The development goal was a modern and safe overall system consisting of radio hand lamp and valve control board. The focus was firstly on intuitive operation for the end user and secondly on simple integration of the system into our customers’ existing joint play detectors. The product design took into account Directive 2014/45/EU as well as EU country-specific requirements.
