Easy mounting for self-sealing pushbutton
EAO has developed a novel fast-mounting version of its market-leading Series 56 pushbutton.
Switches are protected against extreme force
Pushbutton features a novel design that guarantees a stable force to the switch unit, independent to the force applied to the pushbutton.
These raised symbols are an excellent way of defining the switch function; EAO offers a wide choice as standard, including door open/close, up/down and lock/unlock.
For extra impact, the lenses can be coloured red, green, blue, yellow or natural silver to enhance the display of the black symbols.
The tough thermoplastic housing, metal lens and IP67 protection from the front makes the Series 56 one of EAO's most rugged products.
It is vandal-resistant and can be used inside or outside for numerous applications including door controls, toilet controls (door open, lock, flush), emergency help points and egress control.
The low actuation force makes this switch suitable for use by disabled users.
EAO has also developed an illuminated "secret til lit" indicator to complement the Series 56 range.
The indicator remains dark until activated, when it illuminates a symbol or legends such as "door out of order" or "engaged".
Customers can choose from a selection of LED-illumination colour options and a range of symbols and legends in different languages. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
