Switches, Relays & Keypads
Using its S.series keypad built from ultra-tough Zamac, switch maker EAO can design a stylish and distinctive keypad solution tailor-made for applications within demanding and harsh environments. They are well suited to security and access control applications, particularly within unsupervised areas.
EAO's standard products within the S.series range include 12- or 16-key keypads with a choice of telephone or hexadecimal II configurations.
The company says there are extensive possibilities for customisation, such as 'halo' illumination around the character on each key in a range of colours or combination of colours. A library of more than 20 different illuminated key characters is available as standard. EAO also offers a character-design service if special markings are required as well as laser engraving facilities for non-illuminated keypads.
S.series keypads offer superior performance and high-tactile feedback to provide a reassuring feel for the user. Sealed to IP67 against water and dust as well as resistant to heat, shock and vibration, they require minimal maintenance and therefore deliver good value in terms of lifecycle-cost benefits, says EAO. They are tested for lifetime quality to 4 million operations.
