This manual includes procedures that must be followed to operate the GP cor­rectly and safely . Be sure to read this manual and any related materials thoroughly to understand the correct operation and functions of this unit.
Safety Icons
Throughout this manual the following icons are provided next to GP operation procedures requiring special attention, and provide essential safety information. These icons indicate the following levels of danger:
Indicates situations where severe bodily injury, death or major equipment damage can occur.
Indicates situations where slight bodily injury or machine damage can occur.
System Design
• Do not create GP touch panel switches that could possibly endanger the safety of equipment and personnel. Damage to the GP, its I/O unit(s), cable(s), and other related equip­ment can cause an output signal to remain continuously ON or OFF and possibly cause a major accident. There­fore, design all monitoring circuits using limit switches, etc. to detect incorrect device movement. To prevent acci­dents related to incorrect signal output or operation, de­sign all switches used to control vital machine operations so they are operated via a separate control system.
• Please design your system so that equipment will not malfunction due to a communication fault between the GP and its host controller. This is to prevent any possibility of bodily injury or material damage.
• Do not use the GP unit as a warning device for critical alarms that can cause serious operator injury, machine damage or production stoppage. Critical alarm indicators and their control/activator units must be designed using stand-alone hardware and/or mechanical interlocks.
• The GP is not appropriate for use with aircraft control devices, aerospace equipment, central trunk data trans­mission (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.

Preface
WARNINGS
• Do not create switches used to control machine safety
operations, such as an emergency stop switch, or a GP touch screen icon. Be sure to install these switches as separate hardware switches, otherwise severe bodily injury or equipment damage can occur .
• When using the GP with : transportation vehicles (trains,
cars and ships), disaster and crime prevention devices, various types of safety equipment, non-life support re­lated medical devices, etc., redundant and/or failsafe sys­tem designs should be used to ensure the proper degree of reliability and safety.
Touch Panel
• After the GP’s backlight burns out, unlike the GP’s
“Standby Mode”, the touch panel is still active. If the op­erator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and touches the panel, a potentially dangerous machine op­eration error can occur.
If your GP's backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the follow-
ing steps to determine if the backlight is actually burned out.
1) If your GP is
not set to "Standby Mode" and the
screen has gone blank, your backlight is burned out.
2) Or, if your GP
is set to Standby Mode, but touching the screen does not cause the display to reappear, your backlight is burned out.
Also, use the GP’s built-in “USE TOUCH PANEL AFTER
BACKLIGHT BURNOUT” feature to prevent an accidental machine operation error. This feature can automatically detect a burnout and disable the touch screen.
Wiring
• To prevent an electric shock, be sure to confirm that the GP's power cord is not connected to the main power when connecting power lines to the GP.
• Be sure to replace the GP's plastic terminal block cover after wiring is completed, since operating the GP without the cover may lead to an electric shock
• Do not use power beyond the GP's specified voltage range. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock.
Preface
GP-2401/2501/2601 Series User Manual

Installation/Maintenance
• Be sure to securely connect all cable connectors to the GP. A loose connection may cause incorrect input or output.
Battery Replacement
• The GP uses a lithium battery for backing up its internal clock data. If the battery is incorrectly replaced, the bat­tery may explode. To prevent this, please do not replace the battery yourself. When the battery needs to be re-
placed, please contact your local GP distributor.
Installation/Maintenance
• High voltage runs through the GP. Except for replacing the backlight, never take apart the GP, otherwise an elec­trical shock can occur.
• Do not modify the GP unit. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock.
• Do not use the GP in an environment where flammable gasses are present, since operating the GP may cause an explosion.

WARNINGS
GP-2401/2501/2601 Series User Manual 9
Preface
Wiring
• Ground the GP's FG line separately from other units’ FG
lines. Putting these FG lines too close may cause an elec­tric shock or unit malfunction. Be sure to use a grounding resistance of 100
or less and a 2mm
2
or thicker wire, or
your country’s applicable standard.
• Be sure the GP's rated voltage is within the designated
range, and that the power terminal lines are correctly attached. If the voltage supplied differs from the rated voltage, or incorrect wiring or grounding is performed, it may cause a fire or unit malfunction.
• Use only the designated torque to tighten the GP's termi-
nal block screws. If these screws are not tightened firmly, it may cause a short-circuit, fire, or GP malfunction.
• Be careful that metal filings and wiring debris do not fall
inside the GP, since they can cause a fire, GP malfunc­tion, or incorrect unit operation.
Display Device/CF Card
• The liquid crystal panel contains a powerful irritant and if
for any reason the panel is damaged and this liquid con­tacts any part of your body, be sure to wash that area with running water for 15 minutes. If any of this liquid enters your eye, flush your eye for 15 minutes with running water and contact a physician.
• Prior to inserting or removing a CF Card, be sure the CF
Card ACCESS lamp is not lit. If you do not, CF Card inter­nal data may be damaged or lost.
• While a CF Card is being accessed, NEVER turn OFF or
reset the GP, or insert or remove the CF Card. Prior to performing these operations, create and use a special GP application screen that will prevent access to the CF Card.
Refer to GP-PRO/PB III for Windows Tag Reference Manual
(included in the screen editor software package)
Unit Disposal
• When this unit is disposed of, it should be done so ac-
cording to your country's regulations for similar types of industrial waste.

