Optical capacitive built-in button OptoKap01
The perfect combination of precision and reliability:
Our optical-capacitive built-in button combines two innovative
operating principles.
The OptoKap01 built-in button combines the optical and capacitive operating principles of a button and is immune to a wide range of interference. With the completely closed front the OptoKap01 meets IP protection standards up to IP66/67 and can also be used in environments with more demanding hygiene requirements.
- In addition to the standard switching outputs "normal open" and "normal closed", the optical-capacitive button is equipped with a UART interface.
- In addition to outputting the actuation state, the OptoKap enables the colors of the switching states to be customized and displayed using the 15mm light ring.
- Functions such as buttons, switches or button-switch combinations can be individually adapted and user-guided operation can be achieved by switching the lighting on and off..
- The built-in front glass can be individually designed according to your wishes.

Description:
Possible applications:
- as a replacement for mechanical buttons/switches
- in hygienically demanding environments (e.g. medicine, food industry,...)
- in areas at risk of vandalism
Advantages:
- many functions can be individually adjusted
- no moving parts, no mechanical wear
- closed front, easy to clean
- very resistant to chemicals, contamination, vandalism
Features:
Switch:
The OptoKap01 switches the output with every touch. Can be selected with or without saving the current switching state when restarting.
Proximity switch:
The OptoKap01 indicates an approach to the sensor by changing color until the output is switched.
Button:
The OptoKap01 switches the output for the duration of the operation. Can be set as an "ON" function (normally closed) and "OFF" function (normally closed).
Button-switch combination:
The OptoKap01 reacts to short touches like a button. After a touch time of 2s it switches like a switch. With or without saving the current switching state when restarting.
