Foot Control for Medical Vacuum Pumps: Welch 1430C Switch
The Welch 1430C model is a reliable and ergonomic solution for remote control of vacuum pumps in medical and laboratory environments. It is a momentary-action foot switch that provides convenient, hands-free control of equipment, particularly useful in medical applications requiring strict asepsis or in situations where the operator's hands are occupied.
Equipped with male and female IEC connectors, this device plugs directly between the pump and the power source. This configuration simplifies installation without the need for special adapters, making it a ready-to-use tool for professionals. With a universal voltage range (90 to 230 V), the 1430C is compatible with a wide range of vacuum pumps.
Designed for momentary use, the switch allows temporary activation of the pump only when the foot is placed on the pedal. This is particularly suitable for tasks requiring short or intermittent vacuum cycles, or for suction in sensitive medical systems.
The switch is compatible with an 8-foot cord, ensuring sufficient flexibility for smooth operation in a variety of medical or analytical workstation configurations. CE compliant, it meets the safety requirements of professional healthcare environments.
