Equinox 40 LCD Keypad – MODEL: EQ40TB-TI-II
Overview
Vantage's Equinox 40 LCD Keypad has been
designed to be located in the same space as a
traditional keypad, installed in a single gang wall
box. Scalable designs from one, two, or three
pages allow a perfect fit in most areas. Each
keypad can be configured with three
independent mini-widgets, making this an
eloquent choice for areas where lighting, AV
control, climate control, etc., are wanted, without the added
cost of a fully functional touchscreen or the wall clutter of
multiple gang keypads. Equinox 40 introduces Vantage’s
commitment to a consistent user experience interface across
touchscreens, tablets, and smart phones. The interface uses
intuitive gestures; swipe left and right to change pages, touch
and release for normal button operation, or press and hold for
dim-cycle, volume controls, etc.
