Digital System Switch — Black, Left/Right Buttons

HARKEN YACHT FITTINGS Digital System Switch — Black, Left/Right Buttons

Harken Digital System Switches set the standard for the reliable operation of electrically-powered yacht systems. To accomplish this, safeguards have been built into each switch. The waterproof control button translates electrical information into a binary code that won't allow the system to start without the signals being verified by the decoder. This digital approach is fundamentally safer than analog switches, which send continuous electrical signals directly to powered devices—a short circuit, wiring damage, or water ingress could result in unintended activation with possible boat damage.

Watertight seals are never exposed, eliminating potential damage from sun and prolonged use. Underneath each control button, two command switches must work in unison before a signal is sent, preventing the system from activating when no one has pressed the button. Harken Digital System Switches resist impact, wear, and abrasion. A unique adhesive mounting system is available where drilling is undesirable. The product is offered in black polyamide resin or stainless steel. Integrated lighting provides high-contrast symbols and backlighting for around-the-clock visibility.
