FT6 Display Panels

In a world of generic injection-molded control panels, the FT6 Display panel stands out as an exceptional, truly custom panel. Each FT6 begins as a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum, sculpted into an elegant, compact enclosure with computer-guided precision. Even the switch keys inside are computer-carved from of a solid square of milk-white plastic, designed to evenly transmit the panel’s constant LED illumination. Completing the custom touches are engraved keycaps, a choice of LED colors, and a wide selection custom-plated metal finishes.

Less than an inch in depth, the 2.125” by 4.75” FT6 snap-fits in to a variety of small spaces, including wood furniture and cabinetry, as well metal and plastic surfaces. Each of the six switches are constantly illuminated by two-color LEDs, available in amber/green or red/green colors. An eight-character amber LED text display brightly spells out source selections, today’s weather, and other system responses. A headphone jack for personal entertainment is available as an option.

Operated by RS-232 and simple ASCII commands and feedback and powered by 12 to 24 VDC power, the FT6 easily interfaces with custom control systems.

Featured in the luxury environments, aircraft, and yachts - as well as a number of American Airlines Admiral’s Clubs, the FT6 adds a touch of class to any custom installation..
