1.5 The Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen
The Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen is based on Projected Capacitive
technology which enables the device to sense through a protective screen in front of the display. The
touchscreen electronic controller effectively divides the screen into sensing cells using micro fine
wires which are embedded into a glass laminate construction. These wires are connected to the
touchscreen controller circuitry, and an oscillation frequency is established for each wire. Touching
the glass causes a change in frequency of the wires at that particular point, the position of which is
calculated and identified by the controller. The controller then outputs the x-y touch co-ordinate via a
Serial or USB communication link. Unlike other capacitive systems where the operator touches the
actual conducting surface of the sensing panel, the active component of the Zytronic Projected
Capacitive X-Y Controller touchscreen is embedded within the glass laminate construction ensuring
long product life and stability.
The touchscreen can be supplied with options of anti-glare or anti-reflection coatings, thermal
toughening or chemical strengthening and privacy or contrast enhancement filters. The front glass of
the touchscreen acts as a dielectric and enhances the capacitance of the touchscreen.
The Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller touchscreen is durable and dependable; its
construction protecting against damage caused by moisture, heat, and vandalism.
1.6 Variants of the Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen
The Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen product is available in two variants
depending upon the application requirement. These two variants are:
¾Serial Controller – This controller outputs x-y co-ordinates of an applied touch in the
form of RS232 protocol.
¾USB Controller – This controller outputs x-y co-ordinates of an applied touch in the form
of USB protocol.
The above two variants are independent of each other and need to be requested during the initial
purchasing of the product.
1.7 Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen Driver Software
The Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen is connected to a host computer via a
Serial or USB connection. The Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen Driver
software is called the Universal Pointing Device Driver (UPDD). The UPDD allows the touchscreen
to interface with the host computer’s operating system and is the main interface to allow calibration to
take place and the settings of the touchscreen to be altered.

2.0 INSTALLING THE ZYTRONIC PROJECTED CAPACITIVE X-Y
CONTROLLER TOUCHSCREEN
This section of the manual presents several recommended integration guideline scenarios for the
Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen. The section is broken down in to sensor
integration and controller PCB integration.
Notes:
•Before integrating the Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen ensure that
the sensor and controller PCB are NOT connected to your computer or powered up.
•The following integration guidelines are typical recommendations.
•Correct integration of the Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen product
is vital to achieve correct performance.
•Metal work can have a detrimental effect on the performance of the Zytronic Projected
Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen if integrated incorrectly, therefore guidelines should
be followed.
•Integration diagrams outlined in this section are side profiles and are not to scale.
2.1 Typical Sensor Integration Guidelines
The Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen can be integrated in two possible
ways depending on the final application requirement. The two possible integration methods are:
¾Direct Touch Application – used for standard applications where an applied touch makes
direct contact with the front surface of the touchscreen.
¾Through Touch Application – used for through touch applications where the touchscreen
is placed behind a separate front piece of sacrificial glass or polycarbonate.
Figure 1, 2 and 3 all show typical recommended integration guidelines for the Zytronic Projected
Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreen.
Figure 1 illustrates a Direct Touch integration with a typical front bezel which can be made either
from plastic or metal.
Figure 2 illustrates a Through Touch integration with a front sacrificial glass and front bezel which
can be made either from plastic or metal.
Figure 3 illustrates a Through Touch integration with a front sacrificial glass only.
Critical points to note are;
¾Ensure the sensor is orientated the correct way with the front of the sensor being clearly
defined with a “view face” label (glass side is facing the user).
¾The spacing between the Display and the rear of the Touchscreen should be at least 3mm.
¾This 3mm spacing should be created using a double sided adhesive gasket (i.e. VHB tape or
some form of foam gasket). Layers of gasket may have to be built up to obtain the required
spacing. The important point here is that even under compression the uniform spacing should
remain at least 3mm.

