Weatherproofing 5207 LCD Keypad

[Dylan]

I have a 5207 LCD Keypad installed outside but as they aren't weatherproof, I've got it wrapped in plastic and it is currently inaccessable.

Does anyone have any solutions for weatherproofing the keypads or know of a decent looking enclosure?

Whoooa your keen there Dylan. Probably the best solution would be to visit your local perspex shop and have a shroud custom built for the purpose, similar to the front door stations of intercoms.

Or if you don't have a perspex shop handy then an outlet that sells intercoms in your area should have a shroud or know where to source one from that will do the trick.

Other than that remove it and come up with an alternative solution. The plastic has to go..!

Thanks for the ideas. I'll post back here if I find a solution.

Have you seen the silicon keyboard covers that they use for PC keyboard covers in dirty situations like factories? They are moulded to fit the specific keyboard because they are all different sizes. Someone in Australia makes them (not sure where you're located) because I bought some a few years ago. You would have to check out how well they wrap around the rear and then silicon it to the wall or something but it should be a relatively attractive and robust solution… just an idea.

Thanks for that suggestion. I'll keep it in mind for when I finally get around to installing the keypad.
