4-Wire Analog Resistive Touch Screens
with Gold Plated Tails
Exceptional Continuity and Reliability
2017-10-23
Series FT
Touch Screens
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
• Expansion of FT Series includes wider, larger, narrow frame types with gold
plated tails, offering increased continuity and reliability
• Touch screens with gold plated tails have decreased tail width; connector
pins change from 8 pin with 1.25mm pitch to 4 pin with 1.0mm pitch
• Tail material upgraded to polyimide resin from polyethylene terephthalate
(PET), ensuring advanced flexibility, strength and resilience against heat
• Construction of film and glass with superior durability and flexibility
• Choice of input methods: finger or stylus
• Wide range of panel sizes and tail positions, including 5.7",
6.5”, 8.4”, 10.4”, 10.6", 12.1”, 15”, 15.6” and 19”
• Anti-Newton Ring (ANR) Technology eliminates many of the typical visual artifacts
• Operator can easily direct the device without specialized technical training or computer
knowledge by combining touch screen to LCD panel, plasma EL or other display
• Touch screens support flexible design, including digital and analog, in a variety of sizes and
relatively low cost
• Anti-glare surface reduces reflection from fluorescent lighting, sunlight; hard resin coating ensures
excellent protection against scratches or damage
• Adhesive layer between glass and film has improved durability to withstand diverse environmental
conditions

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
General Specifications for IC FTCSU548
• Interface: USB and RS232C
• High Speed and Accuracy
• Built-in Calibration Function
• Data Function Removal Built In to Eliminate Noise
The IC is for use with the 4-wire transparent touch screens.
When the screen is touched, it recognizes the position of the
touch by the level of analog voltage detected by the A/D. The
A/D converter receives the value and sends a set of coordinate
values as serial data or USB.
Contact NKK Switches for the IC data sheet.

STORAGE, HANDLING & INSTALLATION
Handling of Controller Board
• 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 outlined in the 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 the protocol above.
• Warranty for one year after delivery. NKK warranties the 4-wire touch panel when it is used with the NKK control board and driver.
Do not use third party control boards. NKK is not responsible for results of using damaged equipment with the controller boards.
• NKK Switches cannot assume responsibility for damages caused by software side during use of the touch screens.
• The touch screen pressed position may shift depending on various factors such as age, improper tail insertion or extreme tempera-
tures. In such cases, recalibration is necessary.
Installation
• Products are ESD sensitive and ESD protection is required.
• Do not pull on the tail. Do not apply stress to the tail area.
• Avoid vibration or shock. Avoid any force or stress that may cause deformation to the product.
• The touch screen mounting should not be loose. This may cause an adverse effect on detecting performance during operation.
• 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 not enter the keying area.

Case/Housing

Material
Installation (Continued)
• The case or housing and upper
electrode should have a space of
about 0.5 mm to accommodate
expansion or shrinkage due to
temperature variances. If a shock
barrier is used, do not press hard on
the upper electrode area. Any shock
barrier should be installed more than
0.6 mm away from A.

Example of Burr on Housing
Interferes with Operation at Point A
* Example: Double-sided Tape
• To secure the touch screen, secure the lower portion with a device such as the LCD display panel. Do not attach the upper electrode
with double-sided tape or similar product to avoid stress that can damage the upper or lower electrode.
• 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.
• Avoid air pressure applied to the touch screen as it may cause the top electrode to force air through the air vent, effecting electric
endurance. If pressure inside of the touch panel is reduced through the air vent, it may cause interference fringes or may remain in
ON status.
• Ensure that the glass is handled carefully to prevent breakage during installation.
• Moisture from condensation on tail connection or edges may result in migration, causing short circuit failure.
Handling Precautions
• When opening product, take precaution with up/down and front/back directions. Glass edges are not chamfered, and corners or
edges can be sharp. Wear gloves when handling the product.
• 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.
• When packing or storing, the glass should be positioned face up.
Operating Precautions
• Operate with fingers or a touch screen stylus only.
• Do not press hard with a pen or similar object between viewing area and key area.
Design Precautions
• With analog type, resistive value change (by aging or individual differences) can dislocate the input area. Input area can be
calibrated with software.
• When installing on top of an LCD, noise from the display device can create misoperation. To avoid noise, implement actions such as
grounding the display device frame.
• When used to draw a line, analog type will have a break at dot spacer. Compensate for this with software.
• Contact resistance may cause chatter depending on pressing condition. Software should detect signal after it stabilizes.
Other Precautions
• 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 where condensation may occur.
• Products are guaranteed based on evaluation of standards within the moisture tolerance and usage temperature range, but not
guaranteed to operate perpetually at this temperature.
• Calibration data from one touch panel should not be applied to another panel; each should be calibrated individually.
• Recalibration is necessary if connector has been removed from the tail and reconnected.
• All specifications based on the tested touch screens only. Evaluate the products after installation with customer's equipment.
