The operator control units (OCUs), the LRC-M1-IS and the LRC-L1-IS are approved for use in highly explosive environments, including oil and gas rigs, petroleum processing and chemical engineering plants. An operator is able to position themselves to best advantage without being tied to a manual control station or wired pendant. Both OCUs employ advanced dual processor electronics and safety critical software which are protected in an ergonomic and robust housing that is well-suited for use in demanding industrial environments. New features include an external memory button, allowing facilities to deploy spare units by swapping the memory button between the operating unit and a spare. The units are approved for Zone 0 use.
