2.2 General information

Sources of light

Notice

Position the screen so that it is not subject to direct sunlight or other strong sources of light.

Defective pixels in the display

At present, the manufacturing process of modern displays does not guarantee that all pixels of the display will be perfect. A small number of defective pixels in the display is therefore unavoidable. This does not present a functional problem as long as the defective pixels are not bunched in one location.

A permanent picture with bright images can lead to a burn-in effect on the TFT LCD. If a screen saver is activated, please observe the following:

•The liquid crystals in screen savers which actuate active black when the backlighting is on, e.g. flying stars "starfield simulation," renew themselves. Pay attention to the length of time the backlighting is activated

•The following applies to screen savers which turn off the the backlighting: Each time the backlighting is turned on, its life is reduced by 50 minutes.

Consider the following carefully:

•Screen saver

•Switch off the backlighting regularly

•Permanent display of the customer application

4.4.1Installation guidelines

Before installing the device, read the following general notes relating to installation.

Warning

Danger, high voltage

Isolate the power supply to the switchgear cabinet before opening it. Ensure that the power to the switchgear cabinet cannot be turned on accidentally.

Caution

The device is approved for operation in closed rooms only.

•Ensure that the protective contact socket of the building installation is easily accessible and that there is a mains disconnect switch in switchgear cabinet installations.

•Position the screen in an ergonomic position favorable to the user. Choose a suitable installation height.

•Position the screen so that it is not subject to direct sunlight or other strong sources of light.

•Optical drives are susceptible to shock. Shocks during operation can lead to the loss of data or damage to the drive or data carrier. Optical drives are not only suitable for continuous operation.

•Applies to devices which are installed in swivel arm housings: Avoid rapid or jerky movements of the swivel arm during operation. The ensuing forces could lead to possible irreversible damage of the hard disk.

The stops of the swivel arm must be damped in order to avoid any mechanical shock effect to the Panel PC on attachment.

•Applies to devices which are installed in cabinet doors: Prevent the doors being slammed shut. The ensuing forces could lead to possible irreversible damage of the hard disk.

•The device wtih DC power supply applies in the area of the computer unit and above all the power supply connection in accordance with the UL approval as "open type" or "open equipment". For this reason, the device must be installed in a control cabinet or housing that complies with fire-proofing requirements

Application planning 4.4 Mounting Positions and Fastening

Note

The computer unit with AC power supply satisfies fire protection requirements to EN60950-1. It may therefore be installed without additional fire-proofing measures.

•Provide adequate volume in the switchgear cabinet for air circulation and heat transport. Keep at least 10 cm distance between the device and switchgear cabinet.

•Ensure that the maximum air intake temperature, measured 10 cm before the air intake opening on the fan, does not exceed 45°C. The maximum air intake temperature must be accounted for especially when sizing closed switchgear cabinets.

•The minimum distance between the device and the housing is 10 cm on the air output side at the fan.

•Position the device in such a way that the air vents of the housing are not covered up following mounting.

•Ensure there is enough free space in the switchgear cabinet to allow the sheet metal cover to be removed. You will otherwise have to remove the device from the switchgear cabinet or swivel arm when replacing memory or the battery.

•Provide enough free space to add on to the device.

•Equip the switchgear cabinet with struts for stabilizing the mounting cut-out. Install struts where necessary.

•Avoid extreme environmental operating conditions. Protect your device against dust, moisture and heat.

•Install the device in such a way (see ChapterTechnical specifications) that it poses no danger, e.g. by falling over.

•During assembly, please comply with the approved installation positions.

Notice

If you mount the device in an impermissible installation position or you do not observe the environmental conditions (see ChapterTechnical specifications), you endanger the product safety provided by the UL-approval and compliance with the low-voltage directive (via EN 60950-1). In additional, the functionality of the device is no longer guaranteed.
