Infrared Touchless Switch MACLEAN MCE84 — 5A current rating, infrared sensor, contactless wall switch

MACLEAN MCE84 is an infrared touchless switch designed for contactless control of lighting and other electrical circuits. With a compact wall-mount form factor and an infrared proximity sensor, the switch detects hand gestures or movement to toggle connected loads without physical contact. Rated for a 5A current load, this contactless wall switch is suitable where hygiene, reduced wear and convenient operation are priorities, such as bathrooms, kitchens, public areas and homes.

Advantages

The infrared touchless switch eliminates the need for physical contact, reducing surface contamination and mechanical wear. Its infrared sensor provides reliable motion detection for straightforward on/off control, and the 5A current rating covers common lighting loads and small electrical appliances. The wall-mounted design integrates into standard installations while offering a modern, hygienic control method that helps maintain cleaner surfaces and prolongs switch life.

Suitable for

• Hygienic environments such as medical rooms and clinics
• Bathrooms and kitchens where hands-free switching reduces contamination
• Public spaces and commercial facilities with frequent user turnover
• Residential installations for touch-free lighting control

Key specifications

• Control method: infrared proximity sensor for contactless switching
• Rated current: 5 A suitable for typical lighting circuits
• Mounting: wall-mounted contactless switch designed for standard electrical boxes
• Functionality: motion/gesture detection for on/off control
• Compatibility: intended for low-to-moderate power lighting and small electrical loads

How to use

Install the infrared touchless switch in place of a conventional wall switch following electrical safety standards and local wiring regulations; ensure power is disconnected before installation. Once mounted and wired, restore power and position the sensor at a convenient height for hand detection. Activate or deactivate the connected circuit by moving your hand within the sensor range; the infrared sensor will detect motion and toggle the output accordingly. For safe and reliable operation, verify correct wiring and secure mounting before regular use.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, mount the switch where the sensor has an unobstructed detection zone and away from direct sunlight or strong heat sources that could affect infrared sensing. Use the device with lighting loads within the 5A rating and consult a qualified electrician for installations involving higher currents or complex wiring.
