Moeller Shines New Light on Pushbuttons and Selector Switches
![[picture of Titan devices]](images/titan.jpg)
Titan –
the very latest in command and signalling devices
Employing LED technology rather than filament bulbs for illumination, the new Titan range of pushbuttons and selector switches is available in a wide range of colours and styles. They are not only brighter, more resilient and more pleasing on the eye than previous designs but, unlike the competition, are also very easy to handle and install.
Part of Moeller's popular RMQ Titan family, which takes its name from the titanium-coloured front ring, is ergonomically designed with actuator elements specifically shaped to the curve of the fingertip. Titan is very competitively priced and provides a full and comprehensive range of device types including pushbuttons and selector switches, with or without illumination; key-operated actuators and emergency-stop switches. The new illuminated emergency-stop pushbutton can be used in conjunction with the new buzzer to further improve safety in the workplace.
In the illuminated devices, specially designed lenses in the indicator lights ensure optimum brightness. The replacement of filament bulbs with the latest LED technology reduces current consumption and heat dissipation while increasing resistance to vibration and greatly extending lifespan. At over 100,000 hours LEDs have significantly longer working lives than fragile bulbs yet cost no more.
Titan is very flexible; for example, all 'stay-put' pushbutton actuators can be converted to 'spring-return' simply by moving a metal ring on the side of the device. This unique feature is extremely useful if an inching function is required during machine commissioning, but where the actuator is later required to stay-put in normal operation.
Titan is also very versatile giving designers a huge variety of mounting configurations. Fitting into a standard 22mm mounting hole, up to six contact elements can now be snap-fitted in two layers behind the front panel. Actuating elements are flatter than before thus allowing overall mounting depth to be reduced. Three mounting forms are available: flush mounting, surface mounting and rear mounting.
All button plates, indicator lights and pushbutton legend plates in the Titan range can be laser-inscribed with any text or symbol the customer requires. Being burnt-into the surface these legends are very durable and remain for the lifetime of the device.
Titan is extremely rugged. Its IP66 protection rating and extended operating temperature range mean it can be used in some of the harshest industrial environments. It has been developed for use around the world and complies with a host of international standards and regulations including IEC/EN 60947. It is CE marked and UL compliant.
