Wireless Self-Powered Foot Switches
Send signals to equipment up to 130 feet away. Because these foot switches are self-powered, they eliminate the clutter of wires and the fuss of batteries. Connect up to 40 switches to one receiver to set up an automation system that spans your whole facility.
These switches meet EN 60947-5-1, a European safety standard for switches.
Orange switches are easy to spot, reducing the risk you might trip on them.

Dual-Operator Safety Switches

To prevent accidents, these switches won’t let your machine start running unless two people in different locations coordinate control. This is useful for large operations where it would be difficult to hear or see someone call for power to be cut. They come with two foot switches that communicate wirelessly—both need to be pressed at the same time for your machine to run. For example, if used with a machine that pulls wire up a building through conduit, this means that two people dozens of floors apart can each stop the machine by releasing their foot. As an extra precaution, give the included pendant switches to people walking around your operation. If they see a problem, the pendant switches shut power off with a push of a button, even if the foot switches are pressed.
The foot switches work up to 3.7 miles away from each other if there’s a clear line of sight between the two. If there are walls or other obstacles, they work up to 1,500 ft. away from each other. Plug your equipment into the receiver foot switch before plugging the switch into an outlet—no wiring is required.
