  • Great question! Having a push button switch on the joystick brings several advantages. Firstly, it provides additional functionality for the operator or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). The buttons can be utilized to control critical functions, making the joystick even more versatile and convenient to use. Furthermore, these buttons can be effectively employed to enable or disable joysticks, offering enhanced control and customization options. Overall, the inclusion of a push button switch on the joystick adds extra value and flexibility for both the user and the manufacturer.

  • Absolutely. Aarcomm's displays are designed with MiP (Memory in Pixel) technology, which makes them partially reflective and perfectly suited for use in bright, direct sunlight. MiP technology ensures that each pixel retains its image, making the displays highly readable and maintaining excellent visibility even in the sunniest of conditions. You can confidently enjoy clear visibility and legibility without worrying about any washout in bright sunlight. As an added bonus, the displays are also really low power which makes that battery last much longer than other non-reflective technology.

Wireless Kill Switches

  • Great question! This kill switch offers a truly hands-free experience by eliminating the need for gripping, squeezing, turning, or holding. Instead, all you need to do is press a button, and you're good to go. Plus, for added safety, if you inadvertently make an unsafe motion, the function will be automatically paused or stopped, ensuring your well-being. Enjoy the convenience and peace of mind knowing that you can activate the switch effortlessly without any manual effort required!

  • Installing a wireless kill switch is a great way to enhance safety and control over your equipment. You have three options to consider for installation:

    Standalone Control: The wireless kill switch can be directly wired into any piece of equipment, allowing you to have independent control over its operation. This option provides a simple and reliable solution for activating or deactivating the kill switch whenever you need.

    Integration with Existing Remote Control: If you already have a remote control system, you can easily integrate the wireless kill switch by wiring it in series. This integration allows you to conveniently enable or disable the kill switch in addition to using your existing remote control. You won't need to worry about navigating any additional configuration mode.

    Addition to any Aarcomm System: For those who have an Aarcomm remote control system, you can choose to add the wireless kill switch as an optional feature. This integration ensures a seamless and harmonious connection between the two components. By enabling or disabling the kill switch through the configuration mode, you can effortlessly incorporate this additional functionality into your existing Aarcomm system.

    Consider the option that aligns best with your specific needs and enjoy the added safety and control provided by a wireless kill switch.
