Material handling experts cite a number of reasons why industrial infrared remote controls may actually be better than radio. The first reaseon being that because the infrared method works by transmitting a beam of light, the operator must be in full view of the equipment he or she is operating. Once they are out of sight the beam is obstructed and the controls turns off. This is an addes safety factor, as the operator's full ability to see and assess the situation is critical.
The Ultrabeam Industrial Infrared controls have proven to be among the most durable remtoe controls ever produced wth many units operating in the harshest environments for over 15 years without fail.
They offer a particular advantage over any radio system in that they require direct line of sight to operate. This is particularly important where accidental operation could cause an undesirable effect and compromise safety.
Ultrabeam Infrared systems are among the highest power infrared units available, offering up to 30 metres operation in direct sunlight.
