PrehKeyTec SIK-21-NUM Keypad
The SIK 21-Num rugged keypad has been designed to provide a turnkey high performance data entry solution for the most demanding applications.
The SIK 21-Num provides a numeric pad with special application function keys using a rugged silicone surface. Having been specifically designed for use in harsh environments, rugged applications, industrial automation, wet room applications and machine control.
Applications for the keypad include the military equipment control, equipment control and data input, food production/processing/wash down & catering and in other fields of activity where extreme environmental conditions require a reliable means of data input.
The rugged silicon surface protects against dust and liquids, and can provide additional resistance where corrosive fluids are present, the unit meets the IP65 rating against fluid ingress. The keypad technology and the design of the unit allows operators to work seamlessly even when the operators need to wear protective gloves. The key surface makes use of a special PU coating to provide additional abrasion protection. One special feature of this keypad is the use of red LED backlighting on each of the key buttons, providing users with enhanced operation in harsh and limited lighting conditions, which in turn reduces errors and aids fast data entry. The underside of the keyboard features integrated screw threads arranged in a 75mm VESA mounting arrangement for ease of integration and mounting.
