Sealed to IP65, the desktop version will resist moisture and dirt ingress and cannot be damaged by cleaning fluids or agents.
EAO recommends the TSK 105 for use in: • aggressive environments polluted by dust, grease or ink particles suspended in the air, e.g printing machines.
• sterile environments cleaned using ultrasonic techniques, e.g medical equipment.
• hygienic environments cleaned using pressure washing, e.g food packaging equipment.
• explosive atmospheres which must be free of contacts and electrostatic discharge.
• public areas susceptible to vandalism, e.g public-access internet kiosks.
The TSK 105 is also available in an OEM version that's ready to fit to existing machinery.
There is no aluminium housing, but a metal frame and support 'stiffeners' are supplied for correct mounting.
The low behind-panel depth of just 22mm makes this product ideal for integration within slim, table-top applications.
Both options are available with PS2 or USB interface and compatible with PCs using Windows operating systems from Win 98SE. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
