Wave hello to touchless access with battery-powered actuators
Reducing the spread of bacteria and viruses is crucial in health care settings. Health care-associated infections (HAIs) lead to thousands of deaths each year, even before the coronavirus pandemic. Today, health care hygiene is even more crucial. Touchless access reduces the number of surfaces people touch in a facility, which decreases opportunities for exposure to infections and improves peace of mind. One common way to achieve this is by pairing low-energy automatic door operators with touchless actuators.
The LCN 8310-2210 battery-powered touchless actuator provides an easy-to-install, budget-friendly solution. It’s ideal for retrofit applications or any openings that aren’t suited for line-powered actuators. When paired with an automatic door operator, this touchless actuator opens the door with a simple wave of the hand. For added simplicity, LCN offers kitted solutions that are pre-programmed to work together. To complete the solution, check out LCN’s offering of automatic door operators.
