5.4 Operating a touch/key device
Notes on operation
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 lead to
improved 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.

Operating a touch/key device
Note
Maloperation
If you activate several keys simultaneously, a malfunction on the device cannot be excluded.
Only press the function keys one after the other.
Malfunctions of the user software
Always use security features of the KeyTools for security reasons. If you disable them,
nevertheless, serious malfunctions of the user software may occur when the additional
function keys F1 to F36 are used or if custom key code tables are used.
Risk of damage
Activating a key using a hard or pointed object, for example a screwdriver, reduces the life of
the key or can damage it.
