Notes on operation
Note when operating the capacitive single-touch screen:
•Surface contact with a diameter of about 5 to 20 mm is required for an operator action to
be detected.
Touch the touch screen with the finger tip, vertically to the surface.
•An operation with gloves with a material thickness of <2 mm is detected in most cases.
However, check the usefulness of the gloves you are using.
•To avoid incorrect operation, certain inputs are ignored and blocked from further entry:
–Simultaneous operation with several fingers: The first finger is detected, other touches
are ignored.
–Input is disabled by a surface contact with a diameter of > 3 cm, for example, resting
the palm of the hand on the touch screen. As soon as the touch screen is no longer
touched, new input is possible again.
Functions of the capacitive single-touch screen
General functions
•You do not need to calibrate the touch screen. For this reason, the "Touch" tab in the
"OP Properties" dialog is not available for the PCT devices.
•Touch screen operation analog to the operating options that are available for devices with
resistive single touch screen.
Security functions in an industrial environment
The touch screen is locked for security reasons when following happens:
•There is a conductive liquid on the touch screen with ground contact via the enclosure or
the operator, for example.
•Electromagnetic interference is present that exceeds the specification according to EN
61000-4-2.
Once the interference is over, the touch screen is no longer locked.
