FAQ
How does the contactless activation work?
The SoloButton features advanced proximity sensing that activates when your hand gets as close as 15mm from the button surface. This contactless operation eliminates the need to physically touch the switch, making it ideal for hygienic environments and public spaces.
Can I use the SoloButton with gloves or dirty hands?
Yes, the contactless technology works effectively even when wearing gloves or with dirty or wet hands, making it perfect for kitchens, workshops, healthcare facilities, and other demanding environments.
What’s the difference between 1-gang and 2-way functionality?
When used with a LightCore (1-gang), the SoloButton provides standard single-location switching. When paired with a LightCore (2-way), it enables two-way switching, allowing the same light to be controlled from multiple locations such as stairs or hallways.
Can I turn off the night backlight?
Yes, the optional soft night backlight can be turned off in the Ajax app device settings if not required. The backlight is designed to be subtle enough not to disturb sleep when installed near bedrooms.
What colours are available for the SoloButton?
The SoloButton is available in eight colours: Black, White, Fog, Gray, Graphite, Ivory, Oyster, and Olive, allowing you to match any interior design scheme.
How far can the SoloButton communicate with the Ajax hub?
Using Jeweller communication technology, the SoloButton can communicate with Ajax hubs at distances up to 1,100 metres in open space, suitable for large buildings and warehouses.
