Keyboard function
The type KBDi-USB-* keyboards are used to enter data, commands etc. on PCs and similar
devices in hazardous areas. In particular, they
were designed for connection to HMI devices of
the device platform MANTA ET-/MT-xx7.
The type KBDi-USB-* keyboards are explosion-protected equipment for installation in hazardous
areas of zones 0 and 20. The devices may be connected to intrinsically safe USB interfaces.
Power supply and data communication takes place via the USB interface. The keyboards are
connected with a fixed cable.
Various keyboard versions are available that differ in their layout (German, US English, French,
etc.) and in their design (PC keyboard with mouse, trackball, touchpad or with joystick).
The touchpad uses resistive technology and can therefore be operated with a touch pen or with
