HWT Series

The HWT Series Capacitive Stop Request Buttons have been specifically developed for public and private transportation applications. As one of the pioneers in capacitive sensor technology for passenger transport, CAPTRON offers a robust and maintenance-free solution designed for continuous daily operation.

The HWT series combines user-friendly touch operation with a durable and vandal-resistant design. The sensors require no mechanical force for activation, ensuring comfortable use while minimizing wear and maintenance requirements. Their robust construction guarantees reliable performance even in heavily used transportation environments.

For barrier-free accessibility, selected models are available with Braille markings and raised pictograms in accordance with TSI PRM requirements. In addition, the buttons can provide optical, acoustic and tactile feedback to support all passenger groups.

The HWT series can be customized to customer-specific requirements in both appearance and functionality. The product family also includes the compact seriesSR, which combines stop request and door opening functions in a single device while complying with R107.8 requirements.
