The IES2000 is an industrial alternative to existing mechanical and electronic shifters. Designed around IP66 sealing standards and continuous duty-cycles, this unit can withstand the harshest environments and operators. Another primary feature is the identical mounting cavity and hole-pattern as the traditional GSE shifter. Non-contact hall-effect sensing is used for range position detection, thus sliding contact wear is not an issue. The IES2000 is a fully configurable unit capable of CAN-bus communications along with direct outputs for signaling forward, neutral and reverse positions. A shift inhibit feature mechanically locks the shifter in neutral, preventing the operator from shifting out of neutral until all of the configured safety conditions are fulfilled.
