Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2894785A1] Electrical switch for operating at least one electrical device, comprising a first module for generating instructions and a second module for switching on or off the connection between said at least one electrical device and a power source, wherein the first module comprises a capacitive sensor with a sensor electrode for detecting the intrusion of an object into the space near the sensor electrode and a first control unit connected to the sensor electrode for evaluating the change in the capacitance of the sensor electrode due to said intrusion and for generating an instruction based on said evaluation, and wherein the second module is provided with a switch member for closing or opening an electrical connection between said at least one electrical device and a power source, the switch member being operated by means of a second control unit, wherein the electrical switch is provided with communication means for connecting the first and second control units in order to operate the switch member by means of instructions generated by the first module.
