Keep this manual nearby the user operating devices so it can be easily checked.

 

Design Precautions ( Warning)

  1. Do not implement a trigger in the software for emergency stop of hazardous operation. If Xpanel is damaged while output signal remains ON or OFF, fatal accident may be caused. Design an emergency stop switch outside of the product so it can be manually stopped.

  2. Do not use Xpanel for the purpose of generating an alarm for injury to operators, breakdown of devices, or production halt.

  3. Design the system so that it can be hand-operated in case the product malfunctions.

  4. Do not use Xpanel as a control unit on applications requiring extreme stability such as airplane control device, aerospace device, centralized data processing device, nuclear control system, medical life support system, etc.

  5. In case Xpanel is used in transportations such as trains, vehicle, vessels, or warning devices for disasters and crime, various safety devices, and medical devices excluding life support system, you are required to design backup or failure provision system to secure reliability and stability.

  6. Even if the screen is black, the unit could still be turned on with a dead LCD backlight. When the operator touches a panel in this situation, the action could cause device’s malfunction. Do not use this product for controlling safety devices such as emergency stop switches.

 

Disassembly and modification prohibited (Caution)

  1. Please do not disassemble or modify the Xpanel. It will void the warranty and may cause an electric shock.

  2. This version of the Xpanel is not rated for flammable environments. Do not use this Xpanel around flammable gases. It may cause an explosion.

 

Precautions for installation (Caution)

  1. Be sure to securely connect all cable connectors to the Xpanel. A loose connection may cause incorrect input or output.

  2. Make sure to install the unit vertically.

  3. For the performance and safe use of the equipment, keep the distance between the back of the main unit and each wall of the container at least 100 mm.

 

Battery Replacement (Caution)

The Xpanel uses a lithium battery to back up the internal clock. Do not replace this battery by yourself because it may cause an explosion. If the battery needs to be replaced, please contact your local service center.

 

Handling instructions in case of LCD damage (Caution)

The LCD contains a powerful irritant and if for any reason the panel is damaged and this liquid contacts any part of your body, be sure to wash that area with running water for 15 minutes. If any of this liquid enters your eye, flush your eye for 15 minutes with running water and contact a physician.

 

Precautions for wiring (Caution)

  1. Make sure to check if the device’s power supply is turned off before wiring. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the device.

  2. Do not use power beyond the specified voltage range of the PC. Doing so may cause fire, electric shock or damage to the device.

  3. Field Ground (FG) wires must be run individually from each unit to the master grounding terminal. DO NOT daisy chain the FG wires between devices.

  4. Correctly wire the Xpanel, be sure that the rated voltage and terminal layout are within the designated range. If the voltage supplied differs from the rated voltage, or incorrect wiring or grounding is performed, it may cause a fire or unit malfunction and it will void the warranty.

  5. Make sure to tighten the screw with standard torque (0.5~0.6Nm). Loose connections may cause short, fire or malfunction.

  6. Be careful that metal debris do not enter the Xpanel, they may cause a fire, Xpanel damage or malfunction.

 

Precautions for test run and repair ( Caution)

  1. When this unit is disposed of, it should be done so according to your country’s regulation for similar types of industrial waste.

  2. 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.

  3. Do not install the Xpanel where the operating temperature exceeds the allowed range. Doing so may cause the Xpanel to malfunction or shorten product lifespan.

  4. Do not restrict or limit naturally occurring rear-face ventilation of the Xpanel, or storing or using the Xpanel in an environment that is too hot.

  5. Do not use the Xpanel 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.

  6. Do not allow water, liquids, metal or charged particles to enter inside the Xpanel, since they can cause either a Xpanel malfunction or an electrical shock.

  7. Do not store or use the Xpanel in direct sunlight, or in excessively dusty or dirty environments.

  8. Do not store or use the Xpanel where strong jolting or excessive vibration can occur.

  9. Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the Xpanel.

  10. Do not store or use the Xpanel where chemicals (such as organic solvents, etc.) and acids can evaporate, or where chemicals and acids are present in the air.

  11. 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.

  12. After turning the Xpanel OFF, be sure to wait a few seconds before turning it ON again. If the Xpanel started too soon, it may not start up correctly.

  13. Due to the possibility of unexpected accidents, you must back up the project data of the Xpanel regularly.

 

Precautions for disposal ( Caution)

When the product is disposed of, it should be done according to your country’s regulations for similar types of industrial waste. Not doing so may cause an occurrence of toxic substances or explosions.
