Touch and touchless solutions for the sanitary industry.
Sanitary controls operate where water is the constant. From residential bathrooms to high-traffic commercial restrooms to institutional shower facilities, RNC delivers both PiezoTouch and R-Force touchless technologies engineered for permanent wet environments.
What sanitary controls face.
Water is the constant. From residential bathrooms to high-traffic commercial restrooms to institutional showers, every application shares permanent exposure to water, steam, cleaning agents, and the demand for flawless reliability.
Residential bathroom and shower.
RNC designs complete shower panels and faucet controls for residential bathrooms. Panels integrate with electronic thermostatic mixing valves via communication protocols, providing precise temperature and flow control through a single seamless metal surface. Faucet controls use individual piezo switches connected to central control systems, no onboard logic required.
For fixture manufacturers, RNC piezo senses through the product's own surface. Specialized integration projects, developed in close collaboration.
Commercial restrooms and washrooms.
Offices, airports, shopping centers, restaurants. Metered taps, timed faucets, and flush valves that must withstand thousands of activations per day. Vandalism, aggressive cleaning, and constant water contact are standard conditions.
Commercial showers and institutional facilities.
Schools, sports facilities, swimming pools, military and correctional facilities. The most demanding sanitary segment: direct running water, steam, anti-vandal requirements, and mandatory Legionella flushing protocols.
A programmable piezo switch engineered for sanitary installations. Fully programmable via USB with hygiene flush at 24h, 48h, or 72h intervals, configurable flow time with start-stop operation, security shut-off, and lockout between uses. A smart flush mode resets the timer after each use, reducing water consumption while maintaining compliance.
Touch sensitivity adjustable from 0.25N upwards, enabling operation behind metal surfaces up to 3mm thick. Drives both latching and non-latching solenoid valves from a single unit, on battery or mains (6-24V DC). Activation requires just 0.5N, compared to 3-5N for mechanical buttons, far exceeding ADA accessibility requirements.
Built-in communication protocol for IoT and building management integration. Hygiene flush and activation events logged for proof of compliance. Self-test reports operational status on demand. Firmware-based platform supports future features as regulations evolve. Meets OSHA, ANSI/ISEA Z358.1, CDC/Health Canada Legionella guidance, EPA WaterSense, and ADA standards.
Dedicated configuration software. Connect via USB to set product type, valve operation, flow timing, hygiene flush intervals, and sensor parameters.
Reliable touchless for sanitary applications.
Touchless faucets, urinals, and flush valves are standard in commercial restrooms. But traditional IR sensors have well-known problems: false activations from mirrors and reflective surfaces, inconsistent performance across light and dark objects, accidental triggering by high-visibility workwear, and high maintenance costs. R-Force eliminates these problems.
RNC piezo shower panels and PTF-22-PDC switches are deployed in institutional sports and school facilities, operating under daily direct water exposure and Legionella flushing cycles with zero moisture-related failures. In residential applications, RNC panels are integrated into premium fixture products for European manufacturers. R-Force touchless sensors are deployed in commercial restroom installations replacing traditional IR sensors with zero false activation complaints.
