DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
IC FTCSU548
The IC is for use with the 5- and 4-wire transparent touch screens,
and is available for those who prefer to design their own controller boards. 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.

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.
Pushbuttons
• 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.
Programmable Illuminated PB
• 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.
Keylocks
• NKK Switches cannot assume responsibility for damages caused by software side during use of the touch screens.
Rotaries
• 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.
Slides
• 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.

Tactiles
• 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.
L
• The case or housing and upper
electrode should have a space of
about 0.5mm 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
0.6mm 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.
• Remove protective film from the touch screen after installation is completed.

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.
Pushbuttons
• 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.
Programmable Illuminated PB
• Avoid stacking multiple products or placing other items on the product.
• When packing or storing, the glass should be positioned face up.
Operating Precautions
• Operate with fingers or a touch screen stylus only.
Keylocks
• Do not press hard with a pen or similar object between viewing area and key area.
Rotaries
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.
Slides
• When installing on top of an LCD, noise from the display device can create misoperation. To avoid noise, implement grounding the
display device frame.
• Do not create software for simultaneous touch points, 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.
Tactiles
• Contact resistance may cause chatter depending on pressing condition. Software should detect signal after it stabilizes.
Other Precautions
Tilt
• 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.
• 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.
L
Touch
• Do not store in an environment with acids or other corrosive gases or where condensation may occur.
• Note that an incorrect type of connector may damage the print surface.
Indicators
• 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.
Supplement
Accessories
• NKK Switches reserves the right to make product improvement changes without notice.
