Introduction
The next development for our partner GTT’s UNTACT contactless touch technology is contactless elevator (lift) controls or E-Buttons. Using the same technology and concept GTT are now developing elevator controls that allow the user to operate the lift car without having to touch the buttons. With COVID-19 set to be a part of our lives for the foreseeable future anything we can do to limit the chance of cross contamination is a must.
The contactless E-Button is used in conjunction with the existing push buttons meaning the E-Button can be easily retro-fitted into existing installations with very little hardware modification and with GTT’s button mapping APP traditional push button controls can be updated to the latest contactless system in a short space of time. GTT’s E-Button system can co-exist with the existing push buttons so users can use either technology to operate the elevator/lift car.
The E-Button consists of two infrared sensor bars which are mounted either side of the existing push buttons and a small PCB interface which connects to the lift car controls and the E-Button sensors.
