Kar-Tech’s MK Series Radio Transmitter blends the comfort of an industrial pendant with the advantages of wireless technology. The MK Series delivers dependable wireless performance, rugged construction and intuitive operation in a proven handheld form factor.

The MK is offered in 2-, 4-, 6- or 8-button setups, with different button styles available, such as dual-speed pushbuttons for applications requiring two-stage operation. Instant-on/instant-off technology eliminates the need for a power switch. With this technology on board, the transmitter wakes up when a button is pressed and powers down automatically when not in use.

The MK-Series operates at 900 MHz with a range of up to 300 feet, features a durable enclosure with high-spec SMT electronics and offers a minimum of 20 hours of active transmitting time on two AAA batteries.
