Zodiac – Keyboard card type 2 V – R0683400

The Zodiac Keyboard Card Type 2 V (R0683400) is an original manufacturer replacement PCB designed for Zodiac pool control and automation systems. This keypad interface card serves as the primary user-input board within compatible Zodiac control units, allowing the pool owner or installer to navigate menus, adjust settings, and operate connected pool equipment such as pumps, heating systems, and chlorination units. As a genuine Zodiac spare part, it is engineered to exact factory specifications, ensuring seamless compatibility and reliable performance within the intended system.

The card functions as the interface bridge between the physical keypad buttons and the main control board of the unit. When a key is pressed, the keyboard card registers the input and communicates it to the control electronics, enabling precise operation of the automation system. Being a Type 2 V variant, this card is specific to a defined generation of Zodiac control panels and should not be substituted with cards from other series without confirming compatibility.

Technical characteristics and installation context

The R0683400 is a printed circuit board assembly designed for direct installation within the housing of compatible Zodiac control units. It is referenced in Zodiac’s official REACh regulation declarations and Declaration of Conformity documentation, confirming it meets the applicable European regulatory standards for electronic components used in pool equipment. The card is listed alongside associated components including the Power Supply 140 W 240 VAC (R0682900), which provides context for the electrical environment in which this card operates — a mains-voltage 240 VAC system architecture. While exact board dimensions are not publicly specified, the card is a form-fit-function replacement intended for direct drop-in installation into the designated slot of the compatible control unit housing.

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or electrician familiar with pool automation systems. The control unit must be fully de-energised before any PCB replacement is attempted. This card is not a serviceable sub-component — it is replaced as a complete assembly when the keypad interface functionality of the control unit is degraded or non-functional.

Suitability and application

The Zodiac Keyboard Card Type 2 V is intended exclusively as a spare and replacement part for Zodiac pool control systems that originally incorporate this card type. It is suitable for residential and light commercial pool installations where Zodiac automation control units are deployed. This part is the correct choice when the existing keyboard card shows signs of failure such as unresponsive buttons, incorrect input registration, or visible physical damage to the PCB. Customers should verify their control unit model against Zodiac’s official compatibility documentation or contact Zodiac Pool Care directly to confirm fitment, as this card is model-specific and not universally interchangeable across all Zodiac control panel generations.
