The IMPACT Series is Kar-Tech’s ultimate bellypack-style industrial radio transmitter. It is designed for complex mobile hydraulic equipment that demands extensive operator controls, real-time feedback and exceptional durability. The IMPACT Series combines configurable control surfaces with rugged construction and flexible power options to handle the toughest operating environments.
Molded from glass-filled nylon, the IMPACT Series withstands heavy impacts, vibration and extreme temperatures. Its large lower control panel supports up to 10 single-axis paddles or four dual-axis joysticks. The upper panel accommodates switches, dials, pushbuttons and graphical or character-based displays. Side-mounted controls can include keyswitches, large RPM pushbuttons and tether connectors.
A molded mounting point cradles the transmitter on the machine when not in use or when functioning as a fixed wireless control station. Internal high-spec surface-mount electronics deliver dependable operation in demanding environments.
The IMPACT Series is engineered for large, sophisticated machines that require precise proportional control, advanced operator feedback and maximum customization.
