EAO has launched a new compact, illuminated Emergency-stop as part of its Series 84 range. Built to EAO's high standards, this switch has been designed for optimal functionality and usability throughout assembly, mounting and operation. With a low behind-panel depth, 'foolproof' monoblock design and bright LED illumination, the Series 84 sets new standards in Emergency-stop switches.
The switch requires no additional assembly because of its single-piece design. It can be mounted to a front plate with a thickness of between 1 and 4 mm and safely and easily adapted to PDBs of different heights. It is available with a choice of terminations - flying lead or plug-in terminals.
Key features:
* Single-piece construction.
* Sealed to IP65.
* Conforms to EN 418 and EN 60947.
* Low behind-panel depth - 13 mm.
* Illumination visible from side view.
* Variable voltage illumination - 5 to 30 V d.c.
* Long-life - 50 000 operations.
The Series 84 Emergency-stop is most suited to compact and handheld control panels featured on a wide range of machinery and process control equipment, including production lines, cranes, robots, moving platforms, as well as security systems and emergency exits. Because of its fast, easy mounting and its connection to PCBs, this switch also suits modern assembly techniques.
