SAFETY PRECAUTATIONS
External Device Setup Manual
• Prevent the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/2S/3F/4F and Touch from falling while moving or transporting, oth-
erwise damage or malfunction of the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/2S/3F/4F and Touch will result.
• Use the product within the environmental limits given in the catalog and manual. Use of the product in high-tempera-
ture or high-humidity environments, or in locations where it is exposed to condensation, corrosive gas or large shock
loads can create the risk of electrocution and fire.
• The HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/2S/3F/4F and Touch is designed for use in pollution degree 2. Use the
HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/2S/3F/4F and Touch in environments of pollution degree 2. (based on the
IEC60664-1 rating)
• Install the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/2S/3F/4F and Touch according to the instructions. Improper installa-
tion will result in falling, failure, electrical shock, fire hazard, or malfunction of the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/
2F/2S/3F/4F and Touch.
• Prevent metal fragments or wire chips from dropping inside the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/2S/3F/4F and
Touch housing. Ingress of such fragments and chips may cause fire hazard, damage, and malfunction.
• Use a power supply of the rated value. Using a wrong power supply may cause fire hazard.
• The HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/3F/4F and Touch uses “PS2 of EN61131” as DC power supply. (based on
the IEC/EN61131 rating)
• Use wire of a proper size to meet the voltage and current requirements.
• When exporting the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/3F/4F and Touch to Europe, use an EN60127 (IEC60127)
approved fuse on the power line outside the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/3F/4F and Touch.
• The D-sub connector on the end of the cable of the HG2S is not water- and dust-proof. If protection against water and
dust is required, the user must implement a water-proof provision on the connector or replace the D-sub connector
with a water-proof connector.
• When exporting the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/3F/4F and Touch to Europe, use an EU-approved circuit
protector.
• Make sure of safety before starting and stopping the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/2S/3F/4F and Touch.
Incorrect operation of the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/2S/3F/4F and Touch may cause mechanical dam-
age or accidents.
• Use the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG3F/4F and Touch in a local area network if you download, upload or monitor
the project data via the Ethernet port.
• The touch panel of the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/2S/3F/4F and Touch is made of glass, and will break if
exposed to excessive shock. Take due care when handling it.
• When more than one button is pressed at the same time, due to the detection characteristics of an analog type touch
panel, only the gravity center of the pressed area is sensed and the unit assumes that only one button is pressed.
Thus, when more than one button is pressed simultaneously, the resulting operation is not guaranteed.
• The screen becomes blank when the backlight is burnt out, however, the touch panel remains enabled. Incorrect
touch panel operation will occur when operating the touch panel when the backlight appears to be turned off but is
actually burnt out. Note that this erroneous operation may result in damage.
• Do not push hard or scratch the touch panel and protection sheet with a hard object such as a tool, because they are
damaged easily.
• At temperatures over the rated operating temperature, the clock accuracy is affected. Adjust the clock before use.
• For applications which require clock accuracy, adjust the clock periodically.
• Do not install the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/2S/3F/4F and Touch in areas subjected to strong ultraviolet
rays, since ultraviolet rays may impair the quality of the LCD.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, repair or modify the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/2S/3F/4F and Touch. This
can create the risk of fire or electrocution.
• When disposing of the HG2G-S/-5S/-5F, HG3G/4G, HG1F/2F/2S/3F/4F and Touch, do so as an industrial waste.
