Ares


The ARES are extremely compact transmitter designed for applications requiring limited amount of digital and analog functions operated by toggle switches, pushbuttons, rotary switches and potentiometers such as forestry winches, pumps and many other machinery. ARES put great attention to the easiness of use, including the situations in which the operator wears gloves, thanks to the well dimensioned command actuators and their rational spacing. For portability, the housing is equipped with a robust belt-clip. ARES C features a STOP command in the category PLe/CAT2 (ISO 13849:1), SIL1 (IEC 62061) while in ARES E in the category PLe/CAT4 (ISO 13849:1), SIL3 (IEC 62061) and it can be combined with any of the IMET receivers, for delivering on/off, proportional or CAN outputs according to the machine specications. ARES housing has been designed to operate in the most demanding sectors as indicates the Ip65 protection degree.
