Status indication with halo segments
The 4-segment RGB halo ring illumination of the Rugged Keypads is ideal for dynamic status indications such as the display of fill levels or the gradual control of speed. This provides users with constant feedback on the current operating status. The distinguishing colours and the ability to make the four separate RGB segments light up, flash, pulsate or rotate guarantee intuitive operation and the intelligent integration into a customer-specific operating concept.
With the individually programmable LEDs it is possible to define different function layers and individual functions per segment – for even more functionality combined in one HMI.
Series 09 Protective Shroud
The robust and shock-resistant Series 09 Protective Shroud not only provides reliable protection against unintentional actuation and operating errors, but also serves to comply with specific standards in various areas of application. For example, the EN1501-1:2021 standard requires all control and monitoring units on the outside of garbage trucks to be secured against accidental actuation or contact. The new Protective Shroud of Series 09 separates the individual pushbuttons. The additional guidance of the fingers makes it easy to operate the desired function even when wearing work gloves.
- Prevention of unintentional actuation
- Finger guidance and separation of the individual pushbuttons
- Reduced risk of operating errors