Touchscreen User Manual – Issue 1
Zytronic X-Y Controller (Serial and USB) 9
¾Once the gasket has been fitted, the touchscreen should be secured on top of the gasket.
¾Make sure that the active area of the touchscreen is aligned with the viewable area of the
Display and that there is no excessive flexing or mechanical movement between the
touchscreen and the Display.
¾If a front bezel is to be fitted then this also must be spaced off the front of the touchscreen
using a 3mm double sided adhesive gasket. This 3mm gasket can be applied directly to the
edges of the touchscreen and the spacing must be maintained even under compression.
¾For metal bezels that are fitted to the front of the touchscreen, the installer must ensure that no
metal work is directly touching the surface of the touchscreen or active area.
¾Ensure that the front metal bezel and all metal work are correctly earthed to a known common
earth point using earthing straps.
¾Ideally the front metal bezel aperture should be a few millimetres wider all round than the
active area of the touchscreen. It is also recommended that the software that is to be executed
in the final application should have all critical activation buttons placed as least 10mm in from
the edge of the active area of the touchscreen, as illustrated in Figure 4. Activation buttons
should also be made a significant size for ease of use by the user. Avoid placing critical
activation buttons in extreme corners or edges of the touchscreen active area.
¾Having worked through this user manual and installed and set up the software, if the system
appears to be “noisy” i.e. the mouse pointer displays an unwarranted amount of random mouse
pointer movement with no applied touch, then experimentation may need to be carried out
with the spacing between the Display and touchscreen or touchscreen and metal work, i.e. the
spacing may need to be increased.

Note: For Through Touch application, placing two glass surfaces directly on top of each other may
cause an optical Newton Ring effect. This can be overcome by selecting a touchscreen construction
with an Anti-glare front glass surface etch or by simply placing a small air gap of less than 0.5mm
between the two affected surfaces.
Note: Maximum Through Touch application: If the base standard sensor front glass is 3mm
thick an additional 6mm of glass or 4mm or polycarbonate can be placed directly in front of the sensor
(with no air gap between the surfaces) to maintain reliable operation. Any greater thickness of overlay
would need to be experimented with at the customers discretion and own approvals.
2.2 Typical Controller PCB Integration Guidelines
All Zytronic Projected Capacitive X-Y Controller Touchscreens come with a controller PCB card that
is used to receive and process the signals from the sensor to determine the position of the applied
touch.
The two possible controller PCB variants are:
¾Serial RS232 connectivity controller PCB card.
¾USB connectivity controller PCB card.
Both variants are identical in foot print size and following the same integration guidelines.
The two controller PCB’s cards are illustrated in Figure 5 and Figure 6. Dimension information for
both can be found in Appendix A.

WARNING: Industry standard Anti Static procedures for electronic equipment must be
followed when handling the touchscreen sensor and controller PCB’s during all
stages of unpacking and installation of the product to prevent damage to the
product due to high levels of ESD. All integration should be carried out with the
equipment power switched OFF.
2.2.1 Controller PCB Card step-by-step Integration
¾The controller PCB card is designed to be integrated into the rear of the LCD panel housing
which the touchscreen sensor is used in conjunction with.
¾When selecting a place for the controller to be integrated within the rear of the LCD panel
housing please ensure the following:
oThe controller PCB card is located as far away as possible from sources of noise (i.e.
transformers, AC sources, motors, backlight inverters, etc) to minimise EMI
interference with the controller PCB card and its operation.
oEnsure that all cables used to connect to the controller and that are used within the
system are shielded.
oThe controller needs to be connected to chassis ground of the system via its four
corner mounting holes.
oThe sensor is connected to the controller PCB card via the on board 34-way ZIF
connected located on the opposite edge to the Serial and USB connection ports. The
integrator needs to ensure this connector is accessible to allow the sensor flexi tail to
be easily connected to the PCB without the need for folding or bending of the sensor
flexi tail.
¾To mount the controller the integrator will need four M3 screws and four compression/star
washers to connect to the four controller corner location holes to the chassis of the LCD back
plate. Ensure the screws and washers selected do not touch or short out with the near by
components located next to each of the four controller PCB corner mounting holes.
¾The controller MUST be spaced of the rear metal back plate of the LCD panel by using four
metal stand off posts. These stand off posts need to space the controller card off any metal
back plate in all four corners by at least 5mm.
¾Locate the controller in its desired mounting position using the four stand off posts. Use the
four M3 screws and washers to connect the four PCB corner mounting holes to the LCD metal
back plate, as shown in Figure 7. Take care not to short out any of the on board components
near the mounting holes and ensure the PCB controller card is not shorted out on the LCD
back plate.
¾If in some integration scenarios there is no metal back plate to ground the controller to chassis
ground then an external flying grounded braid lead must be used to connect at least one of the
Controller PCB mounting holes to the nearest chassis ground potential, as shown in Figure 8.
Ensure that the flying grounding lead is kept as short as possible.
¾A good chassis ground connection to the controller is important to establish stable operation.

