and Customisation

The integrated LED ring provides clear visual confirmation when the switch is activated. Installers can adjust the LED colour, brightness and operating mode without tools, allowing the device to suit different environments and user requirements. White and black covers are available, along with a broad selection of pictograms for opening, closing, accessibility, hand activation and locking functions. Custom logos and pictograms can also be applied on request.

Product FAQs

How does the BBC Bircher CleanSwitch work?

CleanSwitch uses radar technology to detect a deliberate hand movement within its detection field. Once movement is detected, the switch activates its relay output to control the connected automatic door system.

What is the detection range?

The detection range can be adjusted between 100 and 600 mm, allowing the activation distance to be matched to the installation.

What is the difference between pulse mode and toggle mode?

In pulse mode, the switch activates when a hand movement is detected. In toggle mode, the first hand movement can open the door and the second can close it, depending on the connected door control configuration.

Is CleanSwitch suitable for wet areas?

CleanSwitch is IP65 rated, providing protection against dust and water jets. This makes it suitable for sanitary areas and other moist environments when correctly installed.
