The Atlas range of foot switches is exceptionally devised to provide innovative control options. They are packed with several outstanding features and are completely sheathed in cast aluminum for durability and resilience to environmental factors. The units are painted a bright, eye-catching orange and conform to NEMA Type 1, 2, 4, 6, 6P and 13 UL. The housing confirms to EN 60529 1, 2, 4, 6, 6P and 13. They conform to protection guidelines of IP68 IEC 60601-2-2.
The switches are structured such that they are resilient to drips, dust, water and oil entering their interiors. They are provided with conduit entries, standard single PG 16 threads. The switches are versatile enough to be used worldwide. They are compatible with direct PLC interface and their contacts are bifurcated and galvanically isolated.
The switches incorporate SPDT and DPDT switch systems. They operate by a forced disconnect on the NC contacts which is achieved in two ways, with a snap action (positive break) in both SPDT and DPDT systems, and with a slow action in the SPDT system with an innovative "make-before-break" or "break-before-make" technique.
