DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Remove all power from the device before removing any covers or elements of the system, and prior to installing or removing any accessories, hardware, or cables. Unplug the power cable from both this product and the power supply prior to installing or removing the product. Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off where and when indicated. Replace and secure all covers or elements of the system before applying power to this product. Use only the specified voltage when operating this product. This product is designed to use 24 Vdc. Always check whether your device is DC powered before applying power. When using this product in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D hazardous locations, install this product in an enclosure that prevents the operator from touching the back of this product without the use of tools. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Critical alarm indicators and system functions require independent and redundant protection hardware and/or mechanical interlocks.

When you cycle power, wait at least 10 seconds after it has been turned off. If this product is restarted too quickly, it may not operate correctly.

In the event the screen cannot be properly read, for example, if the backlight is not functioning, it may be difficult or impossible to identify a function. Functions that may present a hazard if not immediately executed, such as a fuel shut-off, must be provided independently of this product. The machine's control system design must take into account the possibility of the backlight no longer functioning and the operator being unable to control the machine or making mistakes in the control of the machine.

WARNING

LOSS OF CONTROL The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes of control paths and, for certain critical control functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and after a path failure. Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop and overtravel stop, power outage and restart. Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions. System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of the link. Observe all accident prevention regulations and local safety guidelines. Each implementation of this product must be individually and thoroughly tested for proper operation before being placed into service. The machine control system design must take into account the possibility of the backlight no longer functioning and the operator being unable to control the machine, or making errors in the control of the machine. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

For additional information, refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition), "Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Control" and to NEMA ICS 7.1 (latest edition), "Safety Standards for Construction and Guide for Selection, Installation and Operation of Adjustable-Speed Drive Systems" or their equivalent governing your particular location.

WARNING

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION The application of this product requires expertise in the design and programming of control systems. Only persons with such expertise should be allowed to program, install, alter, and apply this product. Follow all applicable safety standard, local regulations and directives. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

WARNING

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION Do not use this product as the only means of control for critical system functions such as motor start/stop or power control. Do not use this equipment as the only notification device for critical alarms, such as device overheating or overcurrent. Use only the software provided with this product. If you use other software, please confirm the operation and safety before use. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

The following characteristics are specific to the LCD panel and are considered normal behavior:

• LCD screen may show unevenness in the brightness of certain images or may appear different when seen from outside the specified viewing angle. Extended shadows, or crosstalk may also appear on the sides of screen images.

• LCD screen pixels may contain black and white colored spots and color display may seem to have changed.

• When experiencing vibrations within a certain frequency range and vibration acceleration is above what is acceptable, the LCD screen may partially turn white. Once the vibration condition ends, the whitening of the screen is resolved.

• When the same image is displayed on the screen for a long period, an afterimage may appear when the image is changed.

• The panel brightness may decrease when used for a long time in an environment continuously filled with inert gas. To prevent deterioration of panel brightness, regularly ventilate the panel. For more information, please contact customer support.

WARNING

SERIOUS EYE AND SKIN INJURY The liquid in the LCD panel contains an irritant: Avoid direct skin contact with the liquid. Wear gloves when you handle a broken or leaking unit. Do not use sharp objects or tools in the vicinity of the LCD panel. Handle the LCD panel carefully to prevent puncture, bursting, or cracking of the panel material. If the panel is damaged and any liquid comes in contact with your skin, immediately rinse the area with running water for at least 15 minutes. If the liquid gets in your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
