Honeywell Wireless Heavy Duty Limit Switch (WLS Series)

The new Honeywell Limitless™ product line combines the best of MICRO SWITCH™ Heavy Duty limit switches with the latest commercial off-the-shelf wireless technology. Wireless- enabled limit switches can be used for position sensing and presence/absence detection for an endless number of applications.

The Limitless™ Series is especially beneficial for remote monitoring applications where wiring or wire maintenance is not physically possible or economically feasible. Combining this greater flexibility with proven harsh duty packaging can result in increased efficiencies and improved safety for machines, equipment, OEMs, and operators.
