Pro-face GP37W2-BG41-24V User Manual

• When connecting the GP37W2-BG41-24V(hereafter referred to as the
"GP")'s
power cord terminals to the power terminal block, check first
that the GP power supply is completely turned OFF, via a breaker, or
similar unit.
• Do not use power beyond the GP's specified voltage range. Doing so
may cause a fire or an electric shock.
• Do not modify the GP's design, since it may lead to a fire or an electric
shock.
• Do not use the GP in an environment where flammable gases are
present, since operating the GP may cause an explosion.
• If the GP's lithium battery
*1
is incorrectly replaced (i.e. its + and – sides
are reversed), it may explode. Therefore, please contact your local GP
distributor prior to changing the battery.
• Do not use GP touch panel switches in life-threatening or important
disaster prevention situations. For safety related switches, such as
an emergency stop switch, be sure to use a separate mechanical switch.
• To prevent operator injury or machine damage, be sure to design your
system so that machinery will not malfunction due to a communication
fault between the GP and its host controller.
• The GP is not appropriate for use with aircraft control devices, aerospace
equipment, central trunk data trans-mission (communication) devices,
nuclear power control devices, or medical life support equipment, due to
these devices inherent requirements of extremely high levels of safety
and reliability.
• When using the GP with transportation vehicles (trains, cars and ships),
disaster and crime prevention devices, various types of safety equipment,
non-life support re-lated medical devices, etc. redundant and/or failsafe
sys-tem designs should be used to ensure the proper degree of reliability
and safety.
GP Usage Cautions
• To prevent touch panel damage, do not strike the panel face with a
hard or heavy object, or push hard on the panel face.
• Do not install the GP where the temperature will exceed its specified range.
• Do not allow water, liquids or metal particles to enter the GP. Any of
these can lead to a malfunction or short circuit.
• Avoid installing the GP where sudden, large changes in temperature
may occur. These changes may cause condensation to form inside
the unit, possibly causing the GP to malfunction.
• Do not install the GP where its ventilation holes may be blocked. If
these holes are blocked, excessive heat will build up inside the GP.
• Do not install or store the GP :
- Where high levels of dust exist or in direct sunlight.
- Where either strong shocks or excessive vibration may occur.
- Where chemicals or chemical fumes are present.
- Near high temperature equipment.
• Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the GP's case or
screen.
• Be sure to back up all GP data regularly.
• After turning the GP OFF, be sure to wait a few seconds before turning
it ON again. If the GP is re-started too quickly, it may not start up cor-
rectly.
