General Data
Ambient temperature: from -25°C to +80°C, Max operating frequency: 3600 operations cycles/hour
Devices: Safety Lever
The safety lever prevents the pedal actuator from lowering when the foot is not completely inserted, thus preventing casual or accidental actuation.
The foot must be completely inserted in order to lower the safety lever and push down the pedal actuator.
Devices: Lock of the Pedal Actuator
Insertion of the foot in the foot switch.
Pushing down the pedal actuator, the contact switches and the device locks the actuator.
Releasing the pedal actuator, the lock device keeps it down.
To unlock the pedal actuator, push the locking device.
With drawing the foot from the foot switch, the pedal actuator and the contacts return to their initial positions.
Devices: Actuating Force in 2 Stages
PX foot switches with two overlapped snap action contact blocks (2x 1NO+1NC), two steps actuation force and safety lever.
With a light pressure (- 19 N) on the pedal actuator, the first contact block switches while the second keeps its state. The pedal actuator stops at pressure point.
Pushing down with higher force (- 180 N) on the pedal actuator, the second contact block switches as well. In this position both contact blocks have been switched.
