• connect DC power.
• reset the terminal.
Use publication NFPA 70E Electrical Safety Requirements for
Employee Workplaces, IEC 60364 Electrical Installations in Buildings,
or other applicable wiring safety requirements for the country of
installation when wiring the devices. In addition to the NFPA
guidelines:
• connect the device and other similar electronic equipment to its
own branch circuit.
• protect the input power by a fuse or circuit breaker rated at no
more than 15 A.
• route incoming power to the device by a separate path from the
communication lines.
• cross power and communication lines at right angles if they
must cross.
• Communication lines can be installed in the same conduit as
low-level DC I/O lines (less than 10V).
• shield and ground cables appropriately to avoid electromagnetic
interference (EMI).
• Grounding minimizes noise from EMI and is a safety measure in
electrical installations.
For more information on grounding recommendations, refer to the
National Electrical Code published by the National Fire Protection
Association.

Modifying Display Settings
You can access and modify these display settings for your terminal:
• View display temperature
• Adjust display contrast
• Adjust display intensity
• Configure the screen saver
• Enable or disable the screen cursor
View the Display Temperature
To view the current temperature of the display, select Terminal
Settings>Display>Display Temperature.
The 600 and 1000 terminals have a cold-cathode fluorescent lamp
(CCFL) backlight. This backlight requires temperature control when
the internal temperature of the product is below 10 °C (50 °F) or
above 60 °C (140 °F). The terminal monitors low and high
temperature conditions.
• If the internal temperature of the product is below 10 °C (50 °F),
the backlight is set to overdrive or the full-rated current setting
for at least five minutes.
• If the internal temperature is at or above 60 °C (50 °F), the
backlight is set to underdrive; 40% or less of full brightness. This
reduces heat generation from the backlight.
Temperature monitoring begins when the terminal powers on, or
when the backlight turns on, for example, exiting Screen Saver mode.
The temperature control affects only display intensity; it does not
restrict the use or operation of the terminal.
When a low or high temperature condition is detected, an error is sent
to the system event log. If the temperature control is not functioning,
a noncritical error is sent to the system event log but the terminal
continues to operate normally.
TIP

The CCFL backlight temperature control takes precedence over
the application Backlight Settings.

Ethernet Cable
For PanelView Plus Compact 1000 terminals use Belden 7921A
shielded Ethernet Category 5e cable according to TIA 568-B.1 and
RJ45 connector according to IEC 60603-7 for compliance with the
European Union 89/336/EEC EMC Directive.
The maximum cable length between the terminal’s Ethernet port and a
10/100 Base-T port on an Ethernet hub (without repeaters or fiber) is
100 m (328 ft).
WARNING
Do not connect or disconnect any communication cable with
power applied to this device or any device on the network. An
electrical arc could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is
nonhazardous before proceeding.
Security Considerations
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is used for IPv4
multicast. A multicast is communication between a single sender and
multiple receivers on a network. IGMP is used to exchange
membership status data between IPv4 routers that support
multicasting and members of multicast groups. A router is an
intermediary device on a communication network that expedites
message delivery by finding the most efficient route for a message
packet within a network, or by routing packets from one subnetwork
to another. A sub-network is a separate part of an organization’s
network identified through IP addressing.
PanelView Plus terminals provide level 2 (full) support for IPv4
multicasting (IGMP version 2) as described in RFC 1112 and RFC 2236.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for internal
network management and is not supported.
Ports 137 and 138 are normally open to support the NetBIOS protocol
used by Windows CE.NET similar to other Microsoft and IBM network
operating systems.
