VAC Interface: LCD, Keypad, ID Reader and LEDs
The VAC incorporates a 20-key keypad that is easy to read and operate. The graphical LCD screen remains backlit for
15 seconds after any key is pressed on the keypad. The VAC integrates an electronic identification reader for vehicle
access control. Operators use individual access identification “keys” to the vehicle. (i.e., iButton fobs, prox cards, etc.)
.
Vehicle keys may still be required, depending on wiring and can be safely left in the vehicle.
