Pendant line offers quick installation

We have introduced our new and exciting line of 800FC Pendant Stations, designed for quick and easy installation.
This new pendant line utilises the same time-saving benefits found in our Bulletin 800F 22.5 mm push buttons, helping users to maximize efficiency with quick installation. Multiple options and customizations are available to fit unique application needs.

800FC Pendant Stations utilise the standard 800F operators and contact blocks, allowing distributors to minimize their inventory. Wiring time can be drastically reduced as contact blocks have been spaced for using 1492 jumpers. 800FC Pendant Station enclosures are available with 3, 5, 7, or 9-holes, giving customers with the ability to have up to 18 functions within one pendant when using multi-operator devices. All pendants meet IP65/66, NEMA Type4/4X/13 degree of protection rating.

New 1-, 2- and 3-speed operators have been released for use with the pendants and feature the same high quality design of our existing 800F 22.5mm Push Button line. A new mechanical interlock latch for use with the 1-, 2- and 3-Speed operators allows for optional protection against inadvertent operation. Mechanical interlock prevents two functions [e.g. Up/Down] to be pushed at the same time and prevents the system from unwanted actions and potential damage.

Additionally, there is electrical interlock capability for the 1- and 2-speed operators simply by wiring an additional N.C. contact block to each operator/function. The operators are marked with standard symbols and text using epoxy pad printing or two color molded technology. Legend plates designed for pendant enclosures offer standard and custom engraving options.

800FC Pendant Stations represent an ideal solution for a large variety of applications. Pendants are typically found in hoists, overhand cranes and remote/portable control stations.
