YPP6830 Explosion-Proof Pulse Input Rate/Totalizer
SafeTouch Buttons
The YPP6830 is equipped with four sensors that
operate as through-glass buttons so that it can be
programmed and operated without removing the
cover (and exposing the electronics) in a hazardous
area. These buttons can be disabled for security by
setting the THRU-GLASS BUTTONS switch located
on the back of the display module to OFF.
SafeTouch Button Operation
To actuate a button, press and remove one finger
to the glass directly over the marked button area.
Remove finger to at least 4 inches away from the
window in between button activations. SafeTouch
and mechanical buttons may be held to cycle through
menus or digits in place of repeatedly pushing a
button.
SafeTouch Power Save Mode
SafeTouch buttons enter a power saving mode
after three minutes of inactivity. This mode is
indicated by the SafeTouch power symbol ( )
appearing in the lower right of the display. Only
the MENU button is monitored in this mode. To
activate the SafeTouch buttons, press and hold
the menu button for up to five seconds. The
display will read AWAKE, and the SafeTouch
buttons will be fully enabled.
SafeTouch Disabled Mode
When the cover is removed, the four mechanical
buttons located next to the sensors may be used.
The sensors are disabled when a mechanical
button is pressed and will automatically be re-
enabled after 60 seconds of inactivity. The
SafeTouch power symbol ( ) will blink in the
lower right of the display if the buttons are
disabled due to a mechanical pushbutton being
pressed.
•
SafeTouch will not work if two or more buttons
are detected as being pressed simultaneously.
Be careful to avoid triggering multiple buttons or
reaching across one button location to press
another.
SafeTouch Button Tips and
Troubleshooting
The SafeTouch Buttons are designed to filter normal
levels of ambient interference and to protect against
false triggering, however it is recommended that the
SafeTouch Buttons be turned off (slide THRU-GLASS
BUTTONS switch located on the back of the display
module to OFF) if there is an infrared interference
source in line-of-sight to the display or if the buttons
are not needed.
SafeTouch Button Tips:
• To the extent possible, install the display facing
away from sunlight, windows, reflective objects
and any sources of infrared interference.
• Keep the glass window clean.
• Tighten the cover securely.
• Use a password to prevent tampering.
• If the cover has not been installed and secured
tightly, it may take a moment for the SafeTouch
buttons to properly self-calibrate when the
cover is tightened.
After all connections have been completed and
verified, connect the ribbon cable to the display
module, fasten the display module to the base, install
enclosure cover, and then apply power.
SafeTouch Button Equalize Delay
The SafeTouch buttons are designed to
constantly recalibrate for ambient conditions.
When the cover position is changed, the cover is
removed, or an object is removed that was placed
over the front window, it may take a moment for
the SafeTouch buttons to recalibrate to the
change in conditions.
Allow up to 2 minutes for the SafeTouch buttons
to recalibrate to new conditions in these cases
where the cover position was changed, or the
front window is being unblocked.
