Safety Precautions

Understand the following definitions and precautions to use the product safely.

Safety Information

This document provides safety information using the following symbols to prevent accidents resulting in
injury or death and the destruction of equipment and resources. Understand the meanings of these
labels to operate the equipment safely.

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury or in property damage.

Handling Precautions

WARNING

Indicates dos and don'ts that are assumed to result in possible death or serious injury if they are
inappropriately handled ignoring this icon.

- Do not use this product in the presence of flammable or corrosive gases. This may lead to

explosion, fire, or damage to equipment.

- In the event of smoke, or abnormal smells or sounds, immediately turn OFF the power to this

device, disconnect the plug from the power outlet, and contact the manufacturer. Continued use
could lead to fire or electrical shock.

- Because of the danger of electrical shock or fire, do not contact this device(Other than the front

touch panel) while electrical current is present.

- Never touch this device or connectors with wet hands. This can cause electrical shock.

- Do not allow this device to come into contact with foreign substances (metal particles,

flammable substances, liquids, etc.) This can cause fire or electrical shock.

- Do not place this device in an unstable location or use incomplete mountings. This may cause the

device to fall.

- This device must be operated at the specified voltage. Use of any other voltage level may cause

fire or electrical shock.

- This device must be properly grounded.

- When attaching or removing expansion units, always be sure to unplug the power cable from the

electrical outlet.

- Users should never disassemble or modify this device, or exchange components. This can cause

fire or electrical shock. In addition, the manufacturer is unable to repair products that have been
modified by the user.

- Procedures that could result in serious injury or loss of human life should never be performed

from a touch panel. Use system design methods that can guard against input errors.

Hardware Manual 3

1. Introduction

CAUTION

Take the following precautions when handling this product.

- Do not use or store the product in a location exposed to extremely high or low temperature or
susceptible to rapid temperature changes.
Example: - Exposure to direct sun

- Do not use the product in extremely humid or dusty locations.
It is extremely dangerous to use the product with its interior penetrated by water or any other
fluid or conductive dust. If the product must be used in such an environment, install it on a
dust-proof control panel, for example.

- Avoid using or storing the device in locations subject to shock or vibration.

- Do not use the product in the vicinity of devices that generate strong magnetic force or noise.
Such devices will cause this device to malfunction.

- Do not use or store the product in the presence of chemicals.

- To clean the PANECON-PC, wipe it gently with a soft cloth dampened with either water or mild
detergent. Do not use chemicals or a volatile solvent, such as benzene or thinner, to prevent
pealing or discoloration of the paint.

- Do not use any sharp-pointed object such as a mechanical pencil to touch the touch panel.
Doing so may scratch the touch panel, resulting in malfunctions.

- Do not subject the touch panel to shock as doing so may break it.

- When the surface or frame of the touch panel has become dirty, wipe it with neutral detergent.
Do not wipe the touch panel with thinner, alcohol, ammonia, or a strong chlorinated solvent.
Use a protective sheet (available as an option) if the touch panel is used where it can easily
collect dust and dirt.

- Burn-in on TFT Display
"Burn-in" may occur if the same display is retained for a long time. Avoid this by periodically
switching the display so that the same display is not maintained for a long time.

* Burn-In: Phenomenon characterized by a TFT display as a result of long-time display

- It is a characteristic of analog touch panels that their resistance may vary with changes to the
ambient environment (temperature and humidity) and with their own aging, resulting in the
deviation of the detection point. If this is the case, calibrate the touch panel again to re-set
calibration data.

- Life expectancy of components

(1)Battery: A lithium-ion primary battery is used to back up the internal clock/calendar

- In the vicinity of a heat source

of the same screen where a shadow-like trace persists because electric charge
remains in the LCD element even after the patterns are changed.

and CMOS RAM. The non-energized backup time at 25°C is 10 years or
more.

4 Hardware Manual

1. Introduction

(2)LCD backlight: Display brightness decreases over time with use.

The operating lifetime of the backlight is as follows (the time until the
brightness is lowered to 50% of the initial value): 50,000 hours

(3)Touch panel: The operating lifetime of the touch panel is at least 1 million touches

(as tested by mechanical touching under 300 g of force at a rate of
two presses per second).

(4)Flash memory (NFDISK): The number of times of rewriting has restriction that is 300,000.

Since CF-CARD is used for Flash memory (NFDISK), When use
is carried out for the use that rewrites frequently, be careful of the
number of times of rewriting.

* CONTEC accepts your request for replacing each consumable in the PANECON-PC as a

request for repair (at an additional cost).

- If installed horizontally (with the LCD panel face up), the unit should be used at an ambient
operating temperature of not greater than 30 degrees centigrade.

- Be sure to turn off the power before plugging or unplugging any expansion board or connector.

- CONTEC reserves the right to refuse to service a product modified by the user.

- In the event of failure or abnormality (foul smells or excessive heat generation), unplug the
power cord immediately and contact the sales representative you purchased the product from or
the CONTEC Information Center.

- Use an AC cable that is compatible with both the rated supply voltage and the receptacle.

- This product contains a lithium battery as the primary cell and a cold cathode tube for the
backlight. When disposing of the product, therefore, treat it in accordance with the disposal
regulations stipulated by your local government.

Terminating resistor setting

When inserting a terminator, use the terminator setting switch (SW4). Set the terminator depending on
the remote device to which to connect the board. The board contains a 100Ω resistor as a terminator.
See Figure 3.5 for the presence or absence of a terminator for connection to the party line.

Individual bits correspond to different sig nal lines; bits 1 - 4 serve for CTS, RTS, RxD, and TxD,
respectively.

Setting method
To set the terminal to a resistor other than 100Ω, set the terminator setting switch to OFF and insert an

external terminator.
