AUMA’s new, explosion-proof RSTX 100 remote control is a safe and highly capable way to operate AUMA actuators on site, saving staff time and resources in their busy daily lives.

The unit is ATEX- and IECEx-certified as intrinsically safe (Ex ia) for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. With a Bluetooth range of up to 20 metres (66 feet), on-site staff can conveniently operate their actuators from a safe distance.

The RSTX 100 is particularly useful when actuators are mounted in hard-to-reach positions, such as in pits or at height. As its large, high-resolution colour display shows the entire communication, including the actuator’s response, all operations can easily be performed without climbing ladders or entering confined spaces, even if the actuator’s own display is out of sight.

The device is robust yet ergonomic and easy to use while wearing gloves. On-site staff can quickly and easily manage all the important tasks related to AUMA actuators, thanks to clear menus and intuitive text. Functions include opening and closing valves, configuring actuator parameters, setting valve end positions, updating actuator firmware, and providing actuator log data for analysis and diagnostics in CORALINK, the AUMA digital ecosystem.

The RSTX 100 remote control works seamlessly with any AUMA explosion-proof actuator in the current ranges: PROFOX, TIGRON, and SAEx and SQEx with ACExC 01.2 controls. Users can thus operate different AUMA actuator types in their plant in the same intuitive way, speeding up daily work and reducing the need for training.
