    Rated NEMA 13, these potentiometers protect against debris and splashing oil and coolant. Also known as variable output switches, they vary electrical flow to control speed, volume, and light intensity.
    NEMA 4X Enclosure Rating—NEMA 4X rated potentiometers withstand weather, washdowns, and corrosion.
    NEMA 6 Enclosure Rating—NEMA 6 potentiometers seal out water from temporary submersion as well as weather and washdowns.

    Programmable Potentiometers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Potentiometers. Programmable Potentiometers.
    For quick, repeatable adjustments to electronic equipment, these potentiometers adjust and save electrical settings. They’re typically used to control speed, volume, or light intensity. For example, if a conveyor needs different speeds for different tasks, you can program each speed into them. Set the digital display to show the specific measurement unit for your application, such as motor rpm.
    Install them in a standard 1/8 DIN panel cutout. They’re NEMA 4X rated to resist corrosion, washdowns, and weather.

    When the pedal is pressed, the built-in potentiometer adjusts the resistance to vary the speed for motor drives. These switches can be wired to either increase or decrease the current when actuated. All are rated NEMA 4 and 13 for protection from washdowns and oil/coolant spraying.

    Fixture-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Light Switch Sensors. Fixture-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls.
    Detect motion near your light fixture to turn lights on and off. Compared to switch-mount motion controls that detect from a single wall, these controls have a better view of the entire space since they sense motion from above. Also known as occupancy sensors, these controls have an infrared sensor that activates when it detects a change in heat. To work properly, they need an unobstructed view of your space. All have a time delay to turn lights off after a set time. Rated IP65, these controls are protected from washdowns.
    These light controls monitor motion in a full circle for coverage in all directions.
    Half-circle sensing lenses are best for concentrating coverage to a certain part of a room, such as a workstation or an entrance.
    Narrow sensing lenses are best for the end of aisles in spaces with high ceilings like those in warehouses and factories.
    7,690 ft² Area Coverage—Those that cover 7,690 sq. ft. have lenses that can be swapped out to limit where they sense.
