FE MONITOUCH V8 SERIES Reference: Additional Functions page 20

• Check the appearance of MONITOUCH when it is unpacked. Do not use the unit if any damage or
deformation is found. Failure to do so may lead to fire, damage, or malfunction.
• For use in a facility or for a system related to nuclear energy, aerospace, medical, traffic equipment, or
mobile installations, please consult your local distributor.
• Operate (or store) MONITOUCH under the conditions indicated in this manual and related manuals. Failure
to do so could cause fire, malfunction, physical damage or deterioration.
• Understand the following environmental limits for use and storage of MONITOUCH. Otherwise, fire or
damage to the unit may result.
- Avoid locations where there is a possibility that water, corrosive gas, flammable gas, solvents, grinding
fluids or cutting oil can come into contact with the unit.
- Avoid high temperature, high humidity, and outside weather conditions, such as wind, rain or direct
sunlight.
- Avoid locations where excessive dust, salt, and metallic particles are present.
- Avoid installing the unit in a location where vibration or physical shock may be transmitted.
• Equipment must be correctly mounted so that the main terminal of MONITOUCH can not be touched
inadvertently. Otherwise, an accident or electric shock may occur.
• Tighten the fixtures of MONITOUCH with a torque in the specified range. Excessive tightening may distort
the panel surface. Loose tightening may cause MONITOUCH to come off, malfunction, or be short-circuited.
• Check periodically that terminal screws on the power supply terminal block and fixtures are firmly tightened.
Loosened screws may result in fire or malfunction.
• Tighten terminal screws on the power supply terminal block equally to a torque of 0.5 N•m. Improper
tightening of screws may result in fire, malfunction, or other trouble.
• MONITOUCH has a glass screen. Do not drop or give physical shock to the unit. Otherwise, the screen
may be damaged.
• Connect the cables correctly to the terminals of MONITOUCH in accordance with the specified voltage and
wattage. Over-voltage, over-wattage, or incorrect cable connection could cause fire, malfunction or damage
to the unit.
• Be sure to establish a ground of MONITOUCH. The FG terminal must be used exclusively for the unit with
the level of grounding resistance less than 100 Ω. Otherwise, electric shock or fire may occur.
• Prevent any conductive particles from entering the MONITOUCH. Failure to do so may lead to fire, damage,
or malfunction.
• After wiring is finished, remove the paper used as a dust cover before starting to operate MONITOUCH.
Operation with the cover attached may result in accident, fire, malfunction, or other trouble.
• Do not attempt to repair MONITOUCH at your site. Ask Hakko or the designated contractor for repair.
• Do not disassemble or modify MONITOUCH. Otherwise, malfunctions may occur.
• Hakko Electronics Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damages resulting from repair, overhaul or
modification of MONITOUCH that was performed by an unauthorized person.
• Do not use a sharp-pointed tool when pressing a touch switch. Doing so may damage the screen.
• Only experts are authorized to set up the unit, connect the cables, or perform maintenance and inspections.
• For MONITOUCH using a lithium battery, handle the battery with care. The combustible materials such as
lithium or organic solvent contained in the battery may generate heat, explode, or catch fire, resulting in
personal injury or fire. Read related manuals carefully and handle the lithium battery correctly as instructed.
• When using a MONITOUCH that has an analog switch resolution with resistance film, do not press two or
more points on the screen at the same time. If two or more positions are pressed at the same time, the
switch located between the pressed positions will activate.
• Take safety precautions during such operations as setting change during running, forced output, start, and
stop. Any misoperation may cause unexpected machine motions, resulting in machine accident or damage.
• In facilities where a failure of MONITOUCH could lead to accident threatening human life or other serious
damage, be sure that the facilities are equipped with adequate safeguards.
• At the time of disposal, MONITOUCH must be treated as industrial waste.
• Before touching MONITOUCH, discharge static electricity from your body by touching grounded metal.
Excessive static electricity may cause malfunction or other trouble.
• During the CF card power supply, the LED inside the CF card cover illuminates in red. If you remove the CF
card or turn the MONITOUCH off while the LED is illuminating, data on the CF card may become corrupt.
Before removing the CF card or turning MONITOUCH off, ensure that the LED is not illuminating.
