3.1 Installation 3.1.1 Installation Environment
When installing and using the GT series, always make sure the following conditions are observed.
Usage conditions
Operating environment (Use the unit within the range of the general specifications when installing)
- Ambient temperatures: 0 to +50 °C
(It varies according to models when installing the unit in a horizontal orientation or using a C-NET
adapter and FP programmer II.)
- Ambient humidity: 20 to 85% RH (at 25 °C, non-condensing)
- Altitude of 2000 m or less
- For use in pollution Degree 2 environment
- Do not use it in the following environments.
- Direct sunlight, wind and rain. (This product is not designed for outdoor use.)
- Sudden temperature changes causing condensation.
- Inflammable or corrosive gas.
- Excessive airborne dust, metal particles or saline matter.
- Benzine, paint thinner, alcohol or other organic solvents or strong alkaline solutions such as ammonia
or caustic soda.
- Direct vibration, shock or places always exposed to drop of water.
(This unit is warranted by IP65/IP67 (depending on models) for panel mounting, however, this applies
to initial values.)
- Influence from power transmission lines, high voltage equipment, power cables, power equipment,
radio transmitters, or any other equipment that would generate high switching surges. (100 mm or
more)
The usage conditions for Tough series (GT32-E) are as follows.
- Ambient temperatures: -20 to +60 °C (When horizontally installed, -20 to +55 °C)
- Ambient humidity: 10 to 90% RH (at 25 °C, non-condensing)
- The upper limit of the humidity at each temperature is as below.
(Below 40 °C; 90%RH, 50 °C; 55%RH, 60 °C; 35%RH)
- If the product is exposed to heavy rain, condensation might be caused by sudden temperature
changes.
- Altitude of 2000 m or less
- For use in pollution Degree 2 environment
- Do not use it in the following environments.
- Direct sunlight for a long time
(Exposing the product to direct sunlight increases the surface temperature of the display higher t han
ambient temperature, and causes deterioration of LDC panel.)
- Inflammable or corrosive gas.
- Excessive airborne dust, metal particles or saline matter.
- Benzine, paint thinner, alcohol or other organic solvents or strong alkaline solutions such as ammonia
or caustic soda.
- Direct vibration, shock or places always exposed to drop of water.
(This unit is warranted by IP67 for panel mounting, however, this applies to initial values.)
- Influence from power transmission lines, high voltage equipment, power cables, power equipment,
radio transmitters, or any other equipment that would generate high switching surges. (100 mm or
more)
