Jupiter Era 8B
Remotus by Åkerströms
Built for Heavy-Duty Control
Light lifts to heavy lifts
The Remotus Jupiter Era 8B is a robust, agile transmitter for light lifts, heavy lifts and other industrial or mobile applications. Eight two-stage push buttons give up to sixteen functions, backed by a graphical display and LED status indicators, in a sealed housing that keeps working through dust, rain and wash-down.
- Eight two-stage push buttons – up to 16 functions from one handset
- Graphical LCD (128×64px) showing up to four numerical or bar-graph values at once
- LED indicator on every button, plus a battery-status LED
- Adaptive transmit power (1–10 mW) to minimise radio interference
- Sealed to IP67 – dust-tight and washdown-proof
- Just 265 g including battery – built to be run all day, gloves on
Matching Receiver – Remotus T-Rx 500
Built for the same hard use
The T-Rx 500 receiver pairs with the Jupiter Era 8B in a shock-resistant, waterproof aluminium housing rated to IP67. Up to 24 digital outputs (3A each) plus two dual safety outputs (RCSS) cover everything from a simple winch to a fully interlocked crane, with dual microprocessors cross-checking every command and running diagnostics continuously while in service.
