Technical description
Our new, compact DS85S silicone keyboard was specially developed for industrial applications where there is little space for input elements, but a keyboard is still required. The construction as a silicone mat allows both horizontal and vertical installation of the keyboard. The keyboard has a very comfortable tactile feedback with 1.5mm key travel and 0.6N actuation force.
The construction with a closed silicone mat provides a high level of protection for the electronic components, the guide elements and the contacts against the ingress of dust and water jets (up to protection class IP 68). This allows typical areas of use in industrial applications of all kinds, in the food industry or in humid environments, especially with strong temperature fluctuations (0 to 60 ° C, optionally -20 to 60 ° C).
The combination of a dust- and waterproof silicone mat on the front and a robust stainless steel plate on the back ensures that the entire keyboard (and not just individual components) meets the minimum requirement of 1 million switching cycles even under harsh environmental conditions. Thanks to the laser application, the button symbols remain clearly legible even after years of intensive use.
Another special feature is the key backlighting of the DS85S. Each button is backlit by its own LED, which means that the symbols remain perfectly legible even at night. The operator can easily dim the LEDs using two integrated buttons and thus adapt them to the current lighting conditions.
