Themis manual knob controls - Technical characteristics

The Elen Themis series throttle knob is an integrated manual control with a robust, compact mechanical structure and exclusive design.
Suitable for use on agricultural machinery and industrial vehicles, it can also operate in harsh conditions, i.e. in working environments subject to strong vibration and exposure to external agents. The operating principle is based on a Hall sensor integrated in the base, which detects the field intensity of a magnet integrated in the knob and provides an output proportional to the angle of rotation.
The Themis knob is supplied with a standard knob, alternatively the component can be customised and take on different shapes to be specifically designed as a custom component.

PROGRAMMABLE ELECTRONICS

- Supply voltage: 5 V; 10-30V
- Output signal: single, double, voltage, current, PWM and CAN BUS (SAE J1939)
- Configurable output (for each channel) in the ranges: 0-5V, 0-10V , 4-20mA, % duty cycle and CAN message

MECHANICS

- Friction control
- Compact and space-saving solution
- Structure in plastic material
- Standard variant with knob
- Knob available in black or orange RAL 2004 (typical for agricultural applications)
- Knob/handle customizable in shape and design
- Sober design, without silk-screen printing: suitable when it is preferable to create a personal design on the customer's side
- Mechanical stroke: 180° (±90°)
- Versions available with or without return spring
- Customizable cable and connector length

RELIABILITY

'- Contactless Hall effect
- IP67 protection rating
- Immunity to vibrations and electromagnetic disturbances
- Operating temperature: -40°/+ 85°
- Protections from ESD, Load-dump, overvoltage, polarity reversal, short circuit on output

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY

- Signal redundancy thanks to the integration of isolated and galvanically distinct circuits (double output version)

Mechanical configurations

The control consists of a base (containing the electronics) and a knob (customisable). Flush mounting is required (only the knob protrudes) with vertical space under the mounting surface.
