LITEK, INC. builds custom electronic products for software companies that wish to add hardware options to their product lineup.

   Your software product may need a remote Point-of-Entry-terminal to enter data, without the cumbersome dedicated PC at the remote location. It displays characters sent to it from your software, and it sends user respones to your host software in the form of keypresses and/or magnetic card swipes.

The keypad button layout (and the graphic layout of the entire face) is of your design supplied to us as an Illustrator file (sample file) (Template file).  Up to 8 LEDs can be placed on the graphic, and are often used to guide the user to which buttons are active in the current screen. Buttons can be placed on the sides of the screen, and can be used to select from screen menu options that you display.

A door strike relay is included, that operates upon command from your host software, allowing controlled access to facility.

Communication with the host PC (and your host software) is accomplished via choice of -
       1 - Serial port- with cable length up to 100+ feet
       2 - USB port - with cable length up to 14 feet (or 100+ feet with our inexpensive optional converter).
       3 - Ethernet - with use of user's installed network cabling. A green LED in upper left corner indicates a good network connection (a major aid to your support calls). This device can also be accessed with any web browser, in order to set device configurations.
       4 - Wireless - direct (or networked via Zigbee protocol) to your host, with ranges exceeding 1000 feet

Products are manufactured in the US by us (for 34 years), and our turnaround time is very good, because of our in-depth parts inventory, and because these terminals (and their software) are mature, with 10 years history, and so offer great reliability.

Warranty (parts and labor) is for the life of your software product that uses it, however we do charge a nominal fee for repairs due to wear, damage, or customer modifications that interfere with operation. Opening the case is easy, and does NOT void the warranty.

Drop us an email describing your need, and you will like our direct OEM pricing.

Video Services
    Since 1985, we have been documenting our own electronic assembly steps with photos and video taping.  Now we offer video documentation for local activities, such as music, sports, lectures, instructional methods, video brochures, and archiving older folks that have something to give or pass on to society.
    We do 1, 2 or 3 camera shoots, and edit with a Mac running Final Cut Pro. We are HD capable with Canon XL-H1 , XHA1 cameras, Arri Lights, sound mixer/amp, wireless mics, and intercoms.

Windtalker   (introduced 1984)
    The Windtalker IV monitors the wind direction, speed, and temperature, and answers phone inquiries from users. The Windtalker phone report is given in an attractive female voice. Callers can receive additional information by hitting touch tones on their phone dial. The sysop (system operator) can access remote control features by touch tone after entering the sysop access code.
    This model is no longer in production, but we support our existing customers with downloadable user manual, our shop repair service, and access to personal help via email or phone.

Perfect Estimator Program   (introduced 1983)
    This is Electrical Contractor job bidding software.that has been written in three languages and has won $millions in jobs over the last 20 years. It is a stable DOS program that also has been running satisfactorily in a DOS window in win95, and most installations of win98, but fails to run at all in win2k or XP. This program is no longer distributed in its present form, since it needs to be re-written to be compatible with today's operating systems. A re-write is underway, and PE will soon be downloadable at this site.

Variometer   (introduced 1977)
    A hang gliding flight instrument that indicates the vertical speed of the flight (rate of climb). It is not necessarily an information displaying instrument, but rather a device that is used actively to gain altitude. So, it was designed to be many times faster acting than the mechanical versions used in airplanes.
    This product has not been produced by us for many years, however, we still offer support in the form of repair service.
