Below are some general precautions for the 5-wire & 4-wire touch screen devices. Please check web site for complete documentation.
Installation (4-wire, 5-wire)
• Do not pull on the tail. Do not apply stress to the tail area.
• Avoid vibration or shock.
• The touch screen mounting should not be loose.
• Ensure there are no burrs around the edges of the case or housing that can cause false actuation. The edges of the case or housing should
• The case or housing and upper electrode should have a space of about 0.5 mm to accommodate expansion or shrinkage due to humidity
• To secure the touch screen, secure the lower portion with an item such as the LCD display panel. Do not secure the upper electrode with
• In order to balance upper and lower pressure, an air vent may be installed. Ensure that no liquid or oil will enter into the device.
Handling Precautions (4-wire, 5-wire)
• When opening product, take precaution with up/down and front/back directions. Glass edges are not chamfered, corners or edges can
• Do not pick up the product by the tail or pull the tail area.
• Use gloves or finger cots to prevent fingerprints on surface.
• When handling the product, hold it outside of the viewing area.
• Avoid stacking multiple products or placing other items on the product.
• Remove protective film after installation is completed.
Operating Precautions (4-wire, 5-wire)
• Only operate with fingers or a touch screen stylus.
• Do not press hard with pen or similar objects between viewing area and key area.
Design Precautions (4-wire, 5-wire)
• With analog type, resistive value change can dislocate the input area. Input area can be calibrated with software.
• When installing on top of a LCD, noise from the display device can create misoperation. To avoid noise, implement actions such as
• Do not create software for two point touch as analog type will read the center point between two touch points.
• When used to draw a line, analog type will have a break at dot spacer. Compensate for this with software.
Other Precautions (4-wire, 5-wire)
• Clean with a soft cloth and ethanol. Do not use any cleaning agents other than ethanol.
• Store product in original package and store at the temperature and humidity range specified.
• Do not store in an environment with acids or other corrosive gases or dew.
• Not suited for use in critical control systems such as nuclear power, aerospace, medical or transportation equipment, without
Handling Precautions (5-wire)
• NKK warrantees the 5-wire touch panel when it is used with the NKK control board and driver. Do not use third party control boards.
• 5-wire devices can misalign cathode position or touch position even after calibration. See web site for details.
• Create a larger input area. If you have the input button at the edge of a screen, it might not operate properly.
• Complete 9 point calibration with NKK driver. If more precision is desired, 25 point calibration is recommended.
Handling of Controller Board (5-wire)
• Warranty for one year after delivery. We do not warrantee the controller board unless used with NKK touch panel.
• Use arc prevention to protect device from static electricity.
• Power source should be activated after host and touch panel are connected.
• When inserting connector CN1 and touch panel tail, be sure the slider of connector CN1 is pulled. Do not pull more than 10 times.
• Do not alter the product.
• Do not use any commands other than the ones specified in specifications.
• Place the product away from noise source (such as inverter from LCD operation) since tail can be affected by noise.
• If device driver (USB) does not work after installation, reboot the host computer while connected to the controller board.
• This product does not support suspended mode (USB).
• Protocol of USB transmission is one frame per one transaction.
• Contact factory if not using protocol above.
