EAO provides rugged, intelligent HMIs to enhance tractor exterior controls
With the launch of the Series 09, EAO offers a range of rugged CAN-based keypads that enhance efficiency, safety and reliability in harsh environments.
EAO provides advanced solutions for the ConAg market with intelligent products designed to improve efficiency and prioritise operator safety. In tractor applications, advanced operating concepts - such as screens, mobile phone interfaces and multimedia functions -are often limited to the interior of cabs due to regulatory requirements. External controls must meet strict durability standards to function reliably in harsh conditions, including extreme weather, bright sunlight, dirt, and dust.
EAO's Series 09 rugged CAN-based keypads address these challenges by offering durable and adaptable solutions for exterior controls. Designed to improve operator efficiency, these keypads feature interchangeable legends, customisable halo illumination, and CAN bus integration, allowing manufacturers to tailor HMI specifications to their specific applications. The compact design and versatile mounting options support both vertical and horizontal installation, making integration straightforward.
Built for reliable performance in demanding environments, the Series 09 keypads are sealed to IP6K9K standards, ensuring resistance to water, dust, and extreme temperatures ranging from -40degC to +85degC. Available in 2-, 6-, and 8-button configurations, these keypads offer a robust solution for modernising exterior controls while maintaining compliance with IATF 16949, the globally recognised automotive quality standard.
