    Instantly cut power when obstacles or distance make it hard to reach your machine in time. Whether it’s a jammed conveyor or a remotely operated forklift, these switches let you shut down with a single push—no need to navigate around a crowded shop floor. Install surface-mount switches to workstations and other easy-to-access spots or carry portable switches around with you so you can stop a machine no matter where you are. They communicate wirelessly with a receiver (sold separately) that’s hardwired to your machine. Stop multiple machines with one switch, set multiple switches to stop one machine, or anything in between.

    900 MHz Transmission Frequency—900 MHz switches are compatible with frequencies found in U.S. systems. These switches can be used in combinations of six. For example, you could set one switch to control five machines.
    2.4 GHz Transmission Frequency—2.4 GHz switches are compatible with frequencies found in European systems. These switches can be used in combinations of 10. For example, you could pair four switches with six receivers or eight switches with two receivers.
    IEC 61508 SIL2 and ISO 13849-1—Switches that meet IEC 61508 SIL2 and ISO 13849-1 comply with safety requirements for emergency stop applications.

    As soon as you take your thumb off the button, these switches wirelessly signal a receiver to cut power to your machine. Also known as deadman switches. Use them when you need to override safety controls to program or service a machine. They’re often used to troubleshoot issues in a robot's working area.
    Portable
    900 MHz Transmission Frequency—900 MHz switches can be used in any combination of six. Stop multiple machines with one switch, set multiple switches to stop one machine, or anything in between. If you link multiple switches to one receiver, your machine will stop if just one person takes their thumb off their switch. These switches are compatible with frequencies found in U.S. systems.
    2.4 GHz Transmission Frequency—2.4 GHz switches control up to nine machines if paired with nine receivers. These switches are compatible with frequencies found in European systems.
