sequences longer than the minimum code length cannot
be specified, e.g. 12341234.
Typically the set switch will only be accessible from
inside the secured-access area, or will be implemented
as a key switch.
The code set by default is 123.
Lock, Lock#
The lock outputs control the access lock. These pins
can drive up to 25mA, sufficient for a small relay.
Click1, Click2
Connect to a buzzer to provide audio feedback:
These pins can drive up to 25mA, so a current limiting
series resistor may be required. This is the function of
R12 in figure 1, which also serves as a volume control.
Touch Pad Design
The touch pads need to be designed for maximum
capacitance when a finger is present, and minimum
capacitance when not present. The design shown in
figure 1 has been shown to be effective, with a track
width of 1.1mm and gap of 0.33mm. The overall pad
size should be at least 13mm square, with a minimum
gap between pads of 5mm.
No physical contact is required and the touch pads may
be overlaid with, for example, a label or thin acrylic
panel. Alternatively, the pad may be placed in an inner
PCB layer immediately below the exposed PCB surface.
Button presses are detected as a rise in capacitance in
one or two sense lines. Too high a trigger sensitivity
can be just as troublesome as low a trigger sensitivity.
Therefore the sensitivity setting may require adjustment
to suit a particular physical setup.
settings section below.)
To avoid ambiguity, it is important that fingers do not
induce
unnecessary routing tracks on the exposed surface of
the PCB. Apart from the touch pads, the circuit should
avoid being placed where fingers might get close. Avoid
metal enclosures.
Non-Volatile Settings
Various settings can be specified in the code memory at
programming time (see the Programming AccessTouch
section). Alternatively, they may be set in EEPROM
memory at a later date using a PIC programmer. The
EEPROM locations are shown in table 4.
