FM
SERIES
The FM series foot switches are ideal for light or
medium duty applications and especially medical
applications. The compact, sturdy but small, ABS
housing is designed to meet all the different contact and
switch insert configurations.
This series has many features, such as maintained and
two stage momentary contacts, two different colors, and
two protection levels. It also offers a variety of flexibility
and alternatives already in the standard versions. The
wide range of options include:
•
Protection levels IP 68 (Medical versions
IEC 601-1 certified)
•
Especially designed gold plated
contacts for low current
•
High current switch inserts
•
Different cable entries/strain reliefs
•
Other cable versions, with shield
•
Custom colors for the guard,
custom connectors.
The standard and optional features together provide
various application possibilities:
Foot switches are typically used when hands-free
operation is required or when the hands are needed to
perform a separate task while the machine or device
must be started or stopped,
or the machine requires manipulation in other ways.
Application examples would be:
•
•
•
•
Conveyor belt in supermarket
Sewing machine in textile factory
Control of dentistry tools
Operation of logical or digital signals

Please see page 25 in reference to the warning that
applies to every application.
