Step into the future: Linemaster’s wireless foot switches offer control in tough conditions

Linemaster wireless foot switches

For an unmatched selection of electric foot switches, businesses count on Linemaster Switch Corporation. For instance, the manufacturer offers a line of wireless foot switches, which are innovative solutions that work via radio technology. They also remove the clutter of wires underfoot, which can be a serious distraction for workers.

Linemaster makes six Hercules wireless switches, all of which are dust-tight, drip-tight, watertight, and oil-tight. This means that these Hercules models work for numerous applications.

The three standard models

The company manufactures three standard models of wireless foot switches, as well as three with handles; each of the standard switches has a heavy-duty, weather-resistant construction for challenging work environments and comes with up to three switch functions. Customers may use multiple systems in the same vicinity at once. Each of the three Hercules switches has a 40-foot range of radio-frequency transmission, and the transmitter operates on three AA batteries, with 700 hours of battery life at 50 per cent duty cycle. The three standard models provide a choice between SPDT, DPDT, or TPDT circuitry. Among the other benefits of Linemaster’s wireless foot switches:

• 15 channels available, ranging from 2.405 to 2.48 gigahertz
• full submersible quality in water
• IP68 rating
• IPX1 protection degree for the receiver
• momentary actuation contacts – single-pole or double-throw, with up to 10 amps of service
• neoprene cover gasket, plus O-rings on the activating shaft and separate ground crew
• rugged cast-metal enclosure, with enough weight to prevent sliding of the switch
• three holes provided for rigid mounting to equipment or the floor

The same circuitry choices are also available with the three wireless foot switches with handles; so are the general features and advantages. These devices work for dozens of relevant applications, from material handling and food processing to sawmills, sewer cleaning, surgery, oil drilling, punching, and even space shuttles.

These Linemaster wireless foot switches are fully compliant with the strict safety standards of several international organizations, like Underwriters Laboratories in the United States, Conformité Européenne in Europe, and the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive.
