In certain applications, users encounter challenges when using Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), especially in vehicles navigating uneven terrain or when the operators are wearing work gloves. Responding to these challenges, EAO introduces the Series 09 Protective Shroud as an accessory for their rugged keypads with 6 or 8 buttons. This robust and shock-resistant protective cover meets the standard EN1501-1:2021, which mandates the securement of the control and monitoring units on the exteriors of garbage trucks, to prevent accidental actuation or contact. The shroud reduces operational errors and uncontrolled movements of equipment parts, like lifting devices. Installation is straightforward – the Series 09 Protective Shroud can be easily attached to rugged keypads, separating individual buttons. The added finger guidance facilitates smooth operation, even with work gloves.
Advantages
• Prevention of unintentional activation
• Enhanced finger guidance and individual button separation
• Reduced risk of operational errors
The Series 09 Protective Shroud not only complies with the EN1501-1:2021 standard for garbage trucks but also provides tangible benefits in various applications, ensuring intuitive operation of rugged keypads for safe use in demanding environments.
