electrical shock or damage may occur.
• Never touch any terminals while the power is on. Other wise, electrical shock may occur.
• You must cover the terminals on the unit before turning the power on and operating the unit. Otherwise, electrical shock may occur.
• The liquid crystal in the LCD panel is a hazardous substance. If the LCD panel is damaged, do not ingest the leaked liquid crystal. If
leaked liquid crystal makes contact with skin or clothing, wash it away with soap and water.
• Never disassemble, recharge, deform by pressure, short-circuit, reverse the polarity of the lithium battery, nor dispose of the lithium
battery in fire. Failure to follow these conditions will lead to explosion or ignition.
• Never use a lithium battery that is deformed, leaking, or shows any other signs of abnormality. Failure to follow these conditions will
lead to explosion or ignition.
• Switches on the screen are operable even when the screen has become dark due to a faulty backlight or when the backlight has
reached the end of its service life. If the screen is dark and hard to see, do not touch the screen. Otherwise, a malfunction may occur
resulting in machine accidents or damage.
• 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 as part of a system related to nuclear energy, aerospace, medical, traffic equipment, or mobile installations,

• Operate (or store) the V9 series under the conditions indicated in this manual and related manuals. Failure to do so could cause fire,
malfunction, physical damage, or deterioration.
• Observe the following environmental restrictions on use and storage of the unit. 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 temperatures, 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 vibrations or physical shocks may be transmitted.
• Equipment must be correctly mounted so that the main terminal of the V9 series will not be touched inadvertently. Otherwise, an
accident or electric shock may occur.
• Tighten the mounting screw on the fixtures of the V9 series to an equal torque of 0.6 N·m.
Excessive tightening may distort the panel surface. Loose mounting screws may cause the unit to fall down, malfunction, or
short-circuit.
• Check periodically that terminal screws on the power supply terminal block and fixtures are firmly tightened. Loosened screws or
nuts may result in fire or malfunction.
• Tighten the terminal screws on the power supply terminal block of the V9 series to an equal torque of 7.1 to 8.8 inch-lbf (0.8 to
1.0 N·m). Improper tightening of screws may result in fire, malfunction, or other serious trouble.
• The V9 series has a glass screen. Do not drop the unit or impart physical shocks to the unit. Otherwise, the screen may be damaged.
• Correctly connect cables to the terminals of the V9 series in accordance with the specif ied voltage and wattage. Overvoltage,
overwattage, or incorrect cable connection could cause f ire, malfunction, or damage to the unit.
• Always ground the V9 series. The FG terminal must be used exclusively for the V9 series with the level of grounding resistance less
than 100 . Otherwise, electric shock or a fire may occur.
• Prevent any conductive particles from entering the V9 series. 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 operation of the V9 series. Operation with the dust
cover attached may result in accidents, fire, malfunction, or other trouble.
• Do not attempt to repair the V9 series yourself. Contact Hakko Electronics or the designated contractor for repairs.
CAUTION
• Do not repair, disassemble, or modify the V9 series. Hakko Electronics Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damages resulting from
repair, disassembly, or modification of the unit that was performed by an unauthorized person.
• Do not use sharp-pointed tools to press touch switches. Doing so may damage the display unit.
• Only experts are authorized to set up the unit, connect cables, and perform maintenance and inspection.
• Lithium batteries contain combustible material such as lithium and organic solvents. Mishandling may cause heat, explosion, or
ignition resulting in fire or injury. Read the related manuals carefully and correctly handle the lithium battery as instructed.
• Do not press two or more positions on the screen at the same time. If two or more positions are pressed at the same time, the
switch located between the pressed positions may be activated.
• Take safety precautions during operations such as changing settings when the unit is running, forced output, and starting and
stopping the unit. Any misoperations may cause unexpected machine movement, resulting in machine accidents or damage.
• In facilities where the failure of the V9 series could lead to accidents that threaten human life or other serious damage, be sure that
such facilities are equipped with adequate safeguards.
• When disposing of the V9 series, it must be treated as industrial waste.
• Before touching the V9 series, discharge static electricity from your body by touching grounded metal. Excessive static electricity
may cause malfunction or trouble.
• Insert an SD card into the unit in the same orientation as pictured on the unit. Failure to do so may damage the SD card or the slot
on the unit.
• The SD card access LED flashes red when the SD card is being accessed. Never remove the SD card or turn off power to the unit
while the LED is flashing. Doing so may destroy the data on the SD card. Check that the LED has turned off before removing the SD
card or turning off the power to the unit.
[General Notes]
• Never bundle control cables or input/output cables with high-voltage and large-current carrying cables such as power supply cables.
Keep control cables and input/output cables at least 200 mm away from high-voltage and large-current carrying cables. Otherwise,
malfunction may occur due to noise.
• When using the V9 series in an environment where a source of high-frequency noise is present, it is recommended that the FG
shielded cable (communication cable) be grounded at each end. However, when communication is unstable, select between
grounding one or both ends, as permitted by the usage environment.
• Be sure to plug connectors and sockets of the V9 series in the correct orientation. Failure to do so may lead to damage or malfunction.
• If a LAN cable is inserted into the MJ1 or MJ2 connector, the device on the other end may be damaged. Check the connector names
on the unit and insert cables into the correct connectors.
• Do not use thinners for cleaning because it may discolor the V9 series surface. Use commercially available alcohol.
• If a data receive error occurs when the V9 series unit and a counterpart unit (PLC, temperature controller, etc.) are started at the same
time, read the manual of the counterpart unit to correctly resolve the error.
• Avoid discharging static electricity on the mounting panel of the V9 series. Static charge can damage the unit and cause malfunctions.
Discharging static electricity on the mounting panel may cause malfunction to occur due to noise.
• Avoid prolonged display of any fixed pattern. Due to the characteristic of liquid crystal displays, an afterimage may occur. If prolonged
display of a fixed pattern is expected, use the backlight’s auto OFF function.
• The V9 series is identif ied as a class-A product in industrial environments. In the case of use in a domestic environment, the unit is
likely to cause electromagnetic interference. Preventive measures should thereby be taken appropriately.
[Notes on the LCD]
Note that the following conditions may occur under normal circumstances.
• The response time, brightness, and colors of the V9 series may be affected by the ambient temperature.
• Tiny spots (dark or luminescent) may appear on the display due to the characteristics of liquid crystal.
• There are variations in brightness and color between units.
