ANSI/IEEE Touch-sensitive switch form

IEEE-library form of touch-sensitive switch: a touch-switch representation identifies operation by the documented touch-sensing mechanism.

In plain English

What does ANSI/IEEE Touch-sensitive switch form mean?

This reference locates touch-sensitive switch in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented touch switches family. A touch-switch representation identifies operation by the documented touch-sensing mechanism. The public library uses HPX1TS for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

A simple example

Read the operating mechanism and the contact reference state together. Cross-reference every associated contact to the same device and show which movement, signal or reset changes its condition; the symbol alone does not establish the complete switching sequence.

What the drawings help you do

State the sensing role and separate power/output interfaces. Touch operation is distinct from a mechanical pushbutton mechanism. State the sensing role and separate power/output interfaces. Touch operation is distinct from a mechanical pushbutton mechanism. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted.