General Safety Precautions
• Do not strike the touch panel with a hard or pointed object, or press
on the touch panel with too much force, since it may damage the touch panel or the display.
• Do not install the GP where the ambient temperature can exceed the
allowed range. Doing so may cause the GP to malfunction or shorten its operation life.
• Do not restrict or limit the GP’s naturally occurring rear-face ventila-
tion, or store or use the GP in an environment that is too hot.
• Do not use this unit in areas where large, sudden temperature
changes can occur. These changes can cause condensation to form inside the unit, possibly causing the unit to malfunction.
• Do not allow water, liquids, metal or charged particles to enter inside
the GP’s case, since they can cause either a GP malfunction or an electrical shock. The allowable pollution degree is 2.
• Do not use or store the GP in direct sunlight, or in excessively dusty
or dirty environments.
• Do not store or use the unit where strong jolting or excessive vibra-
tion can occur.
• Do not store or use the GP where chemicals (such as organic sol-
vents, etc.) and acids can evaporate, or where chemicals and acids are present in the air.
Corrosive chemicals: Acids, alkalines, liquids containing salt Flammable chemicals: Organic Solvents
• Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the GP.
• Do not store or operate the LCD display in areas receiving direct
sunlight, since the sun's UV rays may cause the LCD display’s qual­ity to deteriorate.
• Storing this unit in areas at a temperature lower than is recommended
in this manual’s specifications may cause the LCD display’s liquid to congeal, which may damage the panel. Conversely, if the storage area’s temperature becomes higher than the allowed level, the LCD’s liquid will become isotropic, causing irreversible damage to the LCD. Therefore, be sure to store the panel only in areas where tempera­tures are within those specified in this manual.
• Do not connect or disconnect the communication cable between the
GP and the host while power is ON.
• Due to the possibility of unexpected accidents, be sure to back up
the GP’s screen data regularly.

Preface
About the GP's Display Panel
• The GP's currently displayed data, its voltage*1 and brightness set­ting each affect the intensity of
Contouring. (i.e, when some parts of
the screen are brighter than others, creating a wavelike pattern)
• There are minute grid-points (dark and light) on the Display Panel's surface. This is part of the GP's design and not a defect.
• Extended shadows, or "Crosstalk" may appear on the sides of screen images. This is normal for an LCD display.
• Sometimes the display area may look as if the display colors have changed.
This is a common attribute of LCD's and is not a defect.
• Displaying a single image for long periods can cause an afterimage to remain when the display is changed to another screen.
To prevent this effect:
Use the GP's "Stand-by Mode", which automatically turns the
screen OFF when there is no input for a specified period of time.
5.3.1 System Setup
• Write “FFFFh” to the System Data Area’s “Screen Display Off” address *2 to turn the screen display OFF when the following ac­tions are not performed for the user's designated period of time.
• Change Screen
• Touch Screen
• Alarm Display
Do not display any single screen for a long period of time. Try
to periodically change the screen display.
*1 If the GP's voltage is at the very low end of its allowable range, it may effect the
intensity of contouring.
*2 The following addresses assume all System Data Area settings are entered. If they are
not all entered, the correct word address may be different from those given here. With the Direct Access Method — use System Data Area word address +9 With the Memory Link Method — use System Data Area word address +12

Chapter 2 - Specifications
*1 The front face of the GP unit, installed in a solid panel, has been tested using
conditions equivalent to the standards shown in the specification. Even though the GP unit’s level of resistance is equivalent to these standards, oils that should have no effect on the GP can possibly harm the unit. This can occur in areas where either vaporized oils are present, or where low viscosity cutting oils are allowed to adhere to the unit for long periods of time. If the GP’s front face protection sheet becomes peeled off, these conditions can lead to the ingress of oil into the GP and separate protection measures are suggested. Also, if non­approved oils are present, it may cause deformation or corrosion of the front panel’s plastic cover. Therefore, prior to installing the GP be sure to confirm the type of conditions that will be present in the GP’s operating environment. If the installation gasket is used for a long period of time, or if the unit and its gasket are removed from the panel, the original level of the protection cannot be guar­anteed. To maintain the original protection level, you need to replace the instal­lation gasket regularly.

The GP's internal clock has a slight error. At normal operating temperatures and conditions, with the GP operating from its lithium battery, the degree of error is 65 seconds per month. Variations in operating conditions and battery life can cause this error to vary from -380 to +90 seconds per month. For systems where this degree of error will be a problem, the user should be sure to monitor this error and make adjustments when required.
