Daylight suitable Multi Panel for control stations andoutdoor applications in hazardous areas.
The panel includes a daylight-readable and dimmable display,making it ideal for use in control stations, e.g. for drill pipes(oil & gas industry), ships (in shipbuilding), and other areas withoutshading, all the way to outdoor applications with the optionalTemperature Extension Kit (TEK). The required certificationsfor the shipbuilding industry are available.
