GT10/GT30

2.1 Installation

 

 

Separate wiring systems should be used for the power supply unit and the operating unit.

Static Electricity/Noise

Keep the GT10/GT30 main unit, PLC connecting cable, and other wiring as far away as possible from machines which are likely to produce noise (welding equipment, power lines, inverters, motors, etc.).

For use in environments where the frequent occurrence of static electricity, radiation, or induced noise can be expected, the use of shielded cable on all wiring and grounding of shield (1–point ground) is recommended. When wiring the equipment, shielded wires should be electrically insulated to signal lines and signal grounds.

If excessive static electricity is applied to the panel surface, the LCD display unit may be damaged.

Battery Service Life

The service life of the internal battery will be radically shortened if used continually in ambient operating temperatures of more than 40° C/104° F

(50° C/122° F for the GT30) or when the operating voltage exceeds 25V DC. Use caution when using the clock and device hold area functions.

Other Precautions

Do not leave the GT10 connected to the TOOL port of the FP Programmer II.

Always operate the touch panel with your fingers. Excessive load (about 98 N/cm2 ) or impact (operating with tools, etc.) will cause damage. Touch panel operation must be within the standard operating power range. Uniform pressure should be used to avoid abnormal wear of electrodes which may disable operation. Operate the unit only by touch.

Never dismantle, re–assemble, or alter the unit. Performance cannot be warranted if this precaution is disregarded.

2.1.2GT10 Installation Method

Secure the GT10 to the installation panel using the four fittings and four screws provided with the unit.

(1) Place the GT10 main unit in the installation panel.
