Triad Controls, Inc.d UltraTouch system has been designed as a direct replacement for standard spring loaded mechanical palm buttons, and is designed to fit into the existing operator palm button stations without modification.

The UltraTouch enclosure is a molded high strength NEMA 4 polycarbonate module designed to meet the high impact and vibration requirements of industry. The solid state electronics of the UltraTouch switch incorporates an advanced redundant diverse sensor design. This means that each module has two different sensors with isolated circuits along with a monitoring redundant circuit. The circuitry of UltraTouch is also designed to provide second-order failure protection. This gives the UltraTouch an unparalleled level of safety and assurance against inadvertent actuation, or failing in the "on" or conducting mode, which is a common problem found throughout industry with competitive ergonomic switch replacements.

The UltraTouch design is so safe against inadvertent actuation, that two UltraTouch modules when spaced and located properly in accordance to OSHA and ANSI hand control distance formulas (the same formula is used for mechanical palm buttons), permit its use as an operator safety two hand control device. The Ultratouch dual dissimilar sensor format is designed for the machine operator to actuate the switch, and that no inadvertent foreign objects such as sleeves, insects, broomsticks, playing cards, rags, mists or droplets can activate or trigger the switch. This gives UltaTouch an unparalleled level of safety while giving the operator the benefit of using the correct ergonomic hand position of neutral, 0° deviation and 100% hand power.

Easy to Install
UltraTouch installs with ease and comes with complete installation instructions. Simple module design permits direct exchange for existing spring loaded mechanical palm buttons and even utilize the existing screw holes on the run bar. All systems have normally opened (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts, and are also available in a four (4) pole wiring configuration depending on the machine control requirements. The ultimate in versatility! New installations and retrofit projects are completely installed in minutes by a qualified electrician.
