For the safe use of this unit, be sure to follow these guidelines:
"Because of the danger of electrical shock, be sure to unplug (disconnect) the power
cable from the FP before plugging the cable's other end into the power supply.
"Do not use power in excess of the unit's specified voltage range since it may cause a fire,
anelectricalshock,or damage the unit.
"Because the FP contains high voltage parts, an electric shock can occur when disassem-
blingtheunit.Therefore,besuretoalwaysunplugtheunitbeforedisassemblingit.
"Do not modify the FP in any way, since it may cause either a fire or an electrical shock.
"Whenchangingthebacklight,besuretoturnofftheunit'spowerfirst,topreventanelectric
shock.
"Donotusetouchpanelkeystoperformlife-threateningorvitallyimportantsafetyfunctions.
Use separate hardware switches to provide machine emergency stop or other safety
functions.
"Ifsubstantialamountsofmetallicdust,waterorliquidsentertheFP'scase,turnofftheFP's

"Wheninstalling the FP,besuretofollowtheinstructions given in “Chapter 3. Installation
andWiring,"toinsureitisperformedcorrectly.
"DonotusetheFPinanenvironment with flammable gas since it may causean
explosion.
"The FP is not intended for applications requiring extremely-high reliability and safety,
such as aircraft equipment, aerospace equipment, central communication equipment,
nuclear control equipment or life-supporting medical equipment.
"When the FP is used for equipment that must provide high reliability and safety in its
functions and accuracy, the entire system that uses the FP must have its safety features
designed to include redundancy and error-prevention.
Examples of such usage are: transportation (trains, automobiles, ships, etc.), disaster/
crime-prevention devices, numerous safety devices, and medical equipment not related
to life support.

UL Application Notes
The FP-770 is a (c)UL 1950 recognized product. (UL File No.190533). Please
pay special attention to the following instructions when applying for UL
approval for machinery which includes one of these FP units built in.
Machinery with an FP unit mounted in it requires UL inspection for the
combination of the FP and the machinery.
The FP-770T conforms as a component to the following standards:
UL 1950, Third Edition, dated April 30, 1998 (Standard for Safety of
Information Technology Equipment, including Electrical Business Equip-
ment)
CSA-C22.2 No. 950-M95 (Standard for Safety of Information Technol-
ogy Equipment, including Electrical Business Equipment)
FP-770T (UL Registration Model No.: 0880047)
If the FP is installed so as to cool itself naturally, be sure to install the
unit in a vertical position. Also, be sure that the FP is installed so that it
is at least 100mm away from any adjacent structures or devices. If these
requirements are not met, the heat generated by the PL’s internal compo-
nents may cause the unit to fail to meet UL standard requirements.
CE Marking Notes
The FP-770T is a CE marked, EC compliant product.
<Complies with the following EC Directives>
EMC Directives 89/336/EEC, 92/31/EEC, 93/68/EEC

The FP's analog RGB interface offers normal display performance within the
following ranges:
Since some commercially-available video interface equipment also accomodates
tracking ranges in excess of those shown above, they may not offer normal display
performance when used with the PC. Before using a video interface, be sure to
check its specifications.
Also, even if the same type personal computer is used to transfer data to the PC,
the above mentioned problems can also occur when the PC's video board is
replaced.
The touch panel's PS/2 mouse connector can be used with equipment conforming
to PS/2 mouse standards, however specified performance cannot be guaranteed
with every PC and mouse combination.
Also, certain restrictions may apply to the touch panel's PS/2 mouse connector
depending on the OS being used.
If an extended mouse/keyboard cable is connected through the FP, the FP may not
operate normally, depending on the combination of the host and mouse/keyboard
or its cable length. In such a case, connect the mouse/keyboard cable directly to
thehost.
While the FP('s OS) is starting up, please do not touch the screen's touch panel.
PC Connection Notes

FP-770T User's Manual ix
•Large-sized, high-quality color LCD
The monitor uses a 13.8 inch TFT type color LCD, and the 260,000 display colors
allow a wide variety of screen designs. The features of this display are easy-to-
read images and text, wide view angle, high contrast, and fast response.
•FP's large-sized display is compatible with the XGA mode
The FP is compatible with XGA mode, allowing a large variety of information to
be displayed.
•Display mode is automatically selected (Multi-scan)
The FP's multi-scan feature automatically selects the display mode, according to
the host’s display mode (VGA, SVGA, XGA or US Test).
•PC data can be displayed on the FP
Since the FP is connected to the host through an analog RGB interface, it can also
be easily connected to a personal computer and used as a display.
For the available display modes, see “PC Connection Notes”)
•Rear-mounting type is designed to be built into other equipment
The slim and compact body is designed specifically to be built into machine cabinets
and panels. Since the FP can be easily used with other equipment, it can be used as
a monitor for your PC-based FA or PA system. Also, the FP front panel's moisture
resistant gasket provides a dust-proof and drip-proof seal between the FP's front
face and the installation panel. Thus, the FP can be used even in harsh industrial
environments.
• Touch panel can be operated while PLC data is monitored (Standard feature)
The FP's touch panel is standard equipment and is suitable for monitoring systems
that require touch operations. Also, the FP provides two types of interfaces between
the touch panel and the host: an RS-232C interface and PS/2 output via the mouse
port. These interfaces can be selected according to your system configuration needs.

The front face of the GP unit, installed in a solid panel, has been tested using condi-
tions equivalent to the standard shown in the specification . Even though the GP
unit’s level of resistance is equivalent to the standard, oils that should have no effect
on the GP can possibly harm the unit. This can occur in areas where either vaporized
oils are present, or where low viscosity cutting oils are allowed to adhere to the unit
for long periods of time. If the GP’s front face protection sheet becomes peeled off,
these conditions can lead to the ingress of oil into the GP and separate protection
measures are suggested. Also, if non-approved oils are present, it may cause deforma-
tion or corrosion of the front panel’s plastic cover. Therefore, prior to installing the
GP be sure to confirm the type of conditions that will be present in the GP’s operating
environment.
If the installation gasket is used for a long period of time, or if the unit and its gasket
are removed from the panel, the original level of the protection cannot be guaranteed.
To maintain the original protection level, you need to replace the installation gasket
regularly.

Signal Names
Signal names used for the FP's serial interface are designed to match the
pin order used on most PC serial interfaces, so that a straight cable can be
used to connect the two. Therefore, connect each pin's signal to the same
signal name on the PC connector.
For example, pin #2 'RD' should be connected to the 'RD' input terminal
on the FP's connector.
Refertosection "2-4 Option CablePinDiagrams" for information abouteach
