Kongsberg 11 Switch Keypad
Overview
The 11-switch keypad has versatile designs which are compatible with the full range of New Eagle multiplex control modules. This makes it possible to quickly and easily create a complete system or subsystem in wide range CAN-based vehicles and applications. Alternatively, the keypad can simply be incorporated into a vehicle's existing CAN bus. Its generic slave configuration, which is common to many CAN-based applications, allows the vehicle application to take full control of the keypad and give each switch its own characteristics.
Up to 32 LEDs can be used for displaying the switch status or vehicle diagnostics. The LEDs can easily be configured for various diagnostics determined by the application or the user’s needs. An additional 12 backlit LEDs can be controlled individually and are dimmable to suit day/night operation. Laser etching of the icons on the silicone membrane provides customization to suit a specific application quickly and cost effectively. In sleep mode, this unit draws less than 1mA of power, and it has a bi-directional wake-up pin used to wake up the system.
This compact, fully sealed and ruggedized unit will provide extended service life in the harshest environments.
New Features
In 2011, Kongsberg Vehicle Controls updated their 11-button keypad. The changes included an increased range in operating temperature (-40°C to +85°C) and increased reliability by incorporating new tactile switches. The product can now accept both 12 and 24VDC components.
The upgraded product has no physical changes to its appearance, functionality or mounting orientations, however, there have been changes to the keypad's part numbers.
