Penny & Giles Technical InformationJC4000 • Designed primarily for Aerial Work Platforms • Ergonomic grips • Top switch and person-present lever options • Rocker grip with proportional output and detent • Hall-effect sensor technology • Choice of voltage outputs • Dual outputs on each axis including rocker grip • Center-reference signal • Rated for 6 million cycles • Under- or above-panel mounting • Integrated Connector or Flying-Lead termination The JC4000 joystick base and accompanying range of grips have been designed for use in Aerial Work Platform (AWP) applications, with options for single-or dual-axis operation making the product suitable for both scissor lifts and booms. Three, dual-axis gates are available - round, square or plus - while the ergonomically-designed grip offers the choice of one or two top switches, as well as a person-present lever, meaning the unit can be used across a wide variety of machines. These carefully chosen configuration options offer an optimal combination of performance and cost. Non-contacting, Hall-effect sensing technology ensures smooth operation and a long life - in excess of 6 million operating cycles - while dual electrical outputs on each axis, plus a center-reference signal, enhance overall system safety. The range of the electrical outputs can be set to either 10-90%, 2080% or 25-75% of a 5V regulated supply, with the polarity of each adjustable to suit the host electronics. The joystick can be fitted to an enclosure in both under-panel and above-panel configurations and provides sealing of the enclosure to IP67. In addition to a robust mechanical design that is resilient to high shaft load, shock and vibration, the operational integrity of the unit is assured in electrical fields of up to 100V/m. The joystick is also available either with an integrated connector or with 300mm long flying leads. Alternative grip options to those described above are available.

The biased seat enables the operating rod to move more easily along the X and Y axes of the joystick, but it does not prevent movement into the corner positions.
