Fully customisable keypad range meets harshest environmental challenges

4 April 2007 Enclosures, Racks, Cabinets & Panel Products

EAO offers design engineers a fully customisable keypad, which it claims is extremely reliable and rugged. Ideally suited to harsh environments, such as outdoor and unsupervised locations, the solid metal S.series keypad range features front plate and anti-pull-off keys constructed from Zamak, ensuring a high level of vandal-resistance.

Sealed to IP67 against water and dust as well as resistant to heat, shock and vibration this durable keypad requires minimal maintenance and therefore delivers long term value in terms of lifecycle cost benefits. In terms of meeting human operator demands, for example if an application is located in a poorly lit location the S.series is available with the option of LED key illumination in blue, red, yellow or green.

Display and control options offered by EAO include full colour front plate designs as well as precision custom laser engraving, benefiting end applications in terms of long lasting results which will not rub off.

The S.series keypad range is well-suited to meet the needs of public environment applications including access control, banking and public telephones. The range has also been successfully implemented into vending machines and industrial machinery.

Highly tactile and therefore reassuring to use, the S.series keypad range is rated for 4 million operations. Design options also include 12 or 16 keys, and a choice of standard, telephone, or hexadecimal II configurations.
