Seameless switch meets demands of shrinking world
EAO meets the demands of a shrinking world, enabling the series 61 E-Stop to be integrated into compact control panels, mosaic panels, and a wide range of machinery and process control equipement.
The LCD is multicolour and delivers clear, high-contrast images for wide-angle viewing.
It is fully programmable and software-controlled, providing an infinite number of possibilities for displaying function.
The colour of backlight can be changed - even made to flash - to present a change in function to the user or to alert them to a new status.
After being pressed, it can immediately display a new legend, thereby guiding an operator through a menu of controls; this significantly reduces the need for training.
With high-quality contacts to providing a crisp, tactile feedback, and long life of a minimum of one million actuations, this switch is one of the most reliable and user-friendly control products on the market.
It is suited to use in a wide range of applications, particularly broadcasting and communication, surveillance, factory automation, medical electronics and educational instruments. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
