NOTICE
Ambient conditions and chemical resistance
2.3 Notes on usage
According to the results of a risk analysis, certain hazard potentials associated with the
unprotected machine exist. These hazards could lead to personal injury.
Avoid such hazards by taking the following precautions in accordance with the risk analysis:
• Installation of additional safety equipment on the machine or plant. In particular, the
programming, parameter assignment and wiring of the inserted I/O must be executed in
accordance with the safety performance identified by the necessary risk analysis (SIL,
PL or Cat.).
• Use as intended must be validated for the device by means of a function test on the
plant. These tests help you to identify programming, parameter assignment and wiring
errors.
• Documentation of the test results that you can enter in the relevant safety verification
documents, if necessary.
Unsuitable environmental conditions have a negative impact on device operation. Chemical
substances such as cleaners or fuels may alter the color, shape and structure of the device
surface, for example, the front panel.
The device may be damaged. possibly resulting in malfunctions.
For this reason, please observe the following precautions:
• Always operate the device in closed rooms. All warranties shall be void in the case of
noncompliance.
• Operate the device only in accordance with the ambient conditions specified in the
technical specifications.
• Protect the device against dust, moisture and heat.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or to other strong sources of light.
• Without additional safety measures, such as a supply of clean air, the device may not be
used in locations with harsh operating conditions caused by acidic vapors or gases.
• Always use suitable cleaning agents. Read the information about chemical resistance in
the Internet, see "SIMATIC IPC after-sales information system

Burn-in effect and backlighting
Defective pixels in the display
2.3 Notes on usage
l industrial environment in accordance with
60721-3-3 (pollutant class 3C2 for chemical influences, 3S2 for sand and dust).
A permanent picture with bright screen objects leads to a burn-in effect. The longer the
same screen contents are displayed, the longer it will take for the burn-in effect to
disappear. Screensavers (for example, "starfield simulation") for the backlit active black
mode reduce the burn-in effect. The brightness of the backlighting deteriorates over the
course of the screen's life cycle.
The service life of the screen and backlighting is extended by the following measures:
• Switch on the screensaver. The backlight brightness is reduced while the screensaver is
active.
• You should also reduce the backlighting.
• Observe the backlighting operating time.
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.
Additional information is available in the section "Technical specifications (Page 67)".
