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 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.
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.
Avoid bending the display. 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. The
EL320.240-FA3 mounting tabs were designed for a 3 mm screw. Mounting
surfaces should be flat to within ±0.6 mm (±0.025"). Use all the mounting holes
provided. Failure to do so will impair the shock and vibration resistance of the
final installation.
WARNING: These products generate voltages capable of causing personal
injury (high voltage up to 140 Vac ). Do not touch the display electronics
during operation.
Cable Length
A cable length of 0.5 m (20 inches) or less is recommended. Longer cables may
cause visual artifacts such as pixel “jitter” due to data transfer problems
between the host and the display.
Cleaning
As with any glass surface, care should be taken to minimize scratching. Clean
the display glass with mild, water-based detergents only. Apply the cleaner
sparingly to a soft cloth, then wipe the display. Disposable cleaning cloths are
recommended to minimize the risk of inadvertently scratching the display
with particles embedded in a re-used cloth.
