- 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 specified 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, you may sustain an electric shock, a f ire may occur, MONITOUCH may not recognize touch operations, and malfunctions 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.

• 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 MONITOUCH 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.

• Be sure to remove the protective sheet that is attached to the touch panel surface at delivery before use. If used with the protective sheet attached, MONITOUCH may not recognize touch operations or malfunctions may occur.

• When using an analog resistive-film type V9 series unit, do not touch two 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.

• When using a capacitive V9 series unit, take note of the following cautions.

- Use a Class 2 power supply for a 24-VDC unit. If an unstable power supply is used, MONITOUCH may not recognize touch

operations or malfunctions may occur.

- Capacitive touch panel types support two-point touch operations. If a third point is touched, the touch operation will be

cancelled.

- Capacitive touch panel types are prone to the influence of conductive material. Do not place conductive material such as metals

near the touch panel surface and do not use the panel if it is wet. Otherwise, malfunctions may occur.

[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 identified 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.

[Notes on Capacitive Touch Panels]

• Touch panel operability may not be optimal if used with dry fingers or skin. In such a case, use a capacitive stylus pen.

• Periodically clean the touch panel surface for optimum touch operations. When cleaning, take note of the following points. <When cleaning>

- The panel surface is made of glass. Be sure to clean the surface gently with a cloth or sponge. Otherwise, you may scratch or

damage the glass.

- Take care not to let cleaning detergent to seep into the touch panel unit.

Do not directly apply or spray cleaning detergent on the panel surface.

1.2 Screen Program File Structure

The screen program file for MONITOUCH is structured based on an area referred to as a “screen”. Screens are created by placing various parts and graphic items in the “screen” area. A single file can store up to 4,000 screens. Items such as data and graphics which change over time and that cannot be placed directly on screens can be registered to a

separate area and then combined for display on MONITOUCH. (For more information, refer to “6 Registration Items“.)

This section explains the structure of screens.

1.2.1 Screen Structural Components

Each screen is composed of a base screen (mandatory) and overlaps (a maximum of 10 overlaps can be placed).

1.2 Screen Program File Structure

Each base screen and overlap contains areas referred to as “IDs.” There are 256 IDs overlaid like invisible sheets.

Parts, such as switches, are placed on sheets from ID 0 to 255 of the base screen and overlaps. These parts are always assigned numbers identical to their respective sheet numbers (= ID numbers). Drawing parts, such as text and lines, are placed directly onto the base screen and overlaps. For this reason, these drawing parts are not assigned ID numbers.

What Is an ID?

An “ID” is a number assigned to each invisible sheet. Each part that comprises a function on the screen is always placed on an invisible sheet. In order to discriminate between placed sheet numbers, each part is assigned an ID number. Whether a sheet can contain multiple parts or only one part depends on the types of parts.

The editor automatically performs ID number allocations. Normally, you do not need to worry about the allocation of ID numbers.

A part that executes its function singly, such as a switch, lamp, numerical data display, or bar graph, has no limit on the number of parts per ID. ID numbers do not need to be taken into consideration when placing these types of parts.

graphs, pie graphs, closed area graphs, panel meters, time displays, and screen libraries

Different parts may be combined to execute a single function, as shown below. Such parts must share the same ID number.

When using a screen library

With the use of an editing area called “screen library,” a single part can be placed on multiple screens. Before using this area, check that the ID numbers of parts registered in the screen library are different from the ID numbers of

the parts already placed on screens. In the case of parts with a placement restriction, using the same ID number will prevent these parts from working correctly.

• Example: When a screen library that contains calendar parts is placed on multiple screens
