Hand-Held Data Terminal for Alpha-Numeric data entry and/or lookup.
Attaches to the TR-1 scale indicator for extended data and memory applications.

The TechTerm is the low-cost member of the Two Technologies' family of hand held terminals. It is a rugged, fully functional ASCII terminal that is specifically designed for industrial applications. The TechTerm is flexible with menu-programmable function keys that can transmit a total of fifteen selected characters. Host equipment has direct control using private escape sequences. Host control includes cursor movement and appearance (clearing all or part of the display), key click audibility, and the sounding of one of four distinct signals from the TechTerms' built-in speaker. Function key definitions and operating parameters are stored in non-volatile memory. Available I/O configurations include RS-232, and RS-422 as well as standard CMOS/LSTTL logic levels. Built-in battery power, with a full charge providing up to forty-eight hours of operation, is optional.

As with all Two Technologies' hand held terminals, the TechTerm is remarkably rugged. Its case is molded from General Electric Cycolac® ABS, one of the most durable, chemical-resistant materials available. A unique built-in retractable hanger is provided. The keypad surface is securely framed and clamped into place to ensure excellent splash resistance and prevent curling or peeling of the keypad overlay. Stock and custom keypad layouts with 45, 32, 30, 20, and 15 keys are available.
