Wireless Pendant Switches
Operate equipment from up to 330 feet away—these switches include a transmitter and a receiver that connects to equipment. Use up to 45 wireless switches in the same area. They're rated IP65 for protection from washdowns.
Two-speed switches have staged contacts. For slow speed, press the button halfway down to close the first contact. For high speed, push it all the way to close the second contact.
Switches that cannot be sold to Canada are restricted by product labeling requirements.
Replace worn stickers or change the function of a button with labels. Packs include commonly used functions such as up, down, start, and stop.
To Order: For existing systems, please advise which channels are currently in use so that a different channel can be provided. For the replacement transmitter, please specify the serial number.

Compact Wireless Pendant Switches
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Control machinery such as cranes, hoists, or trolleys with a wireless switch. About the size of a cell phone, these switches fit in the palm of your hand. Wireless control frees you to move around, up to 165 ft. away, without cords getting tangled. Program the buttons to move, start, and stop your machinery.
Choose a receiver (sold separately) with enough circuits for the number of buttons on the switch.
Apply labels (sold separately) to the buttons to identify their function.

Wireless Self-Powered Pendant Switches
Never worry about your pendant switch losing power. These pendant switches generate enough power from pushing the button to send a signal to a receiver (sold separately) up to 330 feet away. Since they operate equipment without requiring wires back to your control panel, they’re often used for retrofit or temporary installations. Connect up to eight pendant switches to one receiver. The switches come in different colors to help operators quickly identify them.
