The design of the keyboard (keys can still be pressed) means that keys are
protected from freezing as long as the keys remain accessible and can be
pressed. This means that the keyboard can also be used in snow and ice.

General description
Series 09 Rugged Keypads offer high reliability: The modules are designed for an intelligent
control with CAN bus integration. The robust, modular design with protection degrees of up to
IP6K7 and the possibility of customer-specific adaptations and the arrangement of symbol
inserts predestine the devices for harsh use in heavy-duty and special vehicles. The modules
are as well designed for ECE certification.
High reliability and functional safety are indispensable for the control of safety-relevant
applications in vehicles and machines – whether in construction machinery, construction
vehicles, agricultural machinery or in various types of special and commercial vehicles. Harsh
environmental conditions and low back panel depth require a robust and compact product
design. In addition, the control and signalling devices must be precisely configurable both
mechanically and electronically for the respective application. The high-quality Rugged Keypad
meets these requirements with a cutting-edge system integration.
