How This Unit Is Made
Step 1
Buttons and contacts are assembled on a dedicated production line with mechanical interlock testing
Step 2
Housing is injection molded and inspected for defects before assembly
Step 3
All units are tested under rated voltage and current to verify contact performance
Step 4
Each pendant is function tested with simulated hoist control signals before packing
Step 5
Labeling and branding applied per order, including custom text and logos on OEM units
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- Raw materials inspected upon receipt for consistency and compliance
- In-process checks at each stage of assembly, including button alignment and interlock function
- Final functional test on every unit under 500VAC and 5A load
- Visual inspection of housing, wiring, and labeling before packing
- 12 month warranty from delivery with full support for defective units
What Can Be Changed On Your Order
- Custom brand and logo printing accepted on OEM orders
- Button count from 2 to 16 available across AR1-C, XAC, Y, F and H series

- Cable length and strain relief type can be specified for special applications
How It Compares With The Alternatives
| Wired pendant with exposed cable | The AR1-65CD has a strain relief and durable housing, reducing cable damage and failure in high-use environments |
|---|---|
| F24-8D radio remote control | The pendant offers direct control without batteries or frequency pairing; radio control adds mobility but requires receiver installation and power |
| XAC series pendant (Schneider model) | The AR1-65CD is a direct replacement for XAC series units with same mounting and wiring, but offers more button options and lower MOQ |
Getting It Onto The Machine
- Confirm the control voltage and current rating on the hoist panel before ordering
- Check the number of motions needed and select the button count accordingly
- Mount the pendant securely with strain relief to prevent cable pull damage
- Replace the unit if the housing cracks or contacts fail under load
