Abstract

See full text

A touch sensitive control interface for a controlled device includes a panel defining an interface area configured to selectively input command instructions of an operator of the device. The panel includes a primary touch sensor portion configured to receive an activation signal and a secondary touch sensor portion configured to receive a contamination signal. The primary and secondary touch sensor portions are normally isolated from one another, and the primary and secondary touch sensor portions are coupled to one another upon a presence of a contaminant such that the primary touch sensor portion senses the contamination signal.
