3.3 S-Former E control unit with the STEINEL S-Former E control unit
The STEINEL S-Former E control unit was specially developed to be used with the S-Former E.
A control unit can be used to control up to four S-Former E units regardless of their size (E0, E1.1, E1.2, E3).
Each S-Former E can be individually parametrised, and the settings can be saved in programs. You can
therefore switch from one production series to the next without incurring a time delay. The multilingual
menu instructions and touch display allow all relevant menus to be navigated and provide all important
system information.
Information on the STEINEL S-Former E control unit can be found in our current
control unit manual. For additional information and ordering options, please go to:
