Introduction
The Challenger Joystick (Ji) is an intrinsically safe joystick for the application in zone 0 / zone 22.
The joystick functions electrically contact-less which ensures an almost maintenance and wear-
free operation. The applied sensor technology results in a virtually infinitesimal resolution.
Additional to the buttons in the front plate a button can be integrated into the joystick (e.g. Ji-
SW). This button have the same function like the left mouse button.
It serves to control an ASD (Application Supporting Device) e.g. a PC terminal and it has been
designed for the application in an explosion-endangered area.
For the installation in Challenger components the Challenger FMO (display) must feature the
option “2.PD“.
It is equipped with a PS/2 data interface for connection to an intrinsically safe data interface.
CHALLENGER Ji is a Microsoft™-compatible joystick and it is also compatible with the standard
Microsoft™ mouse driver.
