Functional Features
The IPC1410 keypad replicates the original keyboard functionality, including all legends, symbols, and color coding for industrial operation. The metal dome technology provides a distinct tactile click, ensuring positive operator feedback even with gloved hands. The keypad is resistant to dust, oil, and mild solvents, making it suitable for factory floors.
Installation is straightforward: the FFC connector plugs directly into the controller board, and the adhesive backing ensures firm attachment to the panel frame. No software configuration is required. The optional LED backlight enhances visibility in low-light conditions and can be connected to the panel's internal power supply.
Installation Guidelines
Disconnect the device from power. Remove the old keypad by carefully peeling it off and detaching the FFC cable. Clean the mounting surface with isopropyl alcohol. Align the new keypad and press firmly to activate the adhesive. Connect the FFC cable to the socket, ensuring correct orientation. Reassemble the panel and test each key for proper response.
Handle the keypad with care to avoid creasing or scratching. Do not use sharp tools to press keys.
