The F50 Series trackball is a high specification human interface device designed to operate in extremely demanding environments where reliability and robustness are essential. The unique aluminium construction provides excellent impact strength, electrical shielding, and environmental protection, making the trackball an all-round robust solution for the most demanding of military, marine and aerospace applications. High-grade stainless steel shafts and bearings ensure a solid and precise pointer control. The trackball also includes the Cursor Controls Ltd, patent protected, anti-vibration technology which ensures that only intended ball movements are transmitted to the host system (i.e. when the user's hand is in contact with the surface of the ball). This feature eliminates any unwanted cursor motion resulting from ball movement caused by external shocks or vibrations. The F50 Series trackball can also be configured with various top plate styles providing options on ball tracking force and illumination for use in low light environments. The trackball has been designed to be back of panel mounted as part of a rugged keyboard/console or alternatively can be supplied as part of a custom panel solution with integrated switches (please consult your local sales office for details on customised solutions). • Smooth operation in rugged environments • Excellent environmental protection o IP65 sealing rating o Sand and dust protection o High level of corrosion resistance o High impact strength • Patented anti-vibration technology for use in environments where vibration/shock is commonplace • Various top plate configurations are available; o Threaded removable ring/ball to allow for ease of servicing o Non removable ring/ball • For use in military, marine, and aerospace keyboards and consoles • Manufactured to ISO 9001 quality system • Please see product selector document DS50074 for further configuration options including; o Additional top plate configurations o “HALO” LED illumination around the top ring/ball for use in low level light environments

The F50 series trackball provides features that may be selected using the DIP switch located on the printed circuit board. Please note that the trackball base plate must be removed to access the DIP switch (please refer to application note AN0031 for details on how to remove the base plate). Figure 1 - Mounting Orientations Ballistic Tracking The ballistic tracking mode is an intuitive tracking algorithm that provides increased cursor resolution with fast ball movements whilst retaining the native resolution (846 counts per revolution) at slow tracking speeds. This feature enables more efficient...

The F50 Series trackball incorporates the latest Cursor Controls Ltd patented anti-vibration technology. The antivibration technology ensures that only intended ball movements are transmitted to the host system (i.e. when the user's hand is in contact with the surface of the ball). This feature eliminates any unwanted cursor motion resulting from ball movement caused by external shocks or vibrations. For additional information regarding this technology please refer to application note AN0037. At the start of each power cycle the anti-vibration feature will default to an inactive state until it...
