Schneider Electric Harmony XB5R Wireless/Batteryless Push Button Video

Utilizing wireless technology, the Harmony™ XB5R Wireless, Batteryless push button is easy to install in both new and existing applications, such as bottling, packaging, and conveying lines. Now, you no longer need to pass a cable through the machine structure or cable tray to connect the push button to the electrical panel — cutting installation costs by 20% as compared to traditional wired solutions.

When the operator pushes the button, mechanical energy is transformed into electrical energy, which sends a one-time radio message to the receiver. The batteryless solution offers permanent availability, benefits the environment, and eliminates costly battery maintenance, re-charging and recycling.

The wireless technology helps to achieve greater productivity by providing operators with greater freedom and mobility, allowing them to remotely control machines at a distance of up to 25 meters away in a metal cabinet. Similar to other Harmony products, the wireless, batteryless push button is well-suited for harsh industrial environments where added protection of your people and machines is paramount.
