Notes on operation
Note
Do not touch the touch screen during startup
The device automatically calibrates the capacitive multi-touch screen during startup. The
touch screen is locked during calibration.
Do not touch the touch screen during startup. Make sure that you do not rest on the touch
screen with the palm of your hand during startup.
Make sure that there are no conductive liquids on the touch screen during startup.
Note when operating the multi-touch screen:
● Surface contact with a diameter of about 5 to 20 mm is required for an operator action to
be detected.
● 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 more than 5 fingers.
– Surface contact with a diameter of > 3 cm, for example, resting the palm of the hand
– As soon as the touch screen is no longer touched, input is possible again.
Functions of the multi-touch screen
General functions
● Detection of up to 5 finger touches at a time.
● Detection of gestures that are supported by the operating system or the software installed
on the device.
Note
Multi-touch operation can provide advanced features or pose limitations depending on the
operating system and the software installed on the device. Read the corresponding
documentation.
● You do not need to calibrate the touch screen. Some operating systems do offer touch
calibration. However, this calibration does not result in an improvement of the accuracy.
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.
