TOUCHLESS DOOR SENSORS
Parabit’s Wave to Open Switch and ParaREX Motion Switch provide reliable, contactless Request to Exit (REX) solutions that support secure and hygienic access control. The Wave to Open Switch delivers hands-free door activation with a simple gesture, using touchless infrared technology to reduce surface contact and improve user experience. Ideal for high-traffic and ADA-compliant environments, this no-touch door sensor integrates seamlessly with automatic doors and access control systems. The ParaREX Motion Switch offers a motion-activated REX sensor that detects movement within a defined range, enabling fast, secure door egress without physical contact. These solutions enhance security while supporting hands-free entry and exit, making them ideal for healthcare, transportation, education, and commercial facilities.
ParaREX motion switches use radar-based sensing to support secure request-to-exit functions with configurable range, delay settings, and real-time door status monitoring.
The Wave to Open Switch enables touchless door access with a simple hand wave, ideal for reducing germ spread in high-traffic or controlled environments.

FAQs WHAT IS A REQUEST TO EXIT REX SENSOR? A request to exit sensor triggers door unlocking from the secure side of an access controlled opening. It allows people to exit without presenting credentials again while keeping entry controlled. WHAT IS A TOUCHLESS REX SENSOR AND HOW DOES IT WORK? Touchless REX sensors detect hand motion, presence or proximity. When a person waves a hand near the device, the sensor sends a signal to unlock or release the door without physical contact. WHERE ARE TOUCHLESS REX SENSORS TYPICALLY INSTALLED? Touchless REX sensors are commonly installed at secure egress points in healthcare facilities, offices, banks, airports, schools and other locations where hands free exit or hygiene is important. HOW DO TOUCHLESS REX SENSORS SUPPORT INFECTION CONTROL? By removing the need to touch door handles or push plates, touchless sensors help reduce contact with shared surfaces. This supports infection control protocols in clinical, public and shared environments. ARE TOUCHLESS REX SENSORS ADA COMPLIANT? Yes. Touchless sensors can support ADA requirements when mounted at accessible heights and configured to provide barrier free, hands free egress for people with mobility or dexterity challenges. CAN REX SENSORS INTEGRATE WITH ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS? Yes. REX sensors connect to access control panels, door hardware and alarms so egress events are supervised. They support functions such as door release timing, forced door alarms and lockout conditions. ARE TOUCHLESS REX SENSORS COMPATIBLE WITH AUTOMATIC DOORS? Yes. Touchless sensors can be tied into automatic door operators to provide seamless hands free entry or exit for all users, including those using wheelchairs, walkers or other mobility aids. DO TOUCHLESS REX SENSORS WORK IN OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS? Certain models are suitable for semi protected outdoor installations depending on mounting location and environmental exposure. It is important to confirm enclosure ratings and weather resistance for the specific application.
