Appendix 1 Specifications
 
Life expectancy  50,000 hours min. 
(See note 1.) 
75,000 hours min. (See note 1.)  50,000 hours min. 
(See note 1.) 
Brightness  
adjustment 
 
There are 3 levels of adjustment by operating the touch panel. (See 
note 2.)
 
Backlight 
(See note 4.)
Backlight error 
detection 
No detection 
function. 
Error is detected automatically, and the RUN indica-
tor flashes green as notification. (See note 3.) 
Front panel 
indicators
 
RUN 
Lit green:  PT is operating normally.  
Flashing green:  The Memory Card transfer has ended normally or a 
backlight error was detected immediately after power 
was turned ON. (Backlight errors are not detected for 
the NS5-V1.) 
Lit orange:  Immediately after power turns ON, indicates file sys-
tem check in progress, battery low, or disconnected 
and operating normally.  
Flashing orange:  Memory Card transfer in progress.  
Flashing red:  Memory Card transfer has ended abnormally. 
 
Note  1.  This is the estimated time before brightness is reduced by half at room temperature and 
humidity. It is not a guaranteed value. (It is based on the middle brightness setting using 
the NS8.) 
The life expectancy will be drastically shortened if PT is used at low temperatures. For 
example, using the PT at temperatures of 0
°C will reduce the life expectancy to approxi-
mately 10,000 hours (reference value).  
  2.  The brightness cannot be adjusted much.  
3.  This function does not detect service life expectancy.  
It detects when the backlight is not lit due to a disconnection or other errors. Backlight er-
ror detection indicates that all backlights (2) are OFF.  
4.  Contact your nearest OMRON representative to replace the backlight. 
5.  There may be some defective pixels in the display. This is not a fault as long as the 
numbers of defective light and dark pixels fall within the following standard ranges.  
 
Model Standard range 
NS12-TS@@-V1/-V2 
NS10-TV@@-V1/-V2 
NS8-TV@@-V1/-V2 
Number of light and dark pixels: 
10 or less. (Must not be 3 consecutive.) 
NS5-SQ@@-V1/-V2 
NS5-MQ@@-V1/-V2 
NS5-TQ@@-V1/-V2 
Number of light and dark pixels: 
4 or fewer defects the size of 0.2 < (minor axis + major axis) 
/ 2 ≤ 0.55 mm (within 1 per 20-mm square)
