A marine-certified keyboard built to IEC 60945 4th Edition - IP67 sealed against spray and washdown, salt-mist resistant corrosion-proof housing, 50 mm IP68 integrated trackball and 8-level dimmable backlighting for day, dusk and night bridge operations.
Salt mist, constant humidity, spray and vibration are day-one operating conditions for a naval keyboard. Every material, coating and seal is chosen to outlast years of continuous marine service.
Full Certificate of Conformity to IEC 60945 4th Edition - the definitive international standard for marine electronics covering EMC, environmental, safety and flammability.
Corrosion-resistant chassis with anti-corrosion coating, stainless steel fasteners, latches and hardware - engineered to survive continuous salt-spray exposure at sea.
Front face sealed to IP67 - fully protected against water immersion and high-pressure washdown, with NEMA 4X rating for both clean and splash-prone bridge environments.
A large 50 mm waterproof trackball with removable ball for easy cleaning gives precise cursor control on ECDIS and ECS navigation charts in any sea state.
High-brightness LED backlighting with fibre optics illuminates key legends and contours. Eight brightness steps by dedicated keys for day, dusk and night watch conditions.
Multi-functional layout with separate numeric, function and control keypads optimised for ECDIS, ECS and GMDSS workstation integration on vessel bridges.
Bus-powered USB - no external supply required. Works directly with any ECDIS or bridge PC.
Drop-in replacement for existing PS/2 keyboards on fielded bridge and combat management systems.
Backlight brightness driven by external DC voltage, PWM signal or potentiometer for ECDIS day/dusk/night modes.
Power On, Num Lock, Scroll Lock and Caps Lock - intelligent luminosity matching ambient light.
Tailor the keyboard to your vessel class, bridge layout and certification authority.
