RF 99 – A rock in a storm

The wireless position switch for reliable outdoor use in rough industrial environments

Rain, dust, fluctuating temperatures and inaccessible plant areas all make high demands on position monitoring. The RF 99 has been developed especially for use in industrial environments exposed to all weathers and facilitates reliable signal transmission, without the need for costly and laborious cabling.

Highly resilient and with its tried-and-tested wireless technology, the RF 99 is a reliable solution for outdoor position monitoring. Positions can be safely monitored on conveyor systems, in handling plants and machines, even in complex and challenging environments.

Your challenging outdoor applications

Outdoor plants and heavy-duty applications make high demands on position monitoring:

  • High wear and tear and cable strain in exposed areas
  • Costly and laborious cabling over long distances
  • Reliable operation despite damp, dust and adverse weather conditions
  • Complicated installation in inaccessible areasHigh maintenance due to damaged or worn cables
  • High maintenance due to damaged or worn cables

The RF 99, a robust wireless solution for position monitoring, is now available. It has been developed especially for complex and challenging heavy-duty applications and facilitates reliable operation while requiring far less cabling and maintenance.

Your benefits at a glance

 
Robust outdoor enclosure

Reliable protection in complex and challenging locations

A robust enclosure guarantees reliable protection for the wireless technology, even in complex and challenging conditions. Ideal for conveyor systems, machines and outdoor areas. Additional protective measures, such as control cabinets or additional housings are often no longer needed.

High protection class

Safe protection from dust, water and cleaning

Thanks to high protections classes up to IP69, the wireless and switching technologies remain reliably protected, even in adverse conditions. This reduces downtimes due to damp or dirt, and permanently reduces maintenance and replacement work.

Extensive temperature range

Functions reliably in all climates

Developed for temperatures from −25°C to +70°C, the wireless position switch is equally suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. This means maximum flexibility for installation and safe operation, even in extremely fluctuating temperatures.

High resistance to damp

Safe operation even with condensation

Designed for humidity levels between 4% and 100%, the system is also suitable for damp environments and areas prone to condensation. This increases operational safety and reduces the risk of unplanned downtimes.

Tried-and-tested wireless technology

Simple integration in existing systems

Compatibility with existing steute receivers facilitates rapid integration in existing applications. Wireless systems already installed can easily be expanded. The intelligent and stable wireless communication ensures reliable performance.

Long wireless range

Bridging long distances without cables

The system facilitates a reliable bridging of long distances and thus high flexibility when positioning components. In many applications, the cost and effort of additional cabling can be considerably reduced.

Replaceable batteries

Simple maintenance instead of device replacement

The lithium battery can be changed on site using standard tools. This lengthens the lifetime of the device, lowers maintenance costs and reduces downtimes for servicing and maintenance.

Modular service structure

Rapid repairs and simple maintenance

Battery, cover, actuator and switch insert are all individually replaceable. This means that complete devices do not need to be replaced in the event of any damage or wear and tear, saving costs and increasing system availability.

Standardised design

Simple to integrate and update

The design to EN 50041 offers standardised dimensions for installation, mounting and screwing. This makes existing position switches easy to replace. Ideal for retrofit projects and updating existing plants.

Reduced cabling

Faster to install, more efficient to retrofit

Signal transmission is completely wireless, rendering supply cables and signal cables at the assembly point superfluous. This reduces costs for installation and initial operation, and is particularly advantageous for plant areas which are difficult to access or have moving parts.

The outdoor specialist for wireless position monitoring

Robust enclosure, high protection classes, tried-and-tested wireless technology and maximum installation flexibility: the RF 99 has been designed to work reliably where other solutions reach their limits.
