Various tools full of individuality.
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
