EAO offers brighter future for industrial equipment

A new pushbutton which emits an eye-catching halo-effect glow is now available from EAO, the experts for Human Machine Interfaces.

The Series 84 ‘halo illumination’ pushbutton offers a fresh design for industrial applications. The high-visibility glow creates a more effective interface that attracts attention to a primary function - an on/off switch, for instance.

Light is emitted around the edges of a raised aluminium lens by a 3mm single LED. Both the lens and LED are available in different colours, including white, blue and green. 

The durable build makes it suitable for a variety of industrial applications, especially those in poorly-lit areas, such as ticket issuing machines in car parks, or for stop-request buttons on public transportation vehicles. The IP67 seal makes it equally suitable for medical equipment that must be frequently washed down or even marine applications.

EAO’s Series 84 is a modular pushbutton system of lenses, actuator elements and switching elements designed for a standard 22.5mm cut out.

Short-travel switching system with two independent contact points ensures pleasing tactile operation and guarantees reliable switching, even of extremely light loads. The range has a maximum rating of 42VAC/DC, 100mA.
