EPM Series Sealed Pushbutton Switches
meet high-performance needs for rug-
ged, compact size sealed switches that
are exposed to water, oil, cleaning sol-
vents, and many industrial chemicals.
They provide long, reliable operating life
under conditions of high shock and
vibration in severe environment applica-
tions.
Inadditiontobeingbuilttostanduptode-
manding environments, EPM switches
adheretogoodhumanfactorsprinciples.
Thedesign combineslowtravelwithhigh
tactile feedback and meets arctic glove
requirements. Raised barriers on the be-
zel enhance finger positioning and help
prevent inadvertent operation of two
abutting units at one push. Lighted dis-
play options provide further application
versatility.
LED ILLUMINATION
Long-life LEDs enable reliable illumina-
tion. They resist effects of shock and vi-
bration, reducing service and mainte-
nance requirements. (Unlighted versions
are also available.)
The following lighting functions can be
furnished: High-intensity display using
two LEDs to create a brilliant light signal
that can be distinguished under high am-
bient conditions, and/or a pair of LEDs
whichsoftlybacklightthelegendforview-
ing under low ambient conditions.
There is a choice of red, green or yellow
LEDs.Matchingindicators,whichprovide
lighted display only, complement the
switches to help present a uniform panel
design.
ELECTRICAL FLEXIBILITY
EPM switches can be furnished with one
or two SPDT basics. EPM22 electronic
control switches handle up to 1 amp,
EPM32 power duty switches up to 7
amps.
EASY TO INSTALL
Front panel hard-mounting is quick and
