Honeywell Wireless Single Switch Adapter (WLS-SSA Series)

April 16, 2013

Logo.jpg

Honeywell’s Limitless™ product line uses the latest commercial off-the-shelf wireless technology and is now expanding the WLS Series to convert almost any electromechanical switch with low-energy contacts (i.e., gold) into a wireless switch. A user-supplied electromechanical switch is simply wired to the WLS Series Single Switch Adapter via the internal or external connections to then become a wireless-enabled switch for use with the Limitless™ WPMM or WDRR Series of monitors/receivers. The Limitless™ Single Switch Adapter can be used in a variety of industrial wireless limit switch applications such as reed, contact, pressure, door actuator, etc.

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.
