3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
Robot-TP-65M may result in permanent damage to the Robot-TP-65M
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the Robot-TP-65M. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the Robot-TP-65M is accessed internally, or any other
electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered
to.
Robot-TP-65M
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the Robot-TP-65M, place it on an
antic-static pad. This re duces the possibility of ESD damaging the
Robot-TP-65M.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Installation Precautions
When installing the Robot-TP-65M, please follow the precautions listed below:
Power turned off: When installing the Robot-TP-65M, make sure the power
is off. Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or
damage to the system.
Page 14
Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install a nd modify
onboard functionalities.
Robot-TP-65M
Anti-static Discharge: If a user open the rear panel of the Robot-TP-65M, to
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear and anti-static wristband.
3.3 System Connection
The Robot-TP-65M series has two models: Robot-TP-65M/K-ML and Robot-TP-65M/K.
The only difference of these two models is that the Robot-TP-65M/K-ML has a 37-pin
military connector while the Robot-TP-65M/K has multiple cables and connectors for
connection. The following sections describe the system connection and connector pinouts
of these two models.
3.3.1 Robot-TP-65M/K-ML Connection
The Robot-TP-65M/K-ML has a 6-meter cable with a 37-pin military connector to be
connected to a robot controller.

WARNING:
The precautions outlined in this chapter should be strictly followed.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in permanent damage to
the Robot-TP-65M.
A.1 Safety Precautions
Please follow the safety precautions outlined in the sections that follow:
A.1.1 General Safety Precautions
Please ensure the following safety precautions are adhered to at all times.
Follow the electrostatic precautions outlined below whenever the
Robot-TP-65M is opened.
Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected
whenever the Robot-TP-65M is being installed, moved or modified.
Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range.
Doing so may cause fire and/or an electrical shock.
Electric shocks can occur if the Robot-TP-65M chassis is opened when the
Robot-TP-65M is running.
Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings of the
Robot-TP-65M.
If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the Robot-TP-6 5M ,
turn off the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the
Robot-TP-65M vendor.
DO NOT:
o Drop the Robot-TP-65M against a hard surface.
o Strike or exert excessive force onto the LCD panel.
o Touch any of the LCD panels with a sharp object
o In a site where the ambient temperature exceeds the rated temperature

A.1.3 Product Disposal
CAUTION:
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by and incorrect type. Only
certified engineers should replace the on-board battery.
Dispose of used batteries according to instructions and local
regulations.
Outside the European Union - If you wish to dispose of used electrical and
electronic products outside the European Union, please contact your local
authority so as to comply with the correct disposal method.
Within the European Union:
EU-wide legislation, as implemented in each Member State, requires that
waste electrical and electronic products carrying the mark (left) must be
disposed of separately from normal household waste. This includes
monitors and electrical accessories, such as signal cables or power cords.
When you need to dispose of your display products, please follow the
guidance of your local authority, or ask the shop where you purchased the product. The
mark on electrical and electronic products only applies to the current European Union
Member States.
Please follow the national guidelines for electrical and electronic product disposal.
A.2 Maintenance and Cleaning Precautions
When maintaining or cleaning the Robot-TP-65M, please follow the guidelines below.
A.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning
Prior to cleaning any part or component of the Robot-TP-65M, please read the details
below.
Page 27
Except for the LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids directly onto any other
components. To clean the LCD panel, gently wipe it with a piece of soft dry
cloth or a slightly moistened cloth.
Never use alcohol to clean the external chassis.
The interior of the Robot-TP-65M does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away
from the Robot-TP-65M interior.
Be cautious of all small removable components when vacuuming the
Robot-TP-65M.
Turn the Robot-TP-65M off before cleaning the Robot-TP-65M.
Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings of the Robot -TP-65M.
Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions to solvents or chemicals used
when cleaning the Robot-TP-65M.
Avoid eating, drinking and smoking within vicinity of the Robot-TP-65M.
A.2.2 Cleaning Tools
Robot-TP-65M
Some components in the Robot-TP-65M may only be cleaned using a product specifically
designed for the purpose. In such case, the product will be explicitly mentioned in the
cleaning tips. Below is a list of items to use when cleaning the Robot-TP-65M.
Cloth – Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a soft, clean piece of
cloth is recommended when cleaning the Robot-TP-65M.
Water – A cloth moistened with water can be used to clean the
Robot-TP-65M.
Using solvents – The use of solvents is not recommended when cleaning the
Robot-TP-65M as they may damage the plastic parts.
Vacuum cleaner – Using a vacuum specifically desig ned for computers is
one of the best methods of cleaning the Robot-TP-65M. Dust and dirt can
restrict the airflow in the Robot-TP-65M and cause its circuitry to corrode.
Cotton swabs - Cotton swaps moistened with water are excellent tools for
wiping hard to reach areas.
Foam swabs - Whenever possible, it is best to use lint free swabs such as
foam swabs for cleaning.
