The SM keypad is a highly reliable and durable accessory that simplifies interaction with the drive through its user-friendly interface and robust features.

LCD Display for Real-Time Monitoring

Enhanced Security with Passcode Protection

The SM keypad includes an optional passcode feature for applications where security is a priority.
