How It Compares
| Touch only display interface | KY-3096-BL gives a physical key beside the screen for users wearing gloves or working in bright light. |
|---|---|
| Plastic soft key strips | SUS304 stainless steel keys and panel are rugged and vandal proof rather than moulded plastic. |
| Front mounted keypads | Back panel mounting hides all fixings, removing an obvious attack point on a public machine. |
Use Guide
- Set the aperture pitch against your display soft key positions before machining the fascia
- Fit the keypad by back panel mounting and tighten evenly
- Connect the USB lead and confirm each of the 6 keys reports separately
- Keep ambient within -10℃~45℃
- Clean with a damp cloth and avoid abrasives on the stainless face
