    • SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • (Always read these instructions before using this equipment.) Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the product correctly. The instructions given in this manual are concerned with this product.
  • Page 3 [Design Precautions] DANGER • Incorrect operation of the touch switch(s) may lead to a serious accident if the GOT backlight is gone out. When the GOT backlight goes out, the display section turns black and causes the monitor screen to appear blank, while the input of the touch switch(s) still remains active. This may confuse an operator in thinking that the GOT is in “screensaver”...
  • Page 4 [Mounting Precautions] CAUTION • When loading the communication board, External I/O interface module or communication module to the GOT main unit, fit it to the connection interface of the GOT and tighten the mounting screws in the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause a drop, failure or malfunction.
  • Page 5 [Test Operation Precautions] DANGER • Before performing test operation (bit device on/off, word device's present value changing, timer/counter's set value and present value changing, buffer memory's present value changing) for a user-created monitor screen or system monitoring, read the manual carefully to fully understand how to operate the equipment.
  • Page 6 [Backlight Changing Precautions] DANGER • Before changing the backlight, always turn the GOT power OFF (when using a GOT bus connection, also turn OFF the PLC CPU power), and remove the GOT main unit from the panel before changing the backlight. Not switching the power off in all phases may cause an electric shock.
