berührungsloser Schalter Explanation: my suggestion is "berührungslos" meaning that no physical contact is needed to control the switch (however this can be done). The same term is used for computer mice who operate with IR. |

zero touch switch Explanation: Insbesondere Schalter, Eingabegeräte und sonstige Hardwareperipherie werden im neudeutschen Sprachgebrauch mit englischen Begriffen bezeichnet - eine Übertragung ins Deutsche ist hier also weder notwendig noch gebräuchlich; siehe "Joystick". eigene Kenntnisse |

Null-Tastschalter / Nulltaste Explanation: switch = Schalter touch = tasten I have a feeling as if your "4-zero touch switch" and "5-zero touch switch" etc. may be referring to an illustration, where the location of the zero touch switch is indicated.

Comment to my "agree" Explanation: "zero touch switch" is not an English expression but Sunrise Medical house language. An alternative to useing their house language would be to find out how it is controlled (pneumatic, optical, .....) and use an explaining word. |
