Fire-fighting vehicles.
Cool technology for hot situations.
Fire-fighting vehicles must be able to withstand the toughest conditions – particularly when it comes to outdoor operating systems for aerial ladders. EAO offers proven HMI Products and Solutions in this area.
What our HMIs can do for fire-fighting vehicles.
Holds firm when things heat up.
Fire-fighting vehicles have to be tough, for example withstanding extreme heat, heavy soiling and even toxic substances. Specifically for such safety-relevant functions, EAO offers products and solutions in line with the standards EN ISO 13849 PL d and ISO 26262 ASIL B. Thanks to CAN Bus connection, you can integrate the devices into your CAN system intelligently and easily.
Intuitive light and siren controls
HMIs for light or siren control in fire-fighting vehicles’ driver’s cabs require particularly intuitive operation and a long service life.
New labelling techniques
Bright LED illumination and clear symbols enable buttons to be found quickly. Thanks to new labelling techniques, complex symbols and special font types are also possible, and with improved legibility thanks to clearly rendered characters and symbols.
Solutions with HMI Functions.
Various tools full of individuality.
Joystick.
Powerful. Robust and individual.
EAO offers you numerous joysticks for rugged use in a wide variety of applications. Suitable for vehicles, machines, medical technology or radio remote controls. The joysticks are available in standard and individually configurable versions for HMI Solutions.
Typical applications
- Commercial vehicles
- Special vehicles
- Marine, rail and electric vehicles
- Machinery
- Medical technology
- Numerous other applications
Keypad.
Durable, functional and safe.
The modules are designed for E1 applications and are suitable for safety-relevant applications in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13849. The CAN bus connection ensures an intelligent and free programmability. The robust, modular design with sealing levels of up to IP6K9K according to DIN ISO 20653 and the ability to customize and individually select and arrange the keypad legends make these high-quality devices ideally suited for harsh use in heavy duty and special vehicles.
Advantages
- Robust, ergonomic and innovative design sealed up to IP6K9K protection
- Suitable for functional safety applications according to DIN EN ISO 13849
- Intelligent HMIs with CAN bus integration
- Programmable 4-segment RGB halo ring illumination for function feedback
- High flexibility due to interchangeable ISO 7000 or customised symbols
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 push buttons. 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 push buttons
- Reduced risk of operating errors
