Tree chippers, rockcrushers, construction applications, grain storage facialities, seed processing plants, farm tractors, boring machines, cardboard box crushing equipment, concrete pouring applications, diesel engine water pumping appications, mining equipment, fuel delivery truck engine shut down, military training, small and large ATV's, just to name a few.

Q- Can Fox-Paws work on 12 volt D.C. positive ground?
A-Yes, negative or positive ground.

Q- What is the range from the transmitter to the receiver?
A- Standard is ¼ mile line of sight. Distance can be enchanced with a repeater up to 10,000 feet line of sight. Metal buildings may limit the range, but you need to test your parameters to make sure.

Q- Can the enclosure be used in the water?
A- The enclosure is designed to resist moisture. It can be outside, but is not designed to be submersed in water.

The transmitters are not moisture resistant.

Q- What type of mounting is there for the unit?
A- We have 3 types.
1- "U" bracket with 2 thumb knobs, one on each side. These knobs screw into rubber well nuts. This allows the user to take the unit out of one piece of equipment and move it into another piece of equipment. It is designed for a cab environment.
2- A bracket where the unit just sits in a 4 sided cradle, this is for more harsh weather conditions, with limited moving.
3- 4 rubber mounting bushings for slight vibrating conditions, one on each corner of the enclosure. The Model 400 has 4 exterior holes, one on each corner, for mounting.

Q- How big are the units?
A- Fox-Paws units are H= 6.5"; x W= 5"; x D=2".

The Model 400 is H=12"; x W= 12"; x D= 5".

Q- Do people buy these units for safety reasons only?
A- No, convenience is a big factor. For example you have a diesel engine pumping water, that is 1000 feet away, and it has to be shut off when the water gets low, you can just push the button and turn the engine off.

Q- If I have Fox-Paws hooked up to my piece of equipment, and I want to shut it off, do I have to use the transmitter button every time?
A- No, just turn off the key, just like you did before you had the Fox-Paws unit installed.

Q- What if I have a diesel engine on my piece of equipment and have a manual pull lever that I pull to shut off the engine, will your unit work?
A-Yes, with additional equipment purchased (Contact us for additional information).
