TouchFree Standard Button
Installation Guide
The Novax TouchFree Standard Button enables pedestrians to activate a button
request with a single back and forth hand-wave. The 3D TouchFree™ Gesture
Recognition Sensors detects Hand Waving motion in three dimensions (Axis).
Once the button is activated, the Red LED will momentarily light up supported by
an audible tone.
Installation Steps:
1. Take the existing 2 Push Button Wires and attach to the back of
TouchFree Button’s Philip-Screws terminal. Terminal connections
are Non-Polarized.
•Compatible with:
oNEMA Relay interfaces
▪12 –25VAC rms
oCaltrans 242 / 242L /244 DC Isolator
▪18 - 36VDC
oNEMA TS2-BIU specific interfaces–follow
Recommended Wiring on page 2
2. Use the 4 Cap screw (Security Screws) provided to secure the
TouchFree Button on either New or Existing round base.
- 4 Security Screws included with the Button Hex Skt Hd, SS, 8-32 x
5/8
- TouchFree Button can be Retrofitted to all Standard Round Push
Button Bases
3. Wave your hand back and forth across the Button (any Direction
and/or angle) from 1 to 15cm (0.5 to 6 inches) to Activate a
Pedestrian Request.
-The Button’s top Red LED will Blink-On once and play a Double-
Tone to confirm activation.
-To Activate 3-sec Call Out pedestrian request –Pedestrian must
place their hand in-front of the Sensors (within 3cm) for 3sec.
The Button’s top RED LED will Blink-On three times and play
Triple-Tone to confirm Long Press activation.
ATTENTION
Do not connect TouchFree Button directly to any
voltage source. This may damage the unit.
Application Note: for Custom Control Systems (for example, Solar RRFB Pedestrian Crossing systems) an adapter
may be required to interface the button for proper operation. Please contact Novax support at 1.866.977.4277

Condition 1
Action
•TouchFree Button Not
turning On and/or
•No audio or LED feedback
from TouchFree Button with
Hand-Wave
•Measure the voltage across
Terminal while TouchFree Button is Not
Connected. Voltage on wires need to be
between
•(18 < Voltage < 36VDC) +/-10%
(12 < voltage < 25VAC ) +/-10%
•If Voltage is less than minimum - See
Recommended Wiring below
Condition 2
Action
•One TouchFree Button Work
•Two TouchFree Buttons not
working.
•Both TouchFree Buttons not
turning On
•Both TouchFree Buttons not
activating with Hand-Wave
•Measure the Current across Cabinet Push
Button Wires (TouchFree Button is Not
Connected)
Using mA meter DM.
Current on wires need to be between
•(18mA DC < Current < 36mA DC) +/-10%
•(12mA AC < Current < 210 mA AC) +/-10%
•If Current is less than 6mA –See
Recommend Wiring below
Recommended Wiring
•Wire a 1K Ohm Resistor between the
Cabinet PED Power Source to PED Input+
(24V DC or 12VAC for BIU)
•Two TouchFree Buttons can be
connected in parallel to the same PED
INPUT +
•The Cabinet PED source will increase
both the voltage and current supply to
the Touch-Free Button (s)
Bench Testing
•Connect the TouchFree Button to a
DC Power Supply (18 –36VDC) with
1K Ohm Resistor.
•The TouchFree Button will be
operational 3-4sec after Power ON.
•Wave Hand across the 2 Sensors –
The Top LED will blink Red and play a
‘Beep-bop’sound
