VM-Series

Product Type:

Multiplexed Operator Control Module

Description:

The VM-Series is a multiplexed operator control module ideal for the Construction, Agriculture and Commercial vehicles. Rugged and sealed to IP68, these multiplex switches can be used in open or closed cab environments and connect to industry standard SAE J1939 CAN Bus protocol. 

Multiplex switches reduce the complexity and cost of traditional wire harnesses, increase product life and reliability, and improve assembly efficiencies.

The VM-Series was developed in conjunction with the globally successful Carling Contura® family of switches, providing the look and feel of our traditional rocker switches, but offering the benefits of a multiplexed product. It is available in either a 3 pod or 6 pod configuration.
