Notes on Safe Usage of MONITOUCH

In this manual, you will find various notes categorized under the following levels with the signal words “DANGER,” and “CAUTION.”

DANGER

CAUTION

Note that there is a possibility that the item listed with may have serious ramifications.

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

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury and could cause property damage.

CAUTION

DANGER

• Never use the input function of MONITOUCH for operations that may threaten human life or damage the system, such as switches to be used in case of emergency. Please design the system so that it can cope with the 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 new cables, or perform maintenance or inspections. Failure to do so could cause electric shock or damage to the unit.

• Never touch any terminals while the power is on. Otherwise, electric shock may occur.

• Y ou 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, electric 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 the liquid crystal spills on skin or clothing, use soap and wash off thoroughly.

• For MONITOUCH using a lithium battery, never disassemble, recharge, deform by pressure, short-circuit, reverse the polarity (+/−) of the battery, or dispose of the battery in fire. Failure to follow these conditions will lead to explosion or fire.

• For MONITOUCH 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 fire.

CAUTION

• Check the appearance of MONITOUCH 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) MONITOUCH 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 MONITOUCH. 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 MONITOUCH can not be touched inadvertently. Otherwise, an accident or electric shock may occur.

• Tighten the fixtures of MONITOUCH with a torque in the specified range. Excessive tightening may distort the panel surface. Loose tightening may cause MONITOUCH 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 other trouble.

• MONITOUCH 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 MONITOUCH 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 MONITOUCH. The FG terminal must be used exclusively for the unit with the level of grounding resistance less than 100Ω. Otherwise, electric shock or fire may occur.

• Prevent any conductive particles from entering the MONITOUCH. 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 MONITOUCH. Operation with the cover attached may result in accident, fire, malfunction, or other trouble.

• Do not attempt to repair MONITOUCH at your site. Ask Hakko or the designated contractor for repair.

• Do not disassemble or modify MONITOUCH. Otherwise, malfunctions may occur.

• Hakko Electronics Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damages resulting from repair, overhaul or

modification of MONITOUCH 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 inspections.

• For MONITOUCH 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 MONITOUCH that has an analog switch resolution with resistance film, do not press two or more points 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 will activate.

• 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 MONITOUCH 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, MONITOUCH must be treated as industrial waste.

• Before touching MONITOUCH, discharge static electricity from your body by touching grounded metal.

Excessive static electricity may cause malfunction or other 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 high-voltage and large-current carrying cables. Otherwise, malfunction may occur due to noise.

• When using MONITOUCH 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 its ends. However, the cable may be grounded only at one end if necessary due to unstable communication conditions, or for any other reason.

• Plug connectors or sockets of MONITOUCH in their correct orientation. Otherwise, malfunctions may occur.

• Do not use thinners for cleaning because they may discolor the MONITOUCH surface. Use an alcohol-based

cleaner which is commercially available.

• If a “data receive error” occurs when MONITOUCH 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 MONITOUCH. 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.
