CZone 12-Way Waterproof Keypad (Portrait)

Submersible 12-Way Digital Switching Control for Marine and Off-Grid Dashboards

Managing multiple electrical circuits in harsh environments requires hardware that can withstand moisture, vibration, and constant use. The CZone 12-Way Waterproof Keypad in a portrait orientation replaces bulky, traditional mechanical switch panels with a streamlined, digital switching interface. Engineered for marine vessels, caravans, and specialised recreational vehicles, this keypad consolidates 12 individual circuit controls into a compact footprint while integrating seamlessly into a CZone digital control network.

Unlike standard rocker switch panels that require complex wiring looms behind the dash and remain vulnerable to water ingress, this keypad features a fully sealed IPX7 waterproof and submersible enclosure. Whether mounted on an exposed centre console boat, a flybridge, or an off-road camper trailer exterior, it reduces the risk of electrical shorts and corrosion caused by salt spray, rain, or washdowns.

At-a-Glance Diagnostics and Customisable Illumination

Operating a vessel or vehicle at night demands clear visibility without compromising night vision. This unit incorporates dimmable RGB circuit backlighting, allowing operators to match the keypad illumination to existing helm or dashboard instrumentation. Each of the 12 tactile buttons is paired with dedicated circuit-in-operation LEDs, providing immediate visual confirmation of active loads.

To reduce troubleshooting time during critical moments, the keypad features integrated blown-fuse fault indication. Rather than manually inspecting fuse blocks to locate a fault, the status LEDs alert you directly at the helm when a circuit issue occurs. A standard label sheet is included, enabling clear, personalised identification for pumps, lighting, navigation gear, and auxiliary accessories.

Streamlined Installation and Versatile Mounting

Traditional 12-circuit switch panels require dozens of individual crimps, heavy-gauge wires running to the helm, and large dashboard cutouts. The CZone keypad simplifies installation through a single plug connection and a single network cable, significantly reducing behind-dash clutter, installation labour, and potential points of failure.

Designed to complement modern helm and cabin aesthetics, the slimline bezel supports three distinct installation methods:

• Front Mounting: Achieves a clean, low-profile look using a standard 2-1/16" (Approx. 52mm) hole saw cutout, avoiding complex rectangular routing.
• Rear Mounting: Creates an ultra-modern, flat glass-dash style finish where only the keypad buttons remain visible on the surface.
• Flush Mounting: Integrates smoothly into custom fascia panels for a factory-fitted appearance.

Key Features and Benefits

• 12-Way Portrait Layout: Maximises circuit control density in narrow dashboard spaces or pillar mounts.
• IPX7 Submersible Rating: Protects internal electronics against water immersion, spray, and damp marine conditions.
• Dimmable RGB Backlighting: Customisable colour and brightness levels for optimal day and night visibility.
• Integrated Fault Diagnostics: Circuit-in-operation LEDs double as blown-fuse indicators for rapid system monitoring.
• Single-Cable Connectivity: Connects to the CZone network via a single plug, eliminating complex wiring harnesses at the helm.
• Customisable Labelling: Supplied with a standard label sheet to clearly mark specific vessel or vehicle functions.
