Zebra KYBD-QW-VC80-S-1 keyboard Medical USB QWERTY US English Black, Yellow

The Zebra KYBD-QW-VC80-S-1 is a full-size medical USB keyboard with a US English QWERTY layout, available in black and yellow. Based on the VH10 keyboard design, it provides 12 direct function keys and an additional 12 accessible via a shift function. The keyboard is built for demanding environments, offering dimmable backlit keys, IP66 protection, and an operating temperature range from -30 °C to +50 °C for reliable use in freezer and other condensing applications. Integrated heaters, a drainage system and an industrial keyboard controller with temperature compensation support error-free operation under heavy condensation and extreme conditions.

Advantages

The design meets shock and vibration standards (EN60721-5M3, MIL-STD-810F and internal Zebra testing) and includes a short 22 cm cable to allow installation close to the vehicle controller. Both the keyboard elastomer and cable are field replaceable, simplifying maintenance. The kit includes the QWERTY keyboard (KYBD-QW-VC-01) and keyboard cable (CBL-VC80-KBUS1-01), and the unit can be mounted on a keyboard tray (KT-KYBDTRAY-VC80-R) or via a RAM mount.

How to use

Connect the Zebra KYBD-QW-VC80-S-1 to a host device using the USB interface and position the keyboard close to the controller using the short 22 cm cable or mount it on the compatible keyboard tray or RAM mount. Adjust the backlight brightness as needed for visibility in low-light or freezer conditions. If condensation or ice forms, rely on the built-in heaters and drainage system to maintain operation; follow site procedures for defrost cycles and safe handling in cold environments.

Recommendations

For long-term reliability in condensing or freezer environments, ensure the keyboard is installed with proper drainage and that mounts do not obstruct ventilation. Use field-replaceable elastomer and cable parts for faster on-site service and follow Zebra maintenance guidelines for devices exposed to shock, vibration and extreme temperatures.
