Recommended height for installing an outdoor control panel
To ensure an accessible, standardised and user-friendly installation, it is recommended that the highest push-button, key or operating element of the product installed outdoors be positioned at a height of 120 cm above the ground.
This height falls within the range established by regulations in several countries (France, the UK, Singapore, etc.) for accessible mechanisms, which stipulate a height of between 80 and 120 cm. This facilitates use by people with reduced mobility or wheelchair users.
Furthermore, this positioning remains within the standard installation tolerances (±10 cm), allowing it to adapt to the characteristics of the façade and ensuring the system’s correct visibility and functionality.
This approach ensures a convenient, accessible installation that complies with current technical recommendations.
In any case:
- Always consult the regulations in your country or region, as they may specify different installation heights.
- Confirm the specific needs or requirements of your project or installation.
