5 Installation and start-up

WARNING! Danger of injury!

Installation and assembly work may only be carried out by trained technical staff
while observing the safety instructions.

5.1 Measures before installation

Before installation, make sure that the machine is device is complete and that there are no
deformations, scratches or other damage which could indicate a fall having occurred.

Before installation the plant must be brought to a safe condition, because the device is not
equipped with an On/Off-switch, but is switched on and off via the plant.

WARNING! Danger of injury!

Installing a damaged or incomplete device can lead to severe personal injury or
material defects. Only install completely intact devices.

WARNING!

In order to enhance safety and to assure the interference immunity in
accordance with valid European standards, the control unit must be connected
to an earthed conductor, before starting the device. This connection is made via
the threaded bolt on the back of the housing.

WARNING!

The remote control must only be connected to or disconnected from the input
module with the device switched off, as otherwise the device may get damaged!

WARNING!

Before plugging on supply and interface cables the assembly personnel must
discharge themselves via a suitable earth connection, to avoid any electrostatic
discharge via plug pins!

Revision status 19.01.2010 29

Installation and start-up

5.1.1 Measures for compliance with the electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC)

This device complies with the basic European standards EN 50081-2 for interference
transmission in industrial applications, as well as EN 50082-2 for interference immunity in
industrial applications, as long as these installation instructions have been adhered to:

• Before plugging in interface cables, the device must be disconnected from the supply

voltage.

• The operating personnel must be free of static charges (touch earthing surface).

• Transverters must be wired with filters.

These filters must be of such size, that interference signals are either completely
eliminated or their level is dampened down to a insignificant level.

In addition to this the following measures must be applied in order to avoid wanted signals
being affected by interference signals:

ATTENTION!

Ensure equipotential bonding!

• Connect all metal parts of a housing (control cabinet) ensuring large area contact and

electric conductivity.

• Do not place the connecting points on a painted surface, because paint has an

electrically insulating effect.
Use contact or serrated washers for such connections.

• For screening use only cables with screening mesh.

– Use metal or metal coated plugs to ensure good screening connection of the

lines.

– Always ensure large area connection of screening elements.

– For cables conducting digital signals ensure large area connection and good

electric conductivity of cable screens at both ends (use screen bus)

– For cables conducting analog signals ensure single side large area connection

and good electric conductivity of the cable screen.

• Do not route wanted signal lines directly parallel to power cables; therefore do not run

both types of cable through a common cable duct or control box.

• Keep a sufficient distance between interference susceptible wanted signal lines and

any possible source of interference.
The distance must be at least one meter, but can be reduced when using metal
screening plates.

30 Revision status 19.01.2010

Universal unipo® Flat Panel UFP

Installation and start-up

• Route lines, which belong together by signal (e. g. feed and return lines), either with
very little distance from each other, or twist them together.

• Route wanted signal lines and the associated lines for equipotential bonding close
together and keep these cables as short as possible.

• Route all lines close to earthing areas and avoid unnecessary routing ways and cable
lengths.

• Run wanted signal lines only from one level into the device (control cabinet).

Revision status 19.01.2010 45

Universal unipo® Flat Panel UFP
Software description

NOTE

Each video module generates in each line an exactly specified number of pixels. For an
exact display both values must match exactly.
The specified value does not correspond with the horizontal resolution, but is always
higher.
For example, the correct sample rate for Standard VGA with a resolution of 640 x 480
pixels is normally 800.

NOTE

Changing this parameter will also change the horizontal size of the image. However,
this can be corrected later in the menu EXPANSION. With each adjustment of the
sample rate the image position is also regulated.

NOTE

If the image shows slightly visible vertical stripes, the distance of which changes when
adjusting the sample rate, the sample rate is most likely incorrect.

These stripes may appear as darker or brighter background areas, or as areas in which
vertical lines appear wider, narrower, clearer or more blurred than in the rest of the
image.

The stripes are clearly visible when starting automatic adjustment of the sample point
by pressing the key [F] for a longer time. The stripes will then move horizontally
through the image for a short time.

With a high number of distinct contrasts in the image the sample rate can be set easier
(Moire pattern/images with a lot of text).
