Electrone has developed the 720S, a RoHS compliant, 17 key numeric keypad with LCD 2x16 character display. This clever unit offers bi-directional communication across a reliable RS232 serial connection; it can communicate with any serial device not only a PC. On board memory enhances the ability of the unit to offer some stand alone or off line capability.
A world of specialized applications exists with the flexibility of the 720S:
- Customizable firmware, key signals, cables, key tops and legends.
- Key strokes can be sent real time or batched.
- The standard cable offers a power input.
- Available plastic key skins offer protection in challenging environments.
The memory is expandable so the unit can be used as a stand alone device:
- Set it up to offer a series of questions to operate off line or as a stand alone operation.
- It can act as a stand alone customer service device, for example, to match suitable parts for particular products.
The 720S Numeric LCD Keypad is ideal for a variety of special applications.
- For instance, retailers will find it a cost effective, practical solution as a compact counter top mini terminal for prepaid telephone or gift card sales.
- Connect the 720S to a host running an application to create a closed universe account system enabling purchases using an account code.
The unit is small enough to be mounted in vehicles:
- This offers a compact HID for vehicle tracking and management devices
