Precision Door Activation Detection for Automotive Testing.
The Racelogic Door Open Trigger Switch (RLACS345) is a compact, highly responsive sensor designed for detecting vehicle door opening status with precision and reliability. Ideal for automotive testing and validation environments, it offers a non-invasive way to log door open/close events in real time.
It is used within the VBOX Dooring solution, integrating seamlessly with VBOX or third-party data loggers. It provides clear, definitive signals when a vehicle door is opened during consumer and development testing.
- Simple Integration
Easily installed between the vehicle door and body – no permanent modifications required.
- Digital Output
Integrated in-line resistors allows the sensor to output a clear 0 V (closed), supply voltage* (open) signal for straightforward digital logging.
*Amplitude of the supply voltage will determine the ‘on’ state voltage.
- Robust & Flexible Design
The slim, flexible form factor allows it to conform to a range of door seals and geometries.
- Real-Time Feedback
Provides instant status output when used in combination with VBOX Test suite.
- Versatile Application
Can be used to detect not only door status, but also bonnet, boot or other panel movement.

- Wire the black wire to the ground pin (15).
- Wire the red wire to the power pin (9).
- Wire the yellow wire to a positive pin in an available Isolated Channel pair.
- Wire the blue wire to a negative pin in an available Isolated Channel pair.
In this example, we are using channel 4 for the signal wires.
