Risk analysis and measures
Hazards emanating from unprotected machines or plants
The results of a risk analysis can reveal any hazards emanating from unprotected
machinery. Such hazards may pose a risk of personal injury.
You can prevent personal injury caused by hazards as specified in the risk analysis by
taking the following measures:
• Installing additional protective devices on machinery and plants. In particular, it must
also be ensured that the programming, configuration and wiring of all I/Os used takes
place in accordance with the safety performance (SIL, PL or Cat.) identified by the
requisite risk analysis.
• Use of the device in accordance with its intended purpose, which can be verified by
means of a system function test. This test can detect programming, configuration and
wiring errors.
• Documentation of the test results, which must be entered in the relevant safety reports if
required.
Ambient conditions and chemical resistance
Ambient conditions not suited for the device can adversely affect operation. Chemical
agents, such as detergents or operating material, can change the color, shape and
structure of the device surface. The device may be damaged. This may lead to
malfunctions.
For this reason, the following precautionary measures should be taken:
• Only operate the device in closed rooms. Failure to comply with these instructions will
render the warranty null and void.
• Only operate the device in the ambient conditions specified in the technical
specifications.
• Protect the device against dust, moisture and heat.
• The device may not be used in harsh operating environments, such as areas subject to
acidic vapors or gases, without additional protective measures (e.g. a clean air supply).

Burn-in effect and backlight
A permanent picture with bright images can result in a burn-in effect. The longer the same
content is displayed on the screen, the longer it will take for the burn-in effect to disappear.
Screen savers that use active black when the backlight is on reduce the burn-in effect. The
brightness of the backlight decreases incrementally during operational life.
• Activate the screen saver, for example, "starfield simulation".
You can extend the service life of the display and the backlight with the following measures:
• Reduce the backlight.
• Pay attention to the length of time the backlight is activated.
Additional information is available in the section "General Technical Specifications".
Defective pixels in the display
The manufacturing process of modern displays does not currently guarantee that all pixels of
the display are perfect. It is therefore inevitable that the display will contain a small number
of defective pixels. This does not limit the function in any way provided the defective pixels
are not all in one location.
Additional information is available in the section "General Technical Specifications".

The device is self-ventilated and approved for inclined mounting at angles up to +/-35° in
stationary cabinets.
Damage due to overheating
Inclined installation reduces the convection by the device and therefore the maximum
permitted ambient temperature for operation.
If there is sufficient forced ventilation, the device can also be operated in the inclined
mounting position up to the maximum permitted ambient temperature for vertical
installation. The device may otherwise be damaged and its certifications and warranty will
be rendered null and void.
For information on permitted ambient temperatures, refer to the section Technical
specifications (Page 84).
Select one of the approved mounting positions for your device. The approved mounting
positions are described in the following sections.

Stability of the mounting cutout
The material in the area of the mounting cutout must be sturdy enough to ensure permanent
safe mounting of the device.
The force of the clamps or operation of the device may not lead to deform
material in order to achieve the degrees of protection described below.
The various degrees of protection of the device can only be guaranteed if the following
requirements are met:
● To achieve the degree of protection specified in the technical specifications: Material
thickness at the mounting cut-out: 2 mm to 6 mm
● Permitted deviation from plane at the mounting cutout: ≤ 0.5 mm
This condition must also be met for the installed device.
● Permitted surface roughness in the area of the seal: ≤ 120 µm (R
z
120)
Dimensions of the mounting cutout
Width and height should be reversed accordingly when mounting in vertical format.
