In the marine sector, reliability, ergonomics, and design are paramount when it comes to control systems. The EAO Series 09 Indoor keypad has been developed specifically to meet these requirements, offering a robust and user-friendly solution for installation in various operator environments within the maritime industry, as well as in other heavy-duty vehicles.
Tailored for Indoor Marine Use
The Series 09 Indoor is purpose-built for interior environments and is ideal for operator environments where space and reliability are of critical importance. Its compact design, with a mounting depth of just 15 mm, allows for easy installation in confined spaces without compromising functionality.
High Visibility with Customisable Illumination
Equipped with powerful RGB-controlled LEDs and configurable halo lighting, the keypad ensures clear visual feedback in both daylight and low-light conditions. This feature is particularly vital in marine settings, where lighting conditions can change dramatically.
Flexible and Secure Integration
Supporting CAN bus protocols such as CAN open and J1939, the Series 09 Indoor allows for seamless integration with existing onboard systems. Furthermore, it complies with international safety standards including ISO 26262 and ISO 13849, ensuring functional safety in critical applications.
Customisable Symbols for Clear Functionality
To enhance usability, buttons can be laser-etched with ISO 7000 symbols or bespoke icons. This enables crew members to quickly identify and operate the appropriate functions—an essential feature in high-pressure situations at sea.
In summary, the EAO Series 09 Indoor keypad offers a reliable, flexible, and user-friendly control solution for operator environments systems, combining high safety standards with modern design and straightforward integration.
When it comes to off-highway vehicles—such as Garbage trucks?, snowploughs, or other specialised vehicles—components used outdoors must withstand extreme conditions. The EAO Series 09 Outdoor keypad is engineered precisely for such challenges, where functionality, durability, and safety are crucial.
Engineered to Withstand the Elements
Rated IP6K9K, the Series 09 Outdoor keypad is fully dust- and waterproof, capable of withstanding high-pressure cleaning—ideal for exterior vehicle installation. Whether faced with rain, snow, dirt, or direct sunlight, the keypad continues to perform reliably without compromise.
Optimal for Heavy Vehicles in Operation
Garbage trucks? and similar vehicles often require fast, clear operation from the outside—for instance, when emptying bins or operating lifting arms. The Series 09 Outdoor gives operators full control outside the cab, with responsive tactile feedback and buttons that remain legible even when wearing gloves.
User-Friendly and Safe
With customisable RGB illumination, laser-engraved symbols, and four-segment halo lighting, the keypad provides immediate and clear visual feedback. This enhances safety and minimizes the risk of incorrect operation, even in stressful working conditions.
Intelligent Integration into Vehicle Systems
The Series 09 supports CAN-based protocols such as J1939 and CANopen, enabling seamless communication with the vehicle’s other control systems. In addition, it meets key safety standards like ISO 26262 for functional safety—a necessity in modern vehicle design.
With its rugged construction and intelligent design, the EAO Series 09 Outdoor is the obvious choice for keypad solutions in demanding outdoor applications. It delivers safe and dependable performance—regardless of the weather, location, or task at hand.
In the transport and service industries, safety features are not merely conveniences, they are essential. The EAO Series 09 Safety has been specially developed for use in on-highway vehicles, where the keypad plays a critical role in activating vital functions such as warning systems, or the control of essential equipment.
Designed for Safety-Critical Applications
The Series 09 Safety meets stringent safety standards including ISO 26262 and ISO 13849, making it suitable for applications where human and technical safety must go hand in hand. It can be used to activate functions such as door operations, warning lights, or automated safety systems.
Maximum Clarity in User Interaction
Featuring illuminated symbols, four-segment halo lighting, and colour-coded indicators, the Series 09 Safety provides immediate and clear visual feedback upon activation—crucial in vehicles where the driver must make rapid, accurate decisions. The intuitive design ensures ease of use even under pressure or while driving.
Ergonomic and Space-Saving Design
With its slim construction and IP67 rating, the keypad is easy to integrate into both driver cabins and control panels. Tactile feedback ensures the user can feel when a function has been activated—offering reassurance in situations where it’s unsafe to divert one’s eyes from the road.
Reliable Real-Time Communication
Thanks to CAN-bus compatibility (J1939 and CANopen), the Series 09 communicates seamlessly with the vehicle's systems in real time. This ensures rapid response and high performance in situations where every millisecond counts.
The EAO Series 09 Safety provides a secure, reliable, and user-focused control solution for on-highway vehicles—designed to protect drivers, passengers, and equipment alike.
EAO’s Series 09 also offers complementary products such as robust outdoor pushbuttons and LIN-based switch panels.
