Warning
Caution
• Prior to connecting the FP-2500/FP-2600 Series (hereaf-
ter referred to as the “FP”or FP unit) unit’s power cord
terminals to the Terminal Block, be sure to check that
the FP unit’s power supply is completely turned OFF, via
a breaker, or similar unit.
• Do not use voltage levels that exceed the FP unit’s speci-
fied voltage range. Doing so may cause a fire or an elec-
tric shock.
• Since the FP unit contains high voltage parts, an electric
shock can occur when opening the unit. Therefore, be
sure to unplug the power cord before opening it.
• Do not modify or remodel the FP unit. Doing so may lead
to a fire or electric shock.
• Do not use FP unit touch panel switches in human-safety-
related or important disaster prevention situations. For
safety-related switches, such as an emergency stop
switch, be sure to use a separately installed mechanical
switch.
• Do not use the FP unit as a warning device for critical
alarms that can cause serious operator injury, machine
damage or production stoppage. Critical alarm indica-
tors and their control/activator units must be designed
using stand-alone hardware and/or mechanical inter-
locks.
Essential Safety Precautions
WARNINGS

FP-2500/FP-2600 Series User Manual 3
Essential Safety Precautions
•After the FP unit’s backlight burns out, unlike the FP unit’s
“Standby Mode”, the touch panel is still active. If the op-
erator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and
touches the panel, a potentially dangerous machine op-
eration error can occur. Therefore, do not use FP touch
switches for the control of any equipment safety mecha-
nisms, such as Emergency Stop switches, etc. that pro-
tect humans and equipment from injury and damage.
If your FP unit's backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the
following steps to determine if the backlight is actually
burned out.
1) If your current FP application is not set to turn the back-
light OFF, and the screen has gone blank, your back-
light is burned out.
2) If your current FP application is set to turn the back-
light OFF, and if touching the screen does not cause
the display to reappear, your backlight is burned out.
• If substantial amounts of metallic dust, water or liquids
enter the FP unit, turn OFF the power supply immedi-
ately, unplug the power cord, and contact your local FP
distributor.
• When installing the FP unit, be sure to follow the instruc-
tions given in “Chapter 3 Installation and Wiring".
• Do not use the FP in an environment where flammable
gases are present, since operating the FP may cause an
explosion.
•Do not use the FP with aircraft control devices, aerospace
equipment, central trunk data transmission (communica-
tion) devices, nuclear power control devices, or medical
life support equipment, due to these devices’ inherent
requirements of extremely high levels of safety and reli-
ability.
• When using the FP with transportation vehicles (trains,
cars and ships), disaster and crime prevention devices,
various types of safety equipment, non-life support re-
lated medical devices and others, be sure to use redun-
dant and/or failsafe system designs to ensure the appro-
priate degree of system reliability and safety.
• To prevent operator injury or machine damage, be sure
to design your machine operation system so that the
machine will not malfunction due to a communication fault
between the FP unit and its PC host controller.
WARNINGS

4FP-2500/FP-2600 Series User Manual
Essential Safety Precautions
• Do not strike the FP unit’s touch panel with a hard or heavy
object, or press on the touch panel with too much force,
since it may damage the display.
• When the surface of the display screen becomes dirty or
smudged, clean the display with a cloth soaked in a neu-
tral detergent. Do not use paint thinner or organic sol-
vent.
• Do not press on the touch panel's face with sharp ob-
jects, such as a mechanical pencil or screwdriver, since
it might damage the LCD panel.
• Do not use or store the FP in direct sunlight, excessively
dusty or dirty environments, or where chemicals or their
vapors are present in the air.
• Do not restrict the FP unit's natural ventilation, or store or
use the FP in an environment that will increase the FP's
internal temperature.
• Do not use the FP in areas where sudden, large changes
in temperature may occur. These changes can cause con-
densation to form inside the unit, possibly leading to a
malfunction.
• When the product is disposed of, it should be done so
according to your country's regulations for similar types
of industrial waste.
Notes on the FP unit's Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
• The FP unit's LCD contains a strong irritant. If the panel
is damaged and the LCD unit's liquid contacts your skin,
be sure to wash it with running water for at least 15 min-
utes. If any of this liquid should enter your eye, be sure
to flush the eye with running water for more than 15 min-
utes, and see a doctor immediately.
• The brightness of the LCD screen will depend on the
screen's current display and the LCD unit's contrast ad-
justment. Any brightness variations that result are nor-
mal for LCD displays.
• There are minute grid-points on the LCD surface. These
points are not defects.
CAUTIONS

FP-2500/FP-2600 Series User Manual 5
Documentation Conventions
• The displayed color will look different when viewed from
an angle outside the specified view angle. This is also
normal.
• Displaying a single screen image for long periods of time
can cause an afterimage to remain. To correct this, turn
the unit OFF for 5 or 10 minutes, then turn it ON again.
This phenomenon is a common attribute of the LCD unit's
and not a defect. To prevent this effect, you can:
- use the Display OFF feature, if the same image is to be
displayed for a long period of time.
- change the screen display periodically to prevent the display-
ing of a single image for a long period of time.

can be displayed by the dot clock, an "OUT OF RANGE"
message is displayed. If this occurs, consult your
computer's manual and enter a value that is compatible
with this device.

2600 Series units are designed as a standard SVGA display.
Be aware that some types of VGA/SVGA equipment may not be within the ranges
specified in this document, and, therefore, cannot be connected to the FP.
Also, if you change your PC's VGA/SVGA board, there is the possiblity that the new
board may not be able to be connected to the FP.
