CAUTION
DANGER
• Never use the input function of POD for operations that may threaten human life or to damage the system,
such as switches to be used in case of emergency. Please design the system so that it can cope with
malfunction of a touch switch. A malfunction of the touch switch will result in machine accident or damage.
• Turn off the power supply when you set up the unit, connect cables or perform maintenance and inspection.
Otherwise, electrical shock or damage may occur.
• Never touch any terminals while the power is on. Otherwise, electric shock may occur.
• You must put a cover on the terminals on the unit when you turn the power on and operate the unit. Without
the terminal cover in place, an electric shock may occur.
• The liquid crystal in the LCD panel is a hazardous substance. If the LCD panel is damaged, never swallow
the leaked liquid crystal. If the liquid crystal spills on your skin or clothing, use soap and wash off thoroughly.
• For POD using a lithium battery, never disassemble, recharge, deform by pressure, short-circuit, nor reverse
the polarity of the battery, and never dispose of the battery in fire. Failure to follow these conditions will lead
to explosion or ignition.
• For POD using a lithium battery, never use a battery that is deformed, leaks, or shows any other signs of
abnormality. Failure to follow these conditions will lead to explosion or ignition.
CAUTION
• Check the appearance of the unit when it is unpacked. Do not use the unit if any damage or deformation is
found. Failure to do so may lead to fire, damage or malfunction.
• For use in a facility or for a system related to nuclear energy, aerospace, medical, traffic equipment, or
mobile installations, please consult your local distributor.
• Operate (or store) POD under the conditions indicated in this manual and related manuals. Failure to do so
could cause fire, malfunction, physical damage or deterioration.
• Understand the following environmental limits for use and storage of POD. Otherwise, fire or damage to the
unit may result.
- Avoid locations where there is a possibility that water, corrosive gas, flammable gas, solvents, grinding
fluids or cutting oil can come into contact with the unit.
- Avoid high temperature, high humidity, and outside weather conditions, such as wind, rain or direct
sunlight.
- Avoid locations where excessive dust, salt, and metallic particles are present.
- Avoid installing the unit in a location where vibration or physical shock may be transmitted.
• Equipment must be correctly mounted so that the main terminal of POD will not be touched inadvertently.
Otherwise, an accident or electric shock may occur.
• Tighten the fixtures of the POD with a torque in the specified range. Excessive tightening may distort the
panel surface. Loose tightening may cause POD to come off, malfunction or be short-circuited.
• Check periodically that terminal screws on the power supply terminal block and fixtures are firmly tightened.
Loosened screws may result in fire or malfunction.
• Tighten terminal screws on the power supply terminal block equally to a torque of 0.5 N•m. Improper
tightening of screws may result in fire, malfunction, or trouble.
• POD has a glass screen. Do not drop or give physical shock to the unit. Otherwise, the screen may be
damaged.
• Connect the cables correctly to the terminals of POD in accordance with the specified voltage and wattage.
Over-voltage, over-wattage or incorrect cable connection could cause fire, malfunction or damage to the
unit.
• Be sure to establish a ground of POD. Ground FG terminal which must be used for the unit. Otherwise,
electric shock or a fire may occur.
• Prevent any conductive particles from entering into POD. Failure to do so may lead to fire, damage or
malfunction.
• After wiring is finished, remove the paper used as a dust cover before starting to operate POD. Operation
with the cover attached may result in accident, fire, malfunction, or trouble.
• Do not attempt to repair POD at your site. Ask us or the designated contractor for repair.
• Do not disassemble or modify POD. Otherwise, it may cause a malfunction.
• Fuji Electric FA Components & Systems Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damages resulting from repair,
overhaul or modification of POD that was performed by an unauthorized person.
• Do not use a sharp-pointed tool when pressing a touch switch. Doing so may damage the screen.
• Only experts are authorized to set up the unit, connect the cables or perform maintenance and inspection.
• For POD using a lithium battery, handle the battery with care. The combustible materials such as lithium or
organic solvent contained in the battery may generate heat, explode, or catch fire, resulting in personal injury
or fire. Read related manuals carefully and handle the lithium battery correctly as instructed.
• When using a POD that has analog switch resolution with resistance film, do not press two or more points on
the screen at the same time. If there is a switch between the two pressed points, it may be activated.
• Take safety precautions during such operations as setting change during running, forced output, start, and
stop. Any misoperation may cause unexpected machine motions, resulting in machine accident or damage.
• In facilities where a failure of POD could lead to accident threatening human life or other serious damage, be
sure that the facilities are equipped with adequate safeguards.
• At the time of disposal, POD must be treated as industrial waste.
• Before touching POD, discharge static electricity from your body by touching grounded metal. Excessive
static electricity may cause malfunction or trouble.
[General Notes]
• Never bundle control cables and input/output cables with high-voltage and large-current carrying cables such
as power supply cables. Keep these cables at least 200 mm away from the high-voltage and large-current
carrying cables. Otherwise, malfunction may occur due to noise.
• Plug connectors or sockets of POD in the correct orientation. Otherwise, it may cause a malfunction.
• Do not use thinners for cleaning because they may discolor the POD surface. Use alcohol or benzine
commercially available.
• If a data receive error occurs when POD and the counterpart (PLC, temperature controller, etc.) are started at
the same time, read the manual for the counterpart unit and handle the error correctly.
• Avoid discharging static electricity on the mounting panel of the POD. Static charges can damage the unit and
cause malfunctions. Otherwise, malfunction may occur due to noise.
• Avoid prolonged display of any fixed pattern. Due to the characteristics of the liquid crystal display, an
afterimage may occur. If a prolonged display of a fixed pattern is expected, use the auto OFF function of the
backlight.
