NOTICE
Equipment failure
Moisture and condensation lead to malfunction. Moisture in the form of condensation on or
in the device is formed:
• When transporting a device at low temperatures
• Under extreme temperature variations
Bring the device to room temperature before operating.
Condensation
When condensation is on the device, do not expose the HMI device to direct radiation from
a heater.
If condensation has developed, wait approximately 4 hours until the HMI device has dried
completely before switching it on.
The following points must be adhered to in order to ensure a fault-free and safe operation of
the HMI device:
● Proper transportation and storage
● Proper installation and mounting
● Careful operation and maintenance
The warranty for the HMI device will be deemed void if these stipulations are not heeded.
