Advanced Input Systems' Ruggedized mid-travel keyboards are designed to withstand industrial and public use environments. Highly durable, these 85 and 63-key panel-mount boards are constructed with secured, metal keytops within a metal bezel. This advantage makes them vandal resistant to knives, pens, butane lighters and virtually any other type of abuse where either vandalism or weather is the major concern in design. Keytop legends are laser etched into the keytop’s surface to create a permanent legend.

These fully-rugged keyboards are ideal for mounting in equipment as an integrated keyboarding device. With proper mounting, the 85 board will meet IP65, NEMA12 or NEMA4x specifications.

Typical Applications

• Public interactive kiosks
• Interactive ATMs

Mounting Considerations

• Bezel shape and alignment
  The shape and alignment of the bezel are not critical to keyboard performance. However, different approaches to bezel design will affect the aesthetic appearance of the overall implementation. Consult your Advanced Input Systems Sales Engineer for bezel design recommendations.
• Keyboard mounting
  The Ruggedized 85 key panel-mount keyboard provides 30 mounting holes (0.156”) around the perimeter of the keyboard. The keyboard includes a factory installed rubber gasket as a standard option. When mounted correctly, this gasket provides a NEMA4x compliant seal. The key surface already complies with NEMA4x standards directly from the factory. Consult your Advanced Input Systems Sales Engineer for suggestions on mounting techniques utilizing these locations.
