Essential Safety Precautions

Preface

FP3700-T41 User Manual iii

• Because of the ever present danger of electrical shock, be

sure to unplug the power cable from the FP unit before plug-

ging the cable's other end into the wall.

• Do not use power in excess of the unit's specified voltage

range since it may cause a fire or electric shock.

• Because the FP unit contains high voltage parts, an electric

shock can occur when disassembling the unit. Therefore,

be sure to always unplug the unit before disassembling it.

• Do not modify the FP unit in any way, since it may cause a

fire or electric shock.

• Do not use touch panel keys to perform life-threatening or

vitally important safety functions. Use separate mechani-

cal switches for such keys.

• Do not use the FP unit as a warning device for critical alarms

that can cause serious operator injury, machine damage or

production stoppage. Critical alarm indicators and their con-

trol/activator units must be designed using stand-alone

hardware and/or mechanical interlocks.

•After the FP’s backlight burns out, unlike the FP’s “Standby

Mode”, the touch panel is still active. If the operator fails to

notice that the backlight is burned out and touches the panel,

a potentially dangerous machine miss-operation can occur.

Therefore, do not use FP touch switches for the control of

any equipment safety mechanisms, such as Emergency Stop

switches, etc. that protect humans and equipment from in-

jury and damage.

If your FP's backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the following

steps to determine if the backlight is actually burned out.

1) If your currentFP application is not set to turn the back-

light OFF, and the screen has gone blank, your backlight is

burned out.

2) If your current FP application is set to turn the backlight

OFF, if touching the screen does not cause the display to

reappear, your backlight is burned out.

WARNINGS

Preface

iv FP3700-T41 User Manual

WARNINGS

• If substantial amounts of metallic dust, water or liquids en-

ter the FP unit, turn off the power supply immediately, un-

plug the power cord, and contact your local FP distributor.

• When installing the FP unit, be sure to follow the instruc-

tions given in “Chapter 3 Installation and Wiring," to insure

it is done correctly.

• Do not use the FP in an environment with flammable gas,

since it may cause an explosion.

•The FP is not appropriate for use with aircraft control de-

vices, aerospace equipment, central trunk data transmis-

sion (communication) devices, nuclear power control de-

vices, or medical life support equipment, due to these de-

vices’ inherent requirements of extremely high levels of

safety and reliability.

•When using the FP with transportation vehicles (trains, cars

and ships), disaster and crime prevention devices, various

types of safety equipment, non-life support related medical

devices, etc, redundant and/or failsafe system designs

should be used to ensure the proper degree of reliability

and safety.

Preface

FP3700-T41 User Manual v

• Do not press the screen's touch surface too strongly with

either your finger or a hard object, since the touch surface

may be damaged.

• When the surface of the display screen becomes dirty or

smudged, clean the display with a cloth soaked in a neutral

detergent. Do not use paint thinner or organic solvent.

• Do not press on the touch panel's face with sharp objects,

such as a mechanical pencil or screwdriver, since it might

damage the LCD panel.

• Avoid using or storing the FP in direct sunlight, excessively

dusty or dirty environments, or where chemicals or their

vapors are present in the air.

• Avoid restricting the FP's natural ventilation, or storing and

using the FP in an environment that will increase the FP's

internal temperature.

• Do not use the FP in areas where sudden, large changes in

temperature may occur. These changes can cause conden-

sation to form inside the unit, possibly causing an accident.

• Do not store or use the FP where chemicals (such as or-

ganic solvents, etc.) and acids can evaporate, or where

chemicals and acids are present in the air.

• When the product is disposed of, it should be done so

according to your country's regulations for similar types

of industrial waste.

CAUTIONS

Preface

vi FP3700-T41 User Manual

Notes on the FP's Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

For detailed LCD information, Please contact Digital’s Development

department, Product Quality Assurance group.

• The FP's LCD contains a strong irritant. If the panel is dam-

aged and the LCD unit's liquid contacts your skin, be sure

to wash it with running water for at least 15 minutes. If any

of this liquid should enter your eye, be sure to flush the eye

with running water for more than 15 minutes, and see a

doctor immediately.

• The current brightness of the LCD screen will depend on

the screen's current display and the LCD unit's contrast ad-

justment. Any brightness variations that result are normal

for LCD displays.

• There are minute grid-points on the LCD surface. These

points are not defects.

• The displayed color will look different when viewed from an

angle outside the specified view angle. This is also normal.

• Displaying a single screen image for long periods of time

can cause an afterimage to remain. To correct this, turn the

unit OFF for 5 or 10 minutes, then turn it ON again. This

phenomenon is a common attribute of the LCD unit's, and

not a defect. To prevent this effect, you can:

- use the Display OFF feature, if the same image is to be dis-

played for a long period of time.

- change the screen display periodically to prevent the displaying

of a single image for a long period of time.

• When a signal timing value not compatible with this device

is entered, or if the entered timing is larger than can be

displayed by the dot clock, an "OUT OF RANGE" message

is displayed. If this occurs, be sure to read your computer's

manual and enter a value that is compatible with this de-

vice.

• If no signal (synchronized signal) is entered, a "NO SIG-

NAL" message is displayed.

Some types of VGA equipment may not be within the ranges specified above, and,

therefore, cannot be connected to the FP.

Also, if you change your PC's VGA board, there is the possiblity that the new

board may not be able to be connected to the FP.

The FP unit's analog interface is designed for standard VGA mode. The number of
