Advanced Input Systems Flat Panel Series
Advanced Input Systems’ Flat Panel Series isdesigned for environments where instrumen-
tation needs to be highly visible, cleanable,
and impervious to surrounding elements.
AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES 1) DomeFlat Panel Dome products incorporate the use
of a tactile metal on a printed circuit board.2) Membrane Non-tactileFlat Panel Membrane Non-tactile
professional keyboards use
the simplest of switches with silver ink screened
on polyester.3) Membrane TactileFlat Panel Membrane Tactile products incorporate
a metal dome on a poly circuit screened in silver ink.4) Membrane Polyester DomeFlat Panel Membrane Polyester Dome switches use a
formed plastic dome as the tactile element in conjunction
with a screened silver ink circuit. ADVANCED INPUT SYSTEMS TECHNICAL EXPERTISELow Design, Tooling, and Production Costs: High Value-Added Capabilities: • State-of-the-art CAD design systems• High-tech custom tooling capabilities

OVERVIEW Designed to meet demanding requirements,Advanced Input Systems’ Flat Panel series is
particularly popular and reliable in environ-
ments where instrumentation requires high
visibility, cleansing, and the ability to
withstand harsh operating conditions.Flat Panel keyboards utilize flat panel,tactile or non-tactile touch with multiple
switch technology options: dome switch or
membrane switch. The tactile dome product
supplies a crisp snap-action breakover tactile
feel for optimal operator accuracy. The non-
tactile membrane adapts the simplest of
switches with silver ink screened on polyester.Flat Panel products are used in applicationsthat require an easy-to-clean keyboard, and
the ability to operate in a severe and
exacting environment.
