DUAL MODE PROXIMITY AND
TOGGLE SWITCH
The J2 LED Lighting, LLC AIR2 is a dual mode touchless switch for low voltage LED lighting control.
The modes of operation are door proximity and hand
wave toggle, both providing on/off control. The AIR2 is
software driven providing automatic changes between
mode functions. The body of the AIR2 is very small with
a body length slightly under 1.80”, a width under 0.70”,
and a thickness less than 0.30”.
The operation of the AIR2 is such that in the door
proximity mode when a surface (the door) is in near
proximity (less than 100 mm/four inches), the switch is
off. When the door surface moves out of range of the
AIR2 sensor face, the switch turns on the controlled light.
When no surface is in front of the AIR2 sensor face for
more than 10 seconds, the software switches to the hand
wave toggle mode. Moving a hand past the sensor face
within the sense range toggles the light off and the switch
is latched into this off position. The AIR2 will stay latched
off until the hand wave in front of the AIR2 sensor face is
repeated for on latching. The AIR2 will revert back to the
door proximity mode when a surface is in front of the
sensor face more than 10 seconds. The AIR2 may be
operated as a door proximity switch or a hand wave
toggle switch, depending on the needs of the application.
The AIR2 has a sleek profile with an extruded
aluminum case with moisture resistant sealed front and
back covers. The AIR2 operates from 7-24 volts DC. The
maximum current switched at 7-12 volts is 2. 5 amps, while
the maximum current at 24 volts DC is 2.0 amps. The
AIR2 can be operated from a nine volt battery for portable
applications such as theatrical props or scenery.
The AIR2 is equipped with male and female DC barrel
type connectors of the 5. 5 mm x 2.1 mm size jack and
plug. The cable length is a nominal 18” (460 mm) flexible
UL2464 rated black PVC.
Securing the unit for general illumination applications
in cabinet work for either door proximity mode or under a
counter hand wave toggle mode, double-sided tape can
be used on the unit’s flat body shape. For applications in
prop and scenery use, the unit can be temporarily secured
with Gaffer’s tape or hot glue. For general lighting
applications, the AIR2 can be used with a 30 watt/12 volt
DC constant voltage LED driver power supply.
The AIR2 is priced at $16.99 and is well suited for
various LED lighting applications, for example:
• Theatrical prop and scenery LED light control
• DJ lights and audio rack lights
• Costume lights
• Architectural cabinet lighting
• Commercial and industrial applications
