The Graf-Syteco AT13 Series is a low-cost universal operator panel for machinery or vehicle systems that do not need the expense of a full graphical interface. With six function keys, each with its own programmable status LED, this manual operator panel provides an easy-to-use front end for a variety of systems, with the flexibility of an onboard CANbus interface for ease of integration.
The panel is ideal for equipment that requires both day and night-time operation. Each of the six function keys has halo lighting, and the backlight also illuminates the function labels, improving operator safety in low light conditions. An integrated buzzer can be used to provide an alarm under fault conditions.
The unit is easy to customise: the legends for all six function keys can be affixed to a single removable strip, and four DIP switches enable a range of different parameters to be programmed. Setup software is supplied free of charge for further programming of options, including the backlights.
The AT13 comes as an IP65 sealed unit, measuring 204 x 49 x 45mm and weighing 320g, and is supplied with brackets for mounting on a dashboard or panel. All electrical connections are via a single plug, and the unit will run from a wide-ranging supply between 10 and 32V DC, which includes coverage of both 12 and 24V automotive supplies. Current drain is a low 70mA from a 24V supply.
The AT13 Series is designed to handle the rigours of the off-highway machinery environment. Operating temperature range is a wide -20 to +70C, and the unit is certified to international standards for shock, vibration and electromagnetic compatibility – including the all-important 70V level I load dump resistance.
