Pilot devices are mainly used in the commercial or industrial applications where human-to-machine interface is required. Typically used as a part of a system, automated process, or a control panel, these devices provide information on condition and control monitoring of different types of processes, machinery, and equipment.
Featuring a rugged, all-polyester construction, are UL listed and are rated Type 4/4X as standard for watertight and corrosion resistance. c3’s pilot devices are also listed for Type 1, 2, 3, 3R, 12 and 13 requirements. We’ve increased the range of our Multi-Voltage LED light unit to operate at any voltage from 20V to 277V AC or DC!
Pilot devices designed to provide exceptional performance and long electrical life through a wide range of switching capabilities. Each delivering easy installation, distinct functionality, and ensuring optimal performance and safety in the most demanding applications.
UL Listed, CSA certified and CE marked, our 30mm industrial pilot devices are suitable for use anywhere in the world. The product certifications and electrical ratings are clearly marked on the outside of the light units for easy reference during installation.
c3controls selects the highest quality raw materials to ensure our products outlast the competition, including Lexan™ plastic for our lenses―improving visibility and resistance to high impact for reliable performance, even in high ambient temperatures.
We’ve designed our 30mm emergency stop to perform reliably in the most demanding applications. Our devices feature a solid brass detent mechanism ensuring that when you hit the stop button in an emergency, it works.
Our state-of-the-art rubber boots are available in both Neoprene and Fluorosilicone, and protect the operators and the circuits behind them from harsh chemicals and climates.
Our revolutionary U-Cup seal is infused with a Teflon coating to eliminate cracking when exposed to harsh conditions and keeps water, oils, and dust away from the contact blocks.
With 4/4X and IP65 ratings, our 30mm line of pilot devices are built to last and withstand dust, corrosion, ice, and rain.
Our product certifications and electrical ratings are clearly marked on the outside of the contact blocks for easy reference during installation.
Manufactured with industrial grade plastics for strength and less weight, and we use metal where it matters. The tough polyester construction of our 30mm pilot devices provides electrical insulation, resists corrosion, and rejects moisture.
Still not sure? We offer free product samples for many of our products. No strings attached. We believe in our products and we think you will too, once you give them a try.
Merriam Webster defines a pilot light as, “2: an indicator light showing where a switch or circuit breaker is located or whether a motor is in operation or power is on.” While pilot devices are seemingly quite simple control, there is more to them than the definition provided by MW. They have their own terminologies, color coding, functions and standards. Find out about all of that and more in Industrial Control Basics Part 4 – Pilot Devices for Indication and Actuation.
Pilot devices, which are comprised of selector switches, pushbuttons, pilot lights, signal beacons, and toggle switches are mainly used in the commercial or industrial applications where human-to-machine interface is required. Based on their designs, pilot devices can be distinguished into two types – indication devices and actuation devices. Watch this video for an understanding of each type and their functions.
