This innovative touch “button” when powered, is illuminated by a green led ring highlighting the button and shows positive operation by changing colour to red when the output is operational.

Switching 200mA means it can switch relays or into a PLC style system with ease and follows the EN60947-5-2 standard. EMAS manufacture this in both, cable or M12 versions and stocked in the UK.

This product is driven from customer requests for a hi-tech button with IP67 and with no moving parts to jam, self-calibrating, with visual feedback that also includes Auto drift compensation, short circuit protection, and low power requirements.

Applications for this can range from control panels, lift equipment, medical, including food industries and consumer styled products, and many more.

What makes it better?:

• Self-calibration
• Noise filtering
• Auto drift compensation
• Visual feedback
• Short circuit protection
• Long life thanks to the absence of any moving mechanical components
• Low power consumption
• Connection with cable or m12 connector
• High resolution capacitive sensing
• IP67

Switching Currents: 200mA

Standards: EN 60947-5-2 (Low – voltage switchgear and controlgear – Part 5–2: Control circuits devices and switching elements – Proximity switches)

Applications:

• Indoor applications
• Industrial applications
• Control panels
• Food industry
• White goods
• Medical equipment
• Elevator control panels

Why we made it:

• Necessity of elegant and luxury button for Hi Tech products
• IP67
• No mechanical operation, independent from spring strength
