Mounting Type

Housing version Desktop versions can be used as so-called standalone versions. They are suited for places where a stable and even surface is available. Due to the plastic knobs on the bottom side of the device, they are skid-proof. One of the advantages of desktop versions is their application flexibility. They can be connected to systems with standard interfaces (PS/2, USB) without any problems.   VESA version The mounting of electronic devices to the wall, the ceiling or to panels is subject to the so-called VESA standard. The back side of the device is equipped with four insert nuts for installing the bolts. The distance between the mounting holes corresponds to a standardized matrix (usually 75 x 75 mm). This mounting method includes the assembly and system integration of desktop devices.   Front mounted version The most frequently used integration method for keyboards and cursor controls is the so-called MODUL variant. The studs on the rear side allow a comfortable installation into almost every system of any type. Due to the seals (included in delivery) lying underneath, a high IP protection level is guaranteed.   Rack mounted version (front panel) Front panel versions are mainly used for integrating data input devices into 19-inch racks or 19-inch drawers. The mounting holes on the sides of the front panel allow a comfortable installation of the device. The keyboards are standardized according to the RU (Rack units; 1 RU = 44.45 mm) of the 19“ system (1” = 25.4 mm).   Drawer version In the product line of foil covered industrial keyboards, so-called keyboard/drawer systems are available. Due to their compact size they are suited for the application in 19-inch mounting systems. The low mounting height of 1 RU (1 RU = 44.45 mm) requires only little space. The extracted drawer has an angle of about 15 degrees allowing for comfortable operation in standing position.
