Switch BOX

Product Structure

Since multiple switches are combined as a single unit, this product has a space-saving design.
It can also show different appearances using multi-colored LED lights and dimming control signals.

Features

Different appearances using LED lights

• The three indicators (the GNSS^* indicator and indicators of the A/B switches) come on in two different colors (red or green). Each color shows the state of the relevant switches.
• The indicator of the AUTO switch surrounds the entire circumference of the switch, and comes on in green. It also comes on in a different pattern according to the lighting control signal.
• The indicators use a high-intensity LED light. Therefore, the operator can visually confirm that the switches are turned to "On" or "Off" even outdoors.

※GNSS … Global Navigation Satellite System

Waterproofness

• The product has a built-in connector so that the connecting portion can be waterproof at low costs.
• The product is covered with rubber material. This prevents water, mud, or other contaminants from entering the PCB.

Signal transmission via a CAN bus

• A CAN bus communication system is used for signal transmission, minimizing the need for wiring connections.
• Due to a high baud rate, the system can smoothly transmit LED lighting control signals or signals regarding the state of the switches.

Operability

• The switches are designed so as to ensure an optimum operation feeling. The operation force is set so that the switches can be pressed easily, as well as providing a good tactile response.
