Preface Essential Safety Precautions This manual includes procedures that must be followed to operate the GP correctly and safely. Be sure to read this manual and any related materials thoroughly to understand the correct operation and functions of this unit. Safety Icons Throughout this manual the following icons are provided next to GP operation procedures requiring special attention, and provide essential safety information.
Preface WARNINGS • Do not create switches used to control machine safety operations, such as an emergency stop switch, as a GP touch screen icon. Be sure to install these switches as separate hardware switches, otherwise severe bodily injury or equipment damage can occur. • When using the GP with transportation vehicles (trains, cars and ships), disaster and crime prevention devices, various types of safety equipment, non-life support related medical devices, etc.
Preface WARNINGS Battery Replacement • The GP uses a lithium battery for backing up its internal clock data. If the battery is incorrectly replaced, the battery may explode. To prevent this, please do not replace the battery yourself. When the battery needs to be replaced, please contact your local GP distributor. Installation/Maintenance • High voltage runs through the GP. Except for replacing the backlight, never take apart the GP, otherwise an electrical shock can occur. • Do not modify the GP unit.
Preface CAUTIONS • Use only the designated torque to tighten the GP’s terminal block screws. If these screws are not tightened firmly, it may cause a short-circuit, fire, or GP malfunction. • Be careful that metal filings and wiring debris do not fall inside the GP, since they can cause a fire, GP malfunction, or incorrect operation.
Preface General Safety Precautions • Do not strike the touch panel with a hard or pointed object, or press on the touch panel with too much force, since it may damage the touch panel or the display. • Do not install the GP where the ambient temperature can exceed the allowed range. Doing so may cause the GP to malfunction or shorten its operation life. • Do not restrict or limit the GP’s naturally occurring rear-face ventilation, or storing or using the GP in an environment that is too hot.
Preface About the GP’s Display Panel • The GP’s currently displayed data, its voltage*1 and brightness setting each affect the intensity of Contouring. (i.e, when some parts of the screen are brighter than others, creating a wavelike pattern) • There are minute grid-points (dark and light) on the Display Panel’s surface. This is part of the GP’s design and not a defect. • Extended shadows, or “Crosstalk” may appear on the sides of screen images. This is normal for an LCD display.
