FS
SERIES
The heavy duty, medium size FS series foot switches are
primarily used in industrial and medical applications. Due
to the sturdy design of the die cast aluminum housing,
the foot switch is an exceptional value for strict
environments. This compact design offers a lot of
versatility:
•
Every combination of slow make-break and snap
action switch inserts with momentary, maintained and
two stage momentary contact types are possible.
Different potentiometer values are also available.
•
Additional safety features like a foot guard, Anti-Trip
lever and especially two safety foot switch versions
complete this line.
•
The optional medical versions and explosion
protected foot switches meet the requirements of
either IEC 601-1 or EEX d ||C T6, and come with
appropriate strain relief and 3 meter (10 ft.) cable.
•
The foot switch can be customized with a wide range
of options, including cables, connectors, colors, and
foot rests.
The typical industrial applications include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
ironing machines
construction machinery
sand blasting machines
bending machines
machine tools
medical equipment
Warning
Please see page 25 in reference to the warning that
applies to every application.
