button – instantly displaying a clear picture of
current conditions. Unique Power KeysTM function
as dedicated buttons and programmable ‘soft’ keys
add flexibility for configuration and set-up use. The
KMD 550 and KMD 850 also allow you to tailor
the view of each safety sensor for range, overlays,
etc., and remember your last setting so that you see
what you want to see, when you want to see it.

updated through a high-speed, high-capacity, front-
loading data card for quick and
easy database updates.
