Low-profile keypad offers design flexibility

A new low-profile version of the M.series rugged keypad has been added to the range of products offered by EAO – the expert for Human Machine Interfaces. Just 8mm deep, the new M.series 'Axess’ offers the same design flexibility and versatility as it’s larger brother, but with a lower behind-panel depth. It is especially well suited to security and access control equipment, vending machines, or any application where space is restricted. M.series ‘Axess' has a unique design advantage over other keypads: the standard product can be quickly adapted to suit the look and feel of any piece of equipment without the need for additional tooling. In this way, OEMs get a product that looks bespoke but without a costly design process - only the M.Series can do this. Modularity is at the heart of the design. The 12-key basic layout can be rearranged to create a unique keypad by mix-and-matching from a range of standard options, including: •the number of keys and the key layout; •the shape, dimension, colour and material of keys; •type and colour of LED illumination. The modular construction enables total design flexibility. A keypad can have between one and 12 active keys, each one separately illuminated and engraved. They can be positioned anywhere in the 3 x 4 grid. The bottom right and left keys can be illuminated with different colours. Different shaped keycaps, either round or square, can also be specified. Built to EAO’s renowned high-standards, the tough, vandal-resistant design prevents damage from shock and impact up to IK09, and it is sealed up to IP65 against moisture and dirt. M.series Axess is another example of EAO’s commitment to innovation and excellence.
