Installation and Handling
Do not drop, bend, or flex the display. Do not allow objects to strike the
surface of the display.
CAUTION: The display uses CMOS and power MOS-FET devices. These
components are electrostatic sensitive. Unpack, assemble, and examine this
assembly in a static-controlled area only. When shipping, use packing
materials designed for protection of electrostatic-sensitive components.
CAUTION: To prevent injury in the event of glass breakage, the use of an
impact resistant shield or a protective overlay should be used on the viewer
side of the display.
Mounting EL Displays
Properly mounted, EL displays can withstand high shock loads as well as
severe vibration found in demanding applications. However the glass panel
used in an EL display will break if subjected to bending stresses, high impact,
or excessive loads.
Stresses are often introduced when a display is mounted into a product.
Ideally, the mounting tabs of the display should be the only point of contact
with the system. Use a spacer or boss for support; failure to do so will bend the
display and cause the glass to break. The instrument enclosure or frame should
not flex or distort in such a way that during use the bending loads might be
transferred to the display. Mounting surfaces should be flat to within ±0.6 mm
(±0.25"). Use all the mounting holes provided. Failure to do so will impair the
shock and vibration resistance of the final installation.
The EL480.240-PR2/PR3 is a tab mounted display. Use appropriate length
standoffs to assure that screws through the mounting tabs do not introduce
bending stresses into the display. Do not deflect the ECB out of its normal
plane. The EL480.240-PR2/PR3 mounting tabs were designed for a 3 mm
screw.
WARNING: These products generate voltages capable of causing personal
injury (high voltage up to 230V
during operation.
). Do not touch the display electronics
