MurCal is proud to highlight the PowerKey Pro series from Blink Marine, a robust and versatile solution for creating custom control systems that excel in demanding environments.

Customizable Control at Your Fingertips

The PowerKey Pro keypads are engineered to provide maximum flexibility for operators and system designers. Each keypad features keys with interchangeable inserts, allowing users to easily swap out icons to match specific operational requirements. This modular approach means that the same keypad can be adapted for a wide variety of applications, from industrial machinery to marine vessels. With access to hundreds of stock icons and the ability to design custom ones, achieving a tailored control interface has never been simpler. This level of customization ensures that every user, regardless of their industry or application, can create a control solution that meets their exact needs.

Engineered for Durability

Reliability is a cornerstone of the PowerKey Pro design. These keypads are built to withstand the toughest environments, carrying an impressive IP67/IP69K rating. This means they are fully protected against water ingress, dust, and even high-pressure washdowns, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. The UV-resistant construction further protects the keypads from prolonged sun exposure, preventing fading and cracking over time. Whether installed inside a vehicle cockpit, on heavy equipment, or exposed to the elements on a marine vessel, PowerKey Pro keypads are designed to keep working flawlessly, year after year.

Advanced Communication and Seamless Integration

Modern control systems demand seamless integration, and PowerKey Pro keypads deliver. They support industry-standard communication protocols including CANopen, J1939, and RS485, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of control systems. Features such as on-the-fly address assignment and automatic address announcement make installation, replacement, and upgrades straightforward and efficient. This plug-and-play capability reduces downtime and simplifies maintenance, allowing operators to focus on their core tasks with confidence.

Enhanced System Feedback and Monitoring

Operational awareness is critical in any control environment. PowerKey Pro keypads support advanced features like event status transmission and periodic heartbeat messages, ensuring that control systems are always up-to-date with the status of every button press. Each key is equipped with RGB LED lighting, providing clear and immediate visual feedback to operators. This not only improves usability in low-light or high-glare conditions but also adds an element of customization, as different colors can be assigned to different functions or statuses.

Thoughtful Design for Easy Installation

Ease of installation is another hallmark of the PowerKey Pro series. The keypads can be mounted vertically or horizontally, and offer both flush and front-mount options to suit a variety of panel designs. The integrated rubber backing acts as a gasket, effectively sealing the keypad and preventing liquids from entering through mounting holes. This attention to detail ensures that the keypads maintain their protective ratings and continue to perform reliably, even in challenging environments.

Versatile Applications Across Industries

PowerKey Pro keypads have been adopted across a wide range of industries, including construction, agriculture, transportation, and marine. Their rugged construction and flexible design make them suitable for use in vehicles, heavy equipment, boats, and industrial control panels. Whether controlling lighting, hydraulics, navigation systems, or other critical functions, these keypads provide a dependable and user-friendly interface.

Built for Tough Environments

The PowerKey Pro series is the ideal choice for anyone seeking to upgrade or expand their control systems with confidence. With their customizable features, advanced communication capabilities, and durable construction, these keypads are engineered to meet the demands of the most challenging conditions. MurCal is committed to providing solutions that enhance operational efficiency, safety, and ease of use—qualities that the PowerKey Pro keypads deliver in every application.
