Looking for a keypad that’s as tough and smart as your application demands? Meet the PowerKey 1000 and PowerKey 1400 by Blink Marine—flagship models designed to deliver reliability, flexibility, and style for any vehicle, marine, or industrial control system.
Choose PowerKey?
Unmatched durability is a hallmark of both the PowerKey 1000 (10 keys) and PowerKey 1400 (up to 14 keys), which are built to IP67/IP69K standards, making them dust-tight and waterproof even under high-pressure, high-temperature spray downs. These keypads are UV-protected and engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, so they’re ready for the harshest environments.
Personalization is effortless, as you can customize your keypad with laser-etched icons and assign multiple LED indicators per key. Thanks to RGB backlighting, every button is clearly visible in the dark, ensuring seamless operation day or night. Whether you need vertical or horizontal, flush or front mounting, the PowerKey series fits your installation needs with a low-profile, compact design.
Next-Level Connectivity & Control
With support for both CANopen and J1939 protocols, you’ll enjoy seamless integration with your digital systems. You can assign any valid CAN or RS485 address to the keypad and communicate on either BUS simultaneously, eliminating the need for pre-programming. If you’re in the field and need a replacement, any on-hand keypad can be quickly assigned and configured, even without a GUI.
The software features are equally advanced: keypads automatically announce and accept new addresses, simplifying field replacements. The system instantly notifies you of button presses or releases, with an adjustable broadcast frequency for real-time feedback. A continuous heartbeat function provides status updates to ensure your keypad is functioning correctly at all times, and full compliance with CANopen Device Profile 401d ensures compatibility and reliability.
Designed for Demanding Applications
Engineered for versatility, the PowerKey series is ideal for automotive, marine, and industrial applications. A comprehensive programmer’s manual supports plug-and-play reconfigurability, making system updates and maintenance a breeze. Each key can be configured for ON/OFF, momentary, toggle, or scroll functions, so you can tailor the keypad to your exact needs.
Choose Your Model
The PowerKey 1000 offers 10 keys, while the PowerKey 1400 provides up to 14 keys, and both models support CANopen and J1939 protocols, feature IP67/IP69K waterproof ratings, and allow for extensive customization of icons, LEDs, and mounting options.
The Bottom Line
If you want a keypad that’s rugged, highly customizable, and smart enough to keep up with your evolving system needs, the Blink Marine PowerKey 1000 and 1400 are the clear choice. With advanced connectivity, robust construction, and user-friendly configuration, these keypads put you in total control—no matter where your equipment takes you.
