MEMTRON INPUT COMPONENTS

TrueTouch offers a solid basetouch control that provides robust and versatile perfor- mance in many environments.

OVERVIEW TrueTouch is switching technologybased on the principle of signal detection through capacitance or resistive coupling (human touch) of identified generated input pulses.The touch surface can be designedwith virtually any dielectric material including glass, plastic, polycarbonate, or any rough or smooth surface less than 25mm thick. Sensitivity isadjustable allowing operators toactuate the device with or without gloves. Because there are no moving parts, a TrueTouch switch is rated for more than five million cycles.TrueTouch technology provides cost-effective design alternatives to other switch technologies. Open architec- ture allows for easy integration or retrofit into a wide range of switch applications. APPLICATIONS • Medical Equipment • Factory Automation and Control Systems•Measuring Equipment• Industrial Process Controls •Environmental Control Interface Equipment •Commercial and Building Equipment • Kiosks and Point-of-Sale Interface • Computer and Peripherals • Household Appliance Controls KEY FEATURES • Touch Control Technology (solid state) • Touch surface can be any dielectric material including glass,plastic, polycarbonate, marble, and wood•Suitable for harsh environments •Custom graphics can be printed directly on touch surfaceor graphic overlay•Options include point source or flood backlighting •Tactile response is available • Adjustable key sensitivity permits use with or without gloves •Key size can be designed to customer requirements •Panel thickness up to 0.95 in. [24 mm] depending on materialand sensitivity• Compatible with contoured (non-flat) switching panels • Fully adaptable to any controller; no proprietary interface required • Easily integrated into existing control switch applications •Matrix outputs for seamless replacement and integration intomembrane applications
