YKF-01 Foot switch for PCD.250-3 — KERN, selectable TARE/PRINT control

The YKF-01 is a foot switch designed to enable hands-free TARE or PRINT signalling for compatible scales, optimised for busy workshop and production environments where two free hands are required.

• Hands-free TARE or PRINT control
• Includes foot switch, junction box and cable
• PRINT function requires RS-232 interface cable
• Compact 0.25 kg unit for workshop use

Faster, hands-free weighing for more efficient workflows

The foot switch allows rapid, repeatable triggering of weighing functions so operators can keep both hands on the workpiece. By providing selectable TARE and PRINT outputs the device reduces cycle times and the risk of contamination from manual intervention. The PRINT option is suitable for automated data capture but requires a dedicated RS-232 interface cable for full functionality, ensuring reliable data transfer to printers or PC systems. This solution is ideal for repetitive tasks and for setups where ergonomics and speed are priorities.

Simple installation that integrates without fuss

Connection is simplified by the supplied junction box and connection cable, which are designed for straightforward wiring to compatible indicators. The unit’s compact form and low mass (0.25 kg) permit installation close to the operator without adding bulk to the workstation. Compatibility with scale models such as the PCD.250-3 is maintained through a standardised interface approach, so existing systems can be extended without major adaptation. Where the print function is required, the separate RS-232 cable (KERN interface cable) completes the link to peripherals.
