l Safety Precautions
Do not attempt to take the Unit apart an d do not
touch any internal parts while the po wer is being
supplied. Doing either of these may result in
electrical shock.
8
Precautions for Safe Use
· On unpacking the Unit and peripheral devices, check the external appearance and
confirm that there is no damage. Also, shake the Unit gently and be sure there are
no abnormal sounds.
· Be sure that metal scraps do not fall into the Unit when preparing the panel for
installation.
· The power supply must have re inforced insu lation to con form to the EC Low Voltage
Directive.
· Be sure to ground the Unit properly to prevent malfunction due to noise.
· Do not touch the surface of the circuit board or the components mounted to it with
our bare hands. Discharge static electricity from your body before handling the
board.
· Before inserting or removing connectors, make sure that the Unit and the PT are
turned OFF.
· After connecting the cables, always secure the cable connectors with screws.
· The cable’s tensile load is 30 N max. Do not subject it to loads greater that this.
· Before turning power ON and OFF or pressing the reset switch, check the system to
confirm that it is safe to do so.
· The entire system may shut down depending on how the power is turned ON and
OFF. Follow the proper procedures for turning power ON and OFF.
· Carefully check the screen data, macros, and host program to make sure they are
operating properly before actually using them.
· Do not perform the following while the Memory Card is being accessed.
· Turning the power OFF on the PT
· Pressing the reset switch on the PT
· Removing the Memory Card
(Always follow the proper procedure for removing the Memory Card.)
· To ensure that the system operates safely, add a procedure to the program at the
host that periodically reads operation signals from the PT to see if the PT is
operating properly.
· Do not use more than 30 N of force to press touch switches.
· Before pressing touch switches, check the system to confirm that it is safe to do so.
· Do not press a touch switch when the display is not backlit or is blank.
· Touch switch inputs may not be entered if the switches are pressed too quickly in
rapid succession. Confirm each input before moving on to the next one.
· Always make sure that screen data is backed up on the NS-Designer before you
initialize screen data.
· Never use chemical wipes or volatile solvents, such as benzene or thinner, to clean
the Unit.
· Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the Unit.
· The disposal of the Unit and discarded batteries may be regulated by national or
local authorities. Dispose of them in accordance with the laws and regulations of the
relevant country and local authority.
