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 TOUCH/PPC where the ambient temperature can exceed the allowed range.
Doing so may cause the TOUCH/PPC to malfunction or shorten its operation life.
Do not restrict or limit naturally occurring rear-face ventilation of the TOUCH/PPC, or storing
or using the TOUCH/PPC in an environment that is too hot.
Do not use the TOUCH/PPC in areas where large, sudden temperature changes can occur.
These changes can cause condensation to form inside the unit, possibly causing the unit to
malfunction.
Do not allow water, liquids, metal or charged particles to enter inside the TOUCH/PPC, since
they can cause either a TOUCH/PPC malfunction or an electrical shock. The allowable
pollution degree is 2.
Do not store or use the TOUCH/PPC in direct sunlight, or in excessively dusty or dirty
environments.
Do not store or use the TOUCH/PPC where strong jolting or excessive vibration can occur.
Do not store or use the TOUCH/PPC where chemicals (such as organic solvents, etc.) and
acids can evaporate, or where chemicals and acids are present in the air.
Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the TOUCH/PPC.
Do not store or operate the LCD display in areas receiving direct sunlight, since the sun's UV
rays may cause the LCD display’s quality to deteriorate.
If you store the TOUCH/PPC in areas where the temperature is lower than allowed level, the
liquid of the LCD will congeal and the LCD can be damage. Conversely, if the storage area’s
temperature becomes higher than the allowed level, the liquid of the LCD will become
isotropic, causing irreversible damage to the LCD. Therefore, be sure to store the panel only
in areas where temperatures are within those specified in this manual.
After turning the TOUCH/PPC OFF, be sure to wait a few seconds before turning it ON again.
If the TOUCH/PPC started too soon, it may not start up correctly.
Due to the possibility of unexpected accidents, you must back up the project data of the
CIMON HMI regularly.
