Waterproof Input Devices for Outdoor Installations

Sealed input devices intended to stay outside, where rain, dust and temperature swing act on the panel every day.

Problems This Range Solves

  • Indoor rated panels admit water at the first sustained rain.
  • Temperature cycling outdoors breaks seals that were tested at room conditions.
  • Unattended outdoor units attract deliberate damage.
  • A 2 million operation life is not enough for a high traffic public entrance.

Who Specifies It

  • Access control installers fitting gate and door entry outdoors.
  • Car park and barrier equipment manufacturers.
  • Telecommunications and utility cabinet builders.
  • Integrators replacing outdoor pads that failed on water ingress.

Where It Is Installed

  • An 82.6*82.6 mm front panel keypad on an outdoor gate controller.
  • A 63.5*82.5 mm compact pad in a roadside cabinet.
  • A 130*90 mm unit on a barrier or parking terminal.
  • A 62 key desktop IP65 metal keyboard with photoelectric trackball for an exposed station.
  • A high traffic public entry point needing a 10 million operation rating.

What You Get From This Range

  • Durability rated at 10 million operations or more on the outdoor keypads.
  • Operating temperature of -20C to 55C with 20 to 85 percent relative humidity.
  • SUS304 brushed stainless steel, anti riot and anti corrosion.
  • Resistant to dirt, dust and liquid with a very rugged vandal proof design.
  • 12 and 16 key layouts standard with other key counts customisable.
  • Interface choice of USB, PS/2 and RS232.
