Essential Safety Precautions

This manual includes procedures that must be followed to operate the ST correctly and safely. Be sure to read this manual and any related materials thoroughly to understand the correct operation and functions of this unit.

Safety Icons

Throughout this manual the following icons are provided next to ST operation procedures requiring special attention, and provide essential safety information. These icons indicate the following levels of danger: warning: Indicates situations where severe bodily injury, death or major equipment damage can occur.

Indicates situations where severe bodily injury, death or major equipment damage can occur.

Indicates situations where slight bodily injury or machine damage can occur.

System Design

Do not create ST touch panel switches that could possibly endanger the safety of equipment and personnel. Damage to the ST , its I/O unit(s), cable(s), and other related equipment can cause an output signal to remain continuously ON or OFF and possibly cause a major accident. Therefore, design all monitoring circuits using limit switches, etc. to detect incorrect device movement. To prevent accidents related to incorrect signal output or operation, design all switches used to control vital mach ine operations so they are operated via a separate control system.

Please design your system so that equipment will not malfu nction due to a communication fault between the ST and its host controller. This is to prevent any possibility of bodily injury or material damage.

Do not use the ST unit as a warning device for cri tical alarms that can cause serious operator injury, machine damage or production stoppage. Critical alarm indicators and their control/activator units must be designed using stand-alone hardware and/or mechanical interlocks.

The ST is not appropriate for use with aircraft control devices, aerospace equipment, central trunk data tr ansmission (communication) devices, nuclear power control devices, or medical life support equipment, due to these devices’ inherent requirements of extremely high levels of safety and reliability.

Do not create switches used to control machine safety operations, such as an emergency stop switch, or a ST touch screen icon. Be sure to install these switches as separate hardware switches, otherwise severe bodily injury or equipment damage can occur.

Page 4

When using the ST with : transportation vehicles (trains, cars and ships), disaster and crime prevention devices, various types of safety equipment, non-life support related medical devices, etc., redundant and/or failsafe system designs should be used to ensure the proper degree of reliability and safety.

Touch Panel

After the ST's backlight burns out, unlike the ST’s "Standby Mode", the touch panel is still active. If the operator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and touches the panel, a potentially dangerous machine operation error can occur.

If your ST's backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the following steps to determine if the backlight is actually burned out.

1) If your ST is not set to "Standby Mode" and the screen has gone blank, your backlight is burned out.

2) Or, if your ST is set to Standby Mode, but touching the screen does not cause the display to reappear, your backlight is burned out.

Wiring

To prevent electrical shock or equipment damage, unplug the ST unit's power cord from the power supply prior to installing or wiring the ST.

Be sure to replace the ST's plastic terminal block cover after wiring is completed, since operating the ST without the cover may lead to an electric shock.

Do not use power beyond the ST's specified voltage range. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock.

Page 5

Battery Replacement

The ST uses a lithium battery for backing up its internal clock data . If the b attery is inco rrect ly repla ced, the batte ry may explode. To prevent this, please do not replace the battery yourself. When the battery needs to be replaced, please contact your local ST distributor.

Installation/Maintenance

High voltage runs through the ST. Except for replacing the backlight, never take apart the ST, otherwise an electrical shock can occur.

Do not modify the ST unit. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock.

Do not use the ST in an environment where flammable gasses are present, si nce operating the ST may cause an explosion.

Installation/Maintenance

Be sure to securely connect all cable connectors to the ST. A loose connection may cause incorrect input or output.

Wiring

Ground the ST's FG line separately from other units’ FG lines. Putting these FG lines too close may cause an electric shock or unit malfunction. Be sure to use a grounding resistance of 100W or less and a 2mm

country's applicable standard.

or thicker wire, or your

Page 6

Be sure the ST's rated voltage is within the designated range, and that the power terminal lines are correctly attach ed. If the voltage supplied differs from the rated voltage, or incorrect wiring or grounding is performed, it may cause a fire or unit malfunction.

Use only the designated torque to tighten the ST's terminal block screws. If these screws are not tightened firmly, it may cause a short-circuit, fire, or ST malfunction.

Be careful that metal filings and wiring debris do not fall inside the ST, since they can ca us e a fi re, ST malfunction, or incorrect unit operation.

Display Device

The liquid crystal panel contains a powerful irritant and if for any reason the panel is damaged and this liquid contacts any part of your body, be sure to wash that area with running water for 15 minutes. If any of this liquid enters your eye, flush your eye for 15 minutes with running water and contact a physician.

Unit Disposal

When this unit is disposed of, it should be done so according to your country's regulations for similar types of industrial waste.

This mark is applicable only in Taiwan.

General Safety Precautions

About the Operation Environment

• Do not strike the touch panel with a hard or pointed object, or press on the touch panel with too much force, since it may damage the touch panel or the display.

• Do not install the ST where the ambient temperature can exceed the allowe d range. Doing so may cause the ST to ma lfunction or shorten its operation life.

• Do not restrict or limit the ST’s naturally occurring rear-face ventilation, or store or use the ST in an environment that is too hot.

• Do not use this unit in areas where large, sudden temperature changes can occur. These changes can cause condensation to form inside the unit., possibly causing the unit to malfunction.

• Do not allow water, liquids, metal or charged particles to enter inside the ST's case, since they can cause either a ST malfunction or an electrical shock.

• Do not use or store the ST in direct sunlight, or in excessively dusty or dirty environments.

• Do not store or use the unit where strong jolting or excessive vibration can occur.

• Do not store or use the ST where chemicals (such as organic solvents, etc.) and acids can evaporate, or where chemicals and acids are present in the air.

