Application
Hand-E-Wave® is a touchless microwave switch designed to
provide a DPDT relay normally open or normally closed output
when motion is detected within the detection zone. The switch
can be configured to provide a 1 to 30 second timed output or
a toggle (on/off) output.
Powering the Unit
Hand-E-Wave is powered with an un-switched 12 to 24VAC/DC.
Polarity need not be followed; the switch will work, provided
there is a correct voltage across the red & black wires. This
input voltage cannot be in series with any connected locking
mechanism, such as magnetic locks, etc.
Operate the Sensor
Move your hand within the detection zone to activate the sensor. The "Hand" symbol will change from Blue to Green and the
audio will beep (if audio is enabled) to indicate successful activation of the sensor and relay.
Wiring
1) PWR: 12 to 24VAC/DC (BLACK)
2) PWR: 12 to 24VAC/DC (RED)
3) Normally Closed: NC Contact (GRAY).
4) COM: Relay Common (Orange)
5) Normally Open: NO Contact (BLUE)
Double pole contacts;
6) Normally Closed: NC Contact (WHITE)
7) COM: Relay Common (YELLOW)
8) Normally Open: NO Contact (GREEN)
Detection Zone
Hand-E-Wave's detection zone may be adjusted from 2" to 24" (typical).
Locate the Detection Zone potentiometer and rotate with a small standard screwdriver clockwise to increase the sensing field.
Rotate counterclockwise to decrease the sensing field. Use a greater range setting for an application where there is little traffic,
and precision is not required. Caution should be taken where the door may move into the beam when closing or operating, as this
may also activate the sensor. Use a shorter read range for an application where a positive deliberate wave is used to activate.
Output Mode
Timed Mode is recommended for applications where a momentary or timed output is desired. In Timed mode, detection
activates the relay for a set period of time (0.5 to 30 seconds). To select timed mode, remove the Output Mode jumper (or
place the jumper over ONE pin). To SET the output time, locate the Output Time potentiometer and rotate clockwise to
increase the output time (up to 30 seconds). Rotate counterclockwise to decrease the output time. To trigger an automatic
door opener, set the output time to 1 second.
Toggle Mode is recommended for ON/OFF switch applications. In toggle mode, detection activates the relay and a second
detection deactivates the relay. To select toggle mode, place the jumper over BOTH pins of the Output Mode.
Audio Control
Hand-E-Wave's audio feedback occurs when motion is detected within the detection zone. Audio can be enabled or disabled.
To enable audio feedback, remove the Audio Control jumper (or place the jumper over ONE pin). To disable audio feedback,
place the jumper over BOTH pins of the Audio Control.
Mounting
HEW-1 is designed for narrow or mullion mount applications. For recessed installation, use template provided to mark and
remove material. For surface mount installation, an optional spacer ring (SR-1) is available.
