Enclosure for mobile data collection applications

25 October 2000 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

OKW's Datec-Control case system with the elegant round head now has an S-version which is smaller. The case can now be easily clasped with one hand without affecting the size of the display. The recessed operating area is extremely suitable for the use of membrane keyboards.

Within the top part of the case there are direct mounting devices for two current display sizes: a display module with 16 digits per line and a graphic module with a display of 84 x 64 dots. If the display can be mounted directly onto the PCB, a variety of additional displays are possible. Basically, all kinds of displays can be used which fit into a circle of 105 mm diameter and which are not higher than 15 mm. On demand, the top part can then be provided with the adequate cutout required by the display. If necessary, the display can be protected with a 1 mm thick plexiglass disk which is bloomed on one side and is fixed with a double-sided adhesive foil.

The top part also holds the power supply. For this purpose, removable battery compartments in three different types are offered as accessory: one variant for 4 x 1,5 V round cells (AA) and two variants for one and/or two 9 V flat batteries (PP3). The battery compartment is closed with a lid provided with a snap-in mechanism. Used together with a storage battery or an integrated power pack it can be additionally screwed down. In order to protect the Datec-Control S against rough conditions of operation, a sealing kit (IP 65) is also available.
