Marquardt 3583 – in any circumstances, a safer and more user-friendly operation
Marquardt, a leader in the automotive sector, offers a control panel with switches that have the ideal tactile response for safe operation even under the most difficult circumstances. The series of control modules Marquardt 3583 is primarily intended for OFF-ROAD mechanisms. According to the manufacturer, these are construction or agricultural machines that do not drive independently on standard roads.
The Marquardt control unit contains the main central element – a large rotary encoder with a diameter of 60 mm.
It fulfils three functions at the same time: a button, a four-way joystick and a rotary button at the same time. There are three more buttons above and below the central button, so there are six buttons around the central element.
Thanks to the robust and distinctive ergonomic design of the control unit, the operator of the device can feel it easily even blindly and controls it intuitively. In case of worse visibility or during night operation, the backlight of the control module is practical and very important. This function is optional and available in different designs, be it color, method, or intensity of the backlight.
