Product Overview
KY-FB-DT-B is a 304 stainless steel desktop keyboard with 66 buttons and a touchpad mouse, supplied with an explosion-proof isolation grid and certificates. It is intended for control equipment in coal mine, petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, electric power and natural gas environments where an ordinary keyboard cannot be taken into the area. The keyboard and mouse carry the mark Ex ib IIC T6 Gb and the barrier carries [Ex ib Gb]IIC.
- Explosion-proof isolation grid supplied with the keyboard as a tested assembly
- Keyboard and mouse explosion-proof mark Ex ib IIC T6 Gb for hazardous area control desks
- Conforms to GB3836.1-2010 and GB3836.4-2010
- 66 buttons plus touchpad mouse gives full control without a separate pointing device
- 304 stainless steel with surface drawing resists corrosive process atmospheres
- USB or PS/2 output fits both current and legacy control PCs
Application Scenarios
- Coal mine surface and downhole equipment control
- Petroleum and natural gas process control rooms
- Chemical and pharmaceutical plant operator desks
- Metallurgy and electric power switching stations
- Explosion-proof telephone and electrical equipment stations
Who It Is For
- Hazardous area control system integrators
- Coal mining equipment manufacturers

How It Compares
| Standard metal desktop keyboard | KY-FB-DT-B is supplied with an explosion-proof isolation grid and carries Ex ib IIC T6 Gb marking for hazardous areas. |
|---|---|
| Keyboard plus separate explosion-proof mouse | The touchpad mouse is built into the same certified assembly, so only one device enters the area. |
| Painted steel industrial keyboards | The 304 stainless steel with surface drawing resists corrosion where paint would blister and flake. |
Use Guide
- Install the explosion-proof isolation grid between the keyboard and the safe area equipment
- Connect by USB or PS/2 on the safe side and confirm all keys and touchpad response
- Keep the supply at 5V ± 5% through the barrier
- Operate within -10℃~45℃ ambient
- Keep the certificates with the installation documentation for inspection
