Radio control AJE Ex

with buttonsjoystickwith configurable buttons

Overview
AJE Ex is the largest transmitter unit of the Ex series designed for safe remote control of machines operating in potentially explosive atmospheres. Developed for complex industrial applications, it integrates functional safety, ergonomic controls and robust environmental protection.

Applications

• Intended for ATEX gas and dust areas: Zone 1, Zone 21, Zone 2 and Zone 22.
• Suitable for mining applications in category M1, where remote control must provide consistent performance under harsh environmental conditions.

Main features

• Safety: stop (GSS/EMS) and automatic stop (ATS) up to PL d, SIL 2 (EN ISO 13849-1).
• Radio: 870/915 MHz FHSS; typical working range 100 m (330 ft).
• Configurable controls: up to 3 multi-axis joysticks, 20 actuators and 10 side pushbuttons.
• Power: 3.7 VDC supply; two extractable Li‑Ion batteries; autonomy without display 20 h, with display 8 h (continuous use at 20°C).
• Environmental protection: IP65 (NEMA 4); operating temperature -20 °C to +60 °C; storage -40 °C to +70 °C.

Options

• Vision system
  4.3" TFT LCD (480×270 px, 65,536 colors) with high brightness for outdoor readability. Programmable via AUTEC STUDIO. 8 interaction buttons; optional encoder for navigation.
• Marine protection
  Corrosion-proof components and solvent treatment to resist salt and humidity in maritime environments.
