Electric eye operator for power door

Electric eye operator for power door

On a recent visit to the Oregon State University campus, I was quite taken with these electric eye operators for powered doors.  I noted them first at toilet room doors (how sanitary – no touching!) but soon realized they were the campus standard.  Great idea!

Touch-less switches like this can be found by these and other companies:

To the left of the toilet room door is the silver plate that reacts to motion close to it.
