How It Compares
| KY-PC-F2 with trackball | KY-PC-F1 drops the trackball for a shorter 319*135 mm panel when the application already has a touch screen. |
|---|---|
| Sealed rubber membrane keyboard | Stainless steel buttons and a vandal proof panel resist cutting and prying, which a rubber mat does not. |
| Consumer waterproof keyboard | KY-PC-F1 is panel mounted from the front or rear with a published ≥2million key durability rather than sitting loose on a desk. |
Use Guide
- Cut to the 319*135 mm front panel dimension and allow for the 343*159 mm body
- Confirm the 86 key layout drawing before production as legends are permanent
- Supply DC5V±5% from the host port and allow under 150mA
- Keep service conditions within -20℃~55℃ and 20%~85% relative humidity
- Store spare units between -30℃ and 85℃
