Using Matrix Keypads

Using the Matrix Touch Panel Keypad

The Matrix touch panel keypads (FIG. 62) have a unique, touch sensitive LCD panel that has 12 individual “grids” (also called “touch fields”) that become different command buttons depending on what source and previous command was selected. It’s really the best of a KP-4e and numeric keypad all in a single unit, yet with even more customizable features as well as visual user feedback.

While this section of the Delta manual has some information about the user functions, full programming information can be found in the manual that is included with the Matrix Touch Panel Keypad.

Labeling the Keypad Grids

The Matrix touch panel keypads provide the ability to customize the following labels in the grids (also called “touch fields 1-12” - see FIG. 63):
