SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

● Be certain to read this manual carefully before performing installation, wiring, or

maintenance work, or operating the Touch.

● This product has been manufactured with careful regard to quality. However, if you

intend to use this product in applications where failure of this equipment may result in damage to property or injury, ensure that it used in conjunction with appropriate fail-safe backup equipment.

● In this manual, safety precautions are categorized in order of importance to Warning and

Caution:

Warning notices are used to emphasize that improper operation may cause severe personal injury or death.

Caution notices are used where inattention might cause personal injury or damage to equipment.

● The Touch is not intended to be used for applications which require high reliability and

safety, such as medical equipment, nuclear equipment, railways, aircraft, and vehicles. The Touch cannot be used for these applications.

● For other applications which require high reliability in function and precision, provide a

failsafe design and redundant design for the entire system including the Touch.

• Emergency and interlocking circuits must be configured outside of the Touch.

• If relays in the Touch output circuits should fail, outputs may remain at on or off state. For output signals which may cause serious accidents, configure monitor circuits outside the Touch.

• The Touch self-diagnostic function may detect internal circuit or program errors, stop programs, and turn outputs off. Configure circuits so that the system containing the Touch are not jeopardized when outputs turn off.

● Emergency and interlocking circuits must be configured outside of the Touch.

Do not use the Touch’s internal touch switches for an emergency circuit. If the Touch failed, the external equipment connected to the Touch will no longer be protected and serious injury to operators and equipment damage may be caused.

● Turn off the power to the Touch before installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, and

inspection of the Touch. Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shock or fire hazard.

● Special expertise is required to install, wire, configure, and operate the Touch. People

without such expertise must not use the Touch.

● The Touch uses an LCD (liquid crystal display) as a display device. The liquid inside the

LCD is harmful to the skin. If the LCD is broken and the liquid attaches to your skin or clothes, wash the liquid off using soap, and consult a doctor immediately.

● Prevent the Touch from falling while moving or transporting, otherwise damage or

malfunction of the Touch will result.

● Use the product within the environmental limits given in the catalog and manual. Use of

the product in high-temperature or high-humidity environments, or in locations where it is exposed to condensation, corrosive gas or large shock loads can create the risk of electrocution and fire.

● The Touch is designed for use in pollution degree 2. Use the Touch in environments of

pollution degree 2. (based on the IEC60664-1 rating)

● Install the Touch according to the instructions in the User’s Manual. Improper installation

will result in falling, failure, electrical shock, fire hazard, or malfunction of the Touch.

● Prevent metal fragments or wire chips from dropping inside the Touch housing. Ingress

of such fragments and chips may cause fire hazard, damage, and malfunction.

● Use a power supply of the rated value. Using a wrong power supply may cause fire

hazard.

● The Touch uses “PS2 of EN61131” as DC power supply. (based on the IEC/EN61131

rating)

● Use wire of a proper size to meet the voltage and current requirements.

● When exporting the Touch to Europe, use an EN60127 (IEC60127) approved fuse on

the power line outside the Touch.

● When exporting the Touch to Europe, use an EU-approved circuit protector.

● Make sure of safety before starting and stopping the Touch. Incorrect operation of the

Touch may cause mechanical damage or accidents.

● Use the Touch in a local area network if you download, upload or monitor the project

data via the Ethernet port.

● The touch panel of the Touch is made of glass, and will break if exposed to excessive

shock. Take due care when handling it.

● When more than one button is pressed at the same time, due to the detection

characteristics of an analog type touch panel, only the gravity center of the pressed area is sensed and the unit assumes that only one button is pressed. Thus, when more than one button is pressed simultaneously, the resulting operation is not guaranteed.

● The screen becomes blank when the backlight is burnt out; however, the touch panel

remains enabled. Incorrect touch panel operation will occur when operating the touch panel when the backlight appears to be turned off but is actually burnt out. Note that this erroneous operation may result in damage.

● Do not push hard or scratch the touch panel and protection sheet with a hard object

such as a tool, because they are damaged easily.

● At temperatures over the rated operating temperature, the clock accuracy is affected.

Adjust the clock before use.

● For applications which require clock accuracy, adjust the clock periodically.

● Do not install the Touch in areas subjected to strong ultraviolet rays, since ultraviolet

rays may impair the quality of the LCD.

● Do not attempt to disassemble, repair or modify the Touch. This can create the risk of

fire or electrocution.

● When disposing of the Touch, do so as an industrial waste.

● Do not switch off the power or pull out the USB Flash Drive while it is being accessed, as

this may result in destruction of the stored data. If the data on the USB Flash Drive is corrupted, format the USB Flash Drive.

Handling of Batteries and Devices with Built-in Batteries in EU Member States

Note) The following symbol mark is for EU countries only and is according to the directive 2006/66/EC Article 20 information for end-users and Annex II.

This symbol mark means that batteries and accumulators, at their end-of life, should be disposed of separately from your household waste.

If a chemical symbol is printed beneath the symbol shown above, this chemical symbol means that the battery or accumulator contains a heavy metal at a certain concentration. This will be indicated as follows :

Hg : mercury (0.0005%), Cd : cadmium (0.002%), Pd : lead (0.004%)

In the European Union there are separate collection systems for used batteries and accumulators. Please dispose of batteries and accumulators correctly in accordance with each country or local regulation.
