for Correct Use
• Pressing Three Switches Simultaneously
Reference
When the positions of multiple touch switches are set as shown in the example and
three switches are pressed simultaneously, the touch switches will malfunction due to
structural characteristics.
Position the touch switches carefully. In the example shown below, switches have been
created in positions A and B, and at points C and D, where the vertical and horizontal
lines through A and B intersect.
