Wireless and “batteryless” push buttons give plant personnel maximum freedom and mobility in applications where personnel and equipment rarely stay stationary, such as conveyance machines, palletizers, and bottling machines in food and beverage applications.
The Harmony XB5R offers:
*Enhanced mobility and protection – As the wireless signals can be passed through doors, walls and floors, the operator can now remotely control machines at a distance of up to 25 meters. Equipment operators have the added option to send a one-time radio message to one or multiple receivers, or sync up to 32 push buttons with one receiver.
*Continuous operation and a greener environment – The battery-less solution offers permanent availability, contributes to a greener environment and eliminates the need for battery maintenance, re-charging and re-loading, and recycling costs.
*20% savings on installation costs as compared to traditional wired solutions – The wireless technology featured in the Harmony XB5R eliminates cable and associated accessories between the pushbutton and the electrical cabinet.
