Switches
Introduction
Manufactured
from
Stainless Steel,
Bulgin’s
extensive range
of vandal resistant security
switches are designed with a
high resistance
to wear and tear, corrosion and harsh use in
potentially hostile environments such as access
control applications.
The front and rear panel mounted versions have three profiles –prominent, domed and low profile – with a choice
of switching and IP66 & IP68 front panel sealing which combined together to meet the ergonomic, electrical and
environmental demands of switch panel design.
And where the ultimate strength of steel is not needed, there is a brass, chrome plated alternative. The low profile
style switches are now also available with a latching, push on - push off, action.
The illuminated versions are available in dot and ring LED indication and a variety of illumination colours including
bi-colour LED’s. Newer versions also feature LED illumination driven by 6V, 12V & 24V together with rear of panel
sealing, these options will add that extra dimension to control panel layouts and functionality.
