1000 SERIES - MICROSWITCH JOYSTICKS
 
 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1000 Series is a versatile range of low cost switch joysticks and is ideal for light to medium duty environments where 
proportional control is not a necessity. Configurable with either single or double pole switching, the 1000 Series can also 
be specified as screw or bush mounted.
The joystick construction is determined by the switches employed. There are two possible construction options, based on the 
use of either V3 or V4 switches. V4 switches may be specified with 6A or 10A operation, yielding a smaller joystick than the 
construction employed for V3 switches which yields up to 16A operation.
SWITCHES
Three switch options are specified as standard. All are configured with change-over contacts, allowing the user
flexibility of connection.
V4 - 6A/240V AC should be specified where the joystick will be switching smaller current levels. These switches are supplied 
with gold flash terminals to ensure reliable switching at very low current levels.
V4 - 10A/240V AC should be specified where the joystick will be switching larger current levels.
V3 - 16A/240V AC should be specified where the joystick will be switching even greater current levels.
Note: The construction of the joystick employing V3 switches is not available with as many configuration options.
Life and reliability of the switches is heavily determined by the type of application and parameters such as load. The Apem 
sales team will be happy to provide further advice about the expected switch performance under differing loads or DC supplies. 
MECHANICAL OPERATION
All 1000 Series are supplied with an open square gate. As a standard option the joystick may be supplied with an additional
limiter set, that allows the customer to retro-fit limiters to reduce the travel to single axis(-), cross (+) or diagonal (X) operation. 
Joysticks are supplied as standard without a cable harness, allowing the user flexibility of connection. Alternatively the joystick 
may be factory configured with fitted limiters or cable harnesses, upon customer request.
SEALING
Two gaiter options are offered as standard to provide an IP65 above-panel seal. When specifying a bush mount joystick 
please select gaiter option 5. Alternatively gaiter option 1 should be selected for 4 point screw mount joysticks. As standard, 
an adhesive P.V.C sealing gasket is supplied with all bush mount joysticks, to ensure a good seal between the joystick 
body and the panel. 
  
DUAL POLE OPERATION
The construction of the joystick is designed such that both switches nominally trigger simultaneously. Such simultaneous 
triggering is subject to a +/-3 degree tolerance (between switches) owing to the mechanical tolerances and hysterisis of 
each switch.
MOUNTING
The 1000 Series is available in two mounting options, four point screw mount or bush mount. The V4 screw mount option 
is supplied with M2.5 x 20mm screws, whereas the larger construction of V3 screw mount joystick is supplied with 
M2.5 x 25mm screws
All screws supplied are slotted, pan head machine screws.
LEVERS
Lever option 5 provides for a low profile above the panel (41mm), this option is very popular for those applications requiring 
a compact, stubby design. Lever option 1 is an additional 5mm taller. Lever option 6 should be specified for a push button 
handle, and lever option 7 is designed for V4 di-pole, or V3 constructions.    
Note: The company reserves the right to change specifications without notice.
