Features

  • NSF-61 approved
  • Power ratings 25 VA
  • Wide connection range
  • Fast switching, allowing precise control
  • Compact in-line design
  • High life expectancy

Applications

  • Circulation pump protection
  • Leak detection
  • Flow sensing
  • Mains water control
  • Dispensing Equipment
  • Cooling system for electronic equipment (Laser Heads, Welding machine, X-Ray Tubes, Semiconductor Equipment)
  • Processing Equipment, Water Purification and Filtering, Distilling

XDRT Series

NEW MULTIFUNCTION HANDLE IS DESIGNED FOR RIGHT-HAND OPERATION

APEM introduces the newest XD series option, the RT handle. An ergonomic grip offering a wide selection of pushbutton and Hall effect thumbwheel combinations. Designed exclusively for APEM’s XD series joystick, the RT grip provides IP67 above panel sealing and is ideally suited for vehicle applications requiring dedicated right-hand operation.

Featuring both front- and rear-facing configuration plates, the handle allows users to easily reach all forward-facing functions with an easy sweep of the thumb. Considering the maximum possible configuration, the new RT handle can provide up to four axes of proportional control and 10 momentary switching functions. The XD RT includes redundant Hall effect sensors to provide more than 10 million operations, and measures just 60mm below panel yet withstands horizontal loads up to 400lbf. The XD series may be specified with CAN bus J1939 or CANopen outputs and is considered Sil2 compatible. The result is a compact yet robust joystick ideally suited for off-highway vehicles and machinery.

Features

  • Configured with APEM’s IX, HR, and NV series
  • Modular faceplates, customized as needed
  • Sil2 compliant
  • IP67 above panel sealing
  • CAN bus protocols

FNR Series

A NEW, COMPLETELY SEALED ROCKER SWITCH, IDEAL FOR MOUNTING ON CONTROL LEVERS

APEM is launching its new FNR series: a new, completely watertight rocker switch, specially designed for easy forward & reverse control. This rocker switch was developed to maximize the user comfort without compromising on efficiency, by keeping a very intuitive operation.

Being extremely well sealed, this rocker switch is particularly suited for demanding environments, especially on all-in-one joystick controls. Circular in shape (20 mm dia.) and with LED resistors embedded, it can be easily mounted and installed on a control lever.

The FNR series is ergonomically optimized and has excellent tactile effect. Whether it is mounted on the forward side of the joystick or on the lever, its ergonomically designed size and height means that the final user experience is more intuitive. Handling is comfortable and precise, even when used repeatedly.

Because of the vertical integration of all our production phases, this new rocker switch can be personalized for backlighting (5 colors available), markings, extra sealing, flying leads output (type and length) and connectors.

Features

  • SIL2 compatible
  • Millions of cycle B10d value
  • IP69K
  • LED resistors embedded
