Sources of light
Faulty pixels in the display
TFT-LC display
Notice
Position the screen so that it is not subject to direct sunlight or other strong sources of light.
At present, the manufacturing process of modern displays does not guarantee that all pixels
of the display will be perfect. A small number of faulty pixels in the display, is therefore
unavoidable. This does not present a functional problem as long as the faulty pixels are not
bunched in one location.
Refer to the "Technical Specifications" chapter for more information.
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

3.5.1 Installation notes
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. Make sure 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 central power disconnector 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.
• CD/DVD drives are susceptible to shocks. Shocks during operation can lead to the loss of
data or damage to the drive or data carrier. Burners and CD/DVD are not suitable for
continous 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 device with DC power supply is considered an open means of operation on the part
of the voltage supply. Therefore, make sure that the switchgear cabinet fulfills the the
requirements of a fire protection housing.
Note
The computer unit with AC power supply fulfills the requirements of a fire protection
housing according to EN60950. Therefore, no additional fire protection is necessary for
the installation.
• 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.
• Do not allow the maximum air intake temperature to exceed 45 °C. Decisive is the
temperature measured at a distance of 10 cm from an air intake. 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 ventilator.
• Position the device so that the air vents of the housing are not covered up following
installation.
• 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 boom when replacing memory or the battery.
• Also provide enough free space to add on to the device.
• Equip the switchgear cabinet with struts for stabilizing the installation 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 that it poses no danger, e.g. by falling over.
• During assembly, please comply with the approved installation positions.
Notice
If the device is installed in an unapproved position, the licenses expire in accordance with
UL 508 and EN 60950!
For additional information, refer to the dimension diagrams in the appendix.
3.5.2 Permitted mounting positions

Notice
Securing with screws is not possible with the 12" touch screen variant. For more information,
please refer to the chapter "Description."
Select the method of attachment suitable to your requirements for the degree of protection.
3.5.4 Degree of protection
Principle
The degree of protection provided by the front side can only be guaranteed when the
mounting seal lies completely against the mounting cut-out.
Degree of protection IP65 and Nema 4
Caution
Please ensure that the material strength at the mounting cut-out is a maximum of 6 mm.
Please follow the specifications for the dimensions in the "Mounting cut-out" section.
The degrees of protection are only guaranteed when the following is observed:
• The material strength at the mounting cut-out is at least 2 mm.
• The deviation of the evenness of the mounting cut-out for installed control units relating to the
outside dimensions of the control unit is ≤ 0.5 mm.
The degree of protection IP65 and Nema 4 are only guaranteed when clamps are secured
together with an encircling seal.
IP54 degree of protection
This degree of protection is provided for screw mounting.
3.6 3.6 Mounting cut-out

5. Secure the control unit by inserting suitable screws through the holes and attaching nuts.
4.3 4.3 Dimensions
The mounting depth increases by 21 mm when an optical drive is installed in the device.
Take the dimensions from the dimensional drawings.
A USB port is located on the front side. For more information, please refer to the chapter
"Operation." Attach an external keyboard or an external mouse, for example, to the USB
port. The front-sided USB port supports the standard USB 2.0.
Caution
Wait at least 10 seconds between the unplugging and replugging of USB devices. This also
applies in particular to touch control in control units with touch screen panels.
Notice
When the cover over the USB port is opened in order to connect a USB component, the
degree of protection for the device is no longer guaranteed.
When using standard USB peripherals, please bear in mind that their EMC immunity level is
frequently designed for office applications only. These device may be used for
commissioning and servicing. However, only industry-standard devices are allowed for
industrial operation.
