12.3 Durability
Unlike the resistive touchscreen the Pcap has no top membrane and presents a solid toughened
glass surface to the user making it virtually immune to damage by objects such as pens,
screwdrivers, broken styli, gritty and mud covered gloves, which have been known to be used as
touch input devices. It is rated for normal use in the temperature range of -40C to +60C, operating
correctly even with frost on the surface.
12.4 Precautions
For outdoor use the Pcap touchscreen must be protected from rain and snow as excessive
standing or running water will disrupt operations causing erratic cursor movement and other
undesirable actions. Likewise for indoor operation the Pcap touchscreen should be protected from
the possibility of spraying water from a process or activity where this is possible. While the unit
is switched off the Barracuda fitted with a Pcap touchscreen can be washed down by hand or low
pressure washers without harm. Typically a sunshade or installation in a doghouse or other roofed
structure provides enough protection for land based outdoor use. For offshore use the installer
must take into account driving winds, sea spray and rain, mounting the unit in a way to protect the
face of the unit from the potential of running or pooling water.
