Emergency Stop buttons have embedded LEDs

Emergency Stop pushbutton stations have the face of the pushbutton illuminated - when the emergency stop station is in normal status the LED's illuminate green, or red if activated.
Jokab Safety have launched a new range of emergency stop pushbutton stations. The SMILE range has six different models which allow the user to connect to either conventional safety relays or Jokab Safety's cost saving Vital system. There are two models with cable connection, two models with one M12 connector and the final two models have two M12 connectors for 'daisy chain' connections.
The enclosure has been reduced to save on space when installing the stations and they are excellent for mounting on aluminium and steel guard fencing.
The main unique feature is the face of the pushbutton is can be illuminated.
When the emergency stop station is in normal status the LEDs will illuminate green, if the e-stop is activated the LEDs will change to red on the station that has been activated.
This means that it is easy to identify which station has been activated.
The E-stop stations can be connected in various ways in order to meet the user's safety requirements.