Corrosive chemicals:Acids, alkalines, liquids containing salt Flammable chemicalsOrganic Solvents

• Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the ST, since they can cause either dis coloration or a ST malfunction.

• Do not store or operate the LCD display in areas receiving direct sunlight, since the sun's UV rays may cause the LCD display quality to deteriorate.

• Storing this unit in areas at a temperature lower than is rec ommended in this manual sp ecifications may cause th e LCD display liquid to congeal, which may damage the panel. Conversely, if the storage area temperature becomes higher than the allowed level, the LCD liquid will become isotropic, causing irreversible damage to the LCD. Therefore, be sure to store the panel only in areas where temperatures are within those specified in this manual.

• Do not connect or disconnect the communication cable between the ST and the host during power-ups.

About the Screen Data

• Due to the possibility of unexpected accidents, be sure to back up the ST’s screen data regularly.

Page 8

About the ST's Display Panel

• The ST's currently displayed data, its voltage*1 and brightness setting each affect the intensity of Contouring. (i.e, when some parts of the screen are brighter than others, creating a wavelike pattern)

• There are minute grid-points (dark and light) on the Display Panel's surface. This is part of the ST's design and not a defect.

• Extended shadows, or "Crosstalk" may appear on the sides of screen images. This is normal for an LCD display.

• Sometimes the display area may look as if the display colors have changed. This is a common attribute of LCD's and is not a defect.

• Displaying a single image for long periods can cause an afterimage to remain when the display is changed to another screen.

To prevent this effect:

• Use the ST's "Stand-by Mode", which automatically turns the screen OFF when there is no input for a specified period of time.

SEE

• Write "FFFh" to the System Data Area's “Screen Display Off” address following actions are not performed for the user's designated period of time.

• Change Screen

• Touch Screen

• Alarm Display

• Do not display any single screen for a long period of time. Try to periodically change the screen display.

3.1 Installation

3.1.1 Installation Procedures

Follow the steps given below when installing the ST.

 Check the Installation Gasket’s Seating

It is strongly recommended that you use the installation gasket, since it absorbs vibration in addition to repelling water. Place the ST on a level surface with the display panel facing downward. Check that the ST’s installation gasket is seated securely into the gasket’s groove, which runs around the perimeter of the panel’s frame. For details about installing the gasket, refer to

SEE

8.1.2 Installation Gasket Check/Replacement (Page 8-2)

• Before installing the ST into a cabinet or panel, check that the installation gasket is securely attached to the unit.

• A gasket which has been used for a long period of time may have scraches or dirt on it, and could have lost much of its dust and drip resistance. Be sure to change the gasket periodically (or when scratches or dirt become visible).

• Be sure to use gasket model ST400-WP01

• Be sure the gasket's seam is not inserted into any of the unit's corners, only in the straight sections of the groove. Inserting it into a corner may lead to its eventually tearing.

• To ensure the installation gasket’s maximum level of moisture resistance, be sure the gasket's seam instead as shown into the panel's bottom face.

 Creating a Panel Cut

Create the correct sized opening required to install the ST, using the installation dimensions given.

SEE

2.5.2 Panel Cut Dimensions (Page 2-14)

The installation gasket, installation brackets and attachment screws are all required when installing the ST .

Panel

Panel Cut

Area

• Check that the installation panel or cabinet's surface is flat, in good condition and has no jagged edges. Also, if desired, metal reinforcing strips can be attached to the inside of the panel, near the Panel Cut, to increase the panel’s strength.

• Panel thickness should be from 1.6mm [0.06in.] to 10mm [0.4in.]. Decide the panel's thickness based on the level of panel strength required.

1.6mm[0.06in.]

to 5.0mm[0.2in.]

• For easier maintenance, operation, and improved ventilation, be sure to install the ST at least 100 mm [3.94 in.] away from adjacent structures and other equipment.

3.2 Wiring Precautions

3.2.1 Connecting the Power Cord

To avoid an electric shock, be sure the power cord is unplugged from the power outlet when connecting the power terminals to the ST unit.

The ST400-AG41-24V, ST401-AG41-24V, ST402-AG41-24V and ST403-AG41-24V are designed to use only DC24V power. Using any other level of power can damage both the power supply and the ST unit.

Since the ST is not equipped with the power switch, be sure to connect a breaker type power switch to the ST’s power cord.

Be sure to ground the ST's FG terminal. Failure to do so can lead to an electrical shock or ST malfunction.

If the power cord is pulled strongly, the power plug may fall out.

Chapter 3 Installation and Wiring

• When the FG terminal is connected, be sure the wire is grounded. Not grounding the ST unit will result in excessive noise. Use your country's applicable standard for grounding.

6.5.3 Customize Setup (n:1)

The Customize function modifies the n:1 (Multi-link) connection's communication method to make it more effective. To run communication efficiently, the user should first determine whether they wish to have Operation or Display priority set for the ST. Based on this, the communication response speed can be upgraded. (However, this also depends on the screen information displayed.)

PLC PRIORITY

According to how the ST is used, select either Operation priority (OPE.) or Display priority.

• ïOperation Setup the ST to this option when using the ST mainly as an operation panel. As a result, the ST will command better touch panel numeric input and switch response times. Leaving the ST in this mode does not drastically influence the touch panel operation response time of other STs. The screen display renewal cycle,however, will slow.

•ïDisplay Setup the ST to this option when using the ST mainly as a monitor screen. The ST will command a higher display speed as a result; however, the response time for the touch panel's operations will slow.

• In a standard network setup, use the same setup for all connected ST's.

• To increase the display speed, be sure the addresses used are consecutive addresses. When bit addresses are used, use consecutive to the word units.
