• PriortoconnectingtheFP2500-T42-24V/FP2600-T42-24V(hereafterreferredtoas
the "FP" or "FP unit") unit's power cord terminals to the Terminal Block, be sure to
check that the FP unit's power supply is completely turned OFF, via a breaker, or
similarunit.
• Whenever changing the backlight be sure to unplug the FP unit's power cord and
wearprotective glovesto preventelectric shocksand burns.
• Do not open or remodel the FP unit. Doing so may lead to a fire or electric shock.
• DonotusevoltagelevelsthatexceedtheFPunit'sspecifiedvoltagerange. Doingso
may cause a fire or an electric shock.
• Do not use the FP in an environment where flammable gases are present, since
operatingthe FP maycausean explosion.
• Do not use the FP as a warning device for critical alarms that can cause serious
operator injury, machine damage or production stoppage. Critical alarm indicators
andtheir control/activatorunits mustbe designedusing stand-alonehardware and/
ormechanicalinterlocks.
• DonotuseFPunittouchpanelswitchesinhuman-safety-relatedorimportantdisas-
ter prevention situations. For safety-related switches, such as an emergency stop
switch,besure to usea separately installed mechanicalswitch.
• AftertheFPunit’sbacklightburnsout,unlike“StandbyMode”,theunit'stouchpanel
is still active. If the operator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and
touches the panel, a potentially dangerous machine operation error can occur.
Therefore, do not use FP unit touch-screen switches for the control of equipment
safety mechanisms, such as Emergency Stop switches, etc. that protect humans
frominjury and equipmentfrom damage.
IfyourFP unit's backlightsuddenlyturns OFF, usethefollowing steps todetermine
if the backlight is actually burned out.
1) If your currently running FP application is not set to turn the backlight 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 a corner of
thescreen doesnot causethedisplay toreappear, yourbacklight isburnedout.
• To prevent operator injury or machine damage, be sure to design your machine
operation system so that the machine will not malfunction due to a communication
faultbetween the FPunit and itshost controller.
• Donotuse the FPwithaircraft control devices,aerospaceequipment, central trunk
datatransmission(communication)devices,nuclearpowercontroldevices,ormedical
life support equipment, due to these devices' 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
