BSM-CAPSTD1 – Finger Touch Sensor
Carlo Gavazzi BSM-CAPSTD1 is a compact Smart-house bus-powered capacitive finger touch sensor designed for installation behind a blind flange in building automation control applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi BSM-CAPSTD1 Finger Touch Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi BSM-CAPSTD1 is a compact capacitive finger touch sensor designed for Smart-house building automation systems. It provides a programmable touch-operated input that enables users to control compatible automation functions without a conventional mechanical push button.
Designed for installation behind a blind flange, the BSM-CAPSTD1 detects finger touch through its sensor area and transmits the resulting command through the Smart-house bus. The module is powered directly from the bus, so no separate external power supply is required, helping simplify installation in distributed building-control systems.
With compact dimensions of approximately 30 × 20 × 28 mm, a typical bus current consumption of 2 mA and a 220–300 ms pulse prolongation, the BSM-CAPSTD1 provides a discreet touch-control solution for Smart-house installations. Channel coding is carried out using the Carlo Gavazzi BGP-COD-BAT programming unit together with the appropriate programming cable.

Discreet Touch Control for Building Automation
Capacitive touch sensing allows building-control functions to be operated without the moving components associated with conventional mechanical switches. The Carlo Gavazzi BSM-CAPSTD1 is designed to sit behind a suitable blind flange, creating a discreet touch-sensitive control point while maintaining connection to the Smart-house automation bus.
Because the module receives its power directly from the Smart-house bus, installation requires no independent local power source. Programmable channel coding allows the touch input to be assigned within the automation system, making the sensor suitable for lighting and other compatible building-control functions.
Typical Applications
- Smart-house building automation systems.
- Touch-operated lighting controls.
- Residential automation installations.
- Commercial building-control systems.
- Discreet wall-mounted control points.
- Replacement of conventional mechanical push-button functions.
- Distributed Smart-house control installations.
