A control device for a piece of powered equipment, comprising at least an electronic sensor (14, 15) and an electronic control board (16) for controlling the equipment depending on at least one control signal from the sensor. According to the invention, the electronic sensor is a contactless optical sensor (14), provided in an interface area (10) of the control device, configured to measure a distance separating at least one target (30), located in the interface area (10), and the optical sensor(14), the electronic board (16) being configured to establish a first control of a main function of the powered equipment, when a signal from the optical sensor is established for a measured distance within a first range of distances (31), and to establish a control for at least one additional function of the powered equipment, different from the main function, when a signal from the optical sensor is established for a measured distance greater than the first range of distances (31). |
