The MR386 Fiber Optic Microswitch paired with the MR380-1-3 Controller provides a new,
innovative signaling detection that can be deployed in difficult, hazardous environments and over
very long distances. The Microswitch employs a photo interrupt scheme operating over a duplex
62.5/125μm fiber optic link that allows for reliable signal detection. This provides the same
mechanical attributes typically associated with ubiquitous electrical microswitches. It has
mechanical tactile feedback when the switch toggles – essential when precise switching points
need to be set.
