5-button multifunction keypad/display Explanation: at a guess. Interestingly enough, most of the google hits for the term are on Scandinavian sites (Swedish I think). refs: Passend zum System M bietet Merten einen Multifunktions-Taster mit Raumtemperaturregler an Wärmstens zu empfehlen: Multifunktions-Taster mit Raumtemperaturregler http://www.eib-home.de/merten_eib_multifunktionstaster_tempe... [text illustrated buy the following image:] http://www.eib-home.de/images /merten_multitaster_temperatur.jpg for a wry example, see: Multitaster deluxe 255 x 340 - 37k - jpg www.photocase.com -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2008-11-26 22:57:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I should qualify the above: most of the google image hits are on Scandinavian sites. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2008-11-27 09:09:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I added 'display' because on the image sites I see, a Multitaster seems to most commonly be a control module with several pushuttons performing various functions and (often) other display or control elements -- and if you have multifunction buttons, you need some way of knowing which function you are commanding or using, which means you need some form of indicator or display. Judging from the large number of hits on Scandinavian sites, it may originally have been a proper name invented by a Scandinavian machine tool manufacturer. Sample text: Und für den laufenden Betrieb gibt es den Multitaster. Er ist (neben dem Not-Aus-Schalter und dem Taster für die Beladequittung) in das Bedienfeld neben der Kabinentür integriert. Der Multitaster hat je nach Betriebszustand der Maschine wechselnde Funktionen. Sind die Türen geschlossen, werden sie mit diesem Taster geöffnet. Sind sie offen, lassen sie sich mit dem Multitaster schließen. Dasselbe gilt für den Produktionsablauf, der mit dem Taster unterbrochen oder fortgesetzt werden kann. http://www.maschinenmarkt.vogel.de/themenkanaele/produktion/... |