2.3 Connecting the Sensor to the Controller PCB card and powering up the Device
Having successfully installed the sensor and controller PCB card, the next step is to connect the sensor
to the controller and power up the device.
2.3.1 Connecting the Sensor to the Controller PCB card
The sensor is connected to the controller PCB card via the flexi tail originating from the sensor. The
flexi tail is connected and secured to the controller PCB card using the on board ZIF connector.
To carry out this connection the following steps must be followed:
¾Ensure the locking bar of the PCB ZIF connector is open (i.e. vertical to the body of the
connector, as shown in Figure 9).
Figure 9: ZIF connector open with locking bar vertical to housing
¾With the PCB electronic components face you, ensure the sensor flexi tail is inserted into the
on board PCB ZIF connected straight with the gold fingers of the flexi tail also facing you, as
shown in Figure 10. It is important that the connection is made the correct way to prevent
incorrect operation.
Figure 10: Insert flexi tail into ZIF connector on PCB

Touchscreen User Manual – Issue 1
Zytronic X-Y Controller (Serial and USB) 16
•The flexi tail connectors will insert approx 3mm to 4mm into the body of the on board PCB
ZIF connector.
•With the flexi tail inserted into the ZIF connector, now push down the locking bar located
towards to back of the ZIF connector body. When the connector is fully locked in place the
locking bar should be completely horizontal with the body of the connector, as shown in
Figure 11. It is important that the connector is fully locked in place to prevent the flexi tail
slipping out of the ZIF connector.
Figure 11: Push down locking bar on ZIF connector to lock flexi tail in place
The sensor is now connected to the controller PCB card.
Points to note when routing the flexi tail to the controller:
•Ensure the flexi tail is routed as far away as possible away from sources of noise (i.e.
transformers, AC sources, motors, backlight inverters, etc) to minimise interference with the
controller PCB card and its operation.
•Ensure the sensor flexi tail is not severely clamped between sharp edges of metal work. If so
apply a thin gasket to the area in question to prevent the tail from being damaged, as shown in
Figure 12.
•Ensure the flexi tail routes directly to the sensor with minimum bends, ideally none at all.
•Although the flexi tail is fully shielded and immune to a certain extent to metal work, it is
worth where ever possible to avoid direct contact with metal work. This can be achieved by
insulating the tail with foam tape when direct metal contact with the tail is apparent.
•Do not bend the flexi tail to less than a radius of 2.5mm. The flexi tail can be damaged and
the touchscreen may not operate correctly if the flexi tail is severely creased.
WARNING: Do not bend the flexi tail to less than a radius of 2.5mm.

2.3.2 Powering up the Touchscreen Controller PCB card
Table 1 specifies the required power requirements for both the Serial and USB controller PCB card
variants:
Parameter Serial RS232 Controller USB RS232 Controller
Voltage (V) Powered from external
regulated power supply of
5V d.c. ± 5% (max)
Powered from USB VBUS of
5V d.c. ± 5% (max)
Current (mA) 100mA 100mA
Table 1: Power requirements for Serial and USB Controller PCB cards
As can be seen from the above table, the Serial RS232 controller is required to be powered from a
regulated external power supply. The USB controller pulls its power from the USB VBUS supply.
The input voltage quality is critical to the operation of both variants. Input voltage variations below
4.75v will cause product to not operate correctly.
IMPORTANT: A 5V d.c. ± 5% (max) Tolerance good regulated 100mA supply must be
used to power both Serial and USB controllers.

An example of a Serial lead interface is shown in Appendix B.
2.4 Controller Operational Status LED Indicators
The Serial and USB controller PCB cards both have Red and Green LED indicators located in the
bottom right hand corner of the PCB, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6.
The LED’s are a quick way of determining the controllers operational status when power is applied to
the controller.
During the power up cycle the following LED routine should be observed:
1. Apply power to the controller PCB card.
2. The Red LED should illuminate straight away – this indicates there is power to the devices on
the controller PCB card.
3. After the Red LED has illuminated within a time frame of up to a 5 second period the Green
LED should illuminate. The illumination of the Green LED indicates that the controller PCB
card has gone through its start up routine and the firmware on board the controller is being
executed correctly.
Failure to see either of the LED’s illuminate as described in the above sequence will indicate a
possible problem with either power supply to the board or an on board controller firmware issue.
