suspect any danger.
The Operator Panel is equipped with an EMERGENCY STOP switch.
Before operating the Operator Panel, make sure that the
EMERGENCY STOP switch on the Operator Panel functions properly.
Operating the Operator Panel when the switch does not function
properly is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury
and/or serious damage to the equipment, as the switch cannot fulfill its
intended function in an emergency.
WARNING
Be sure to connect the cables between the Controller and the Operator
Panel properly. Do not allow unnecessary strain on the cables. (Do not
put heavy objects on the cables. Do not bend or pull the cables forcibly.)
The unnecessary strain on the cables may result in damage to the
cables, disconnection, and/or contact failure. Damaged cables,
disconnection, or contact failure is extremely hazardous and may result
in electric shock and/or improper function of the system. Do not use the
cables near heat or fire.
Do not shock the Operator Panel physically or place any object on
Operator Panel. A liquid crystal display is used for the Operator Panel
display. If the display is damaged, liquid crystal may leak out. Liquid
crystal is harmful. If it sticks on your skin or clothes, immediately wash
your skin and clothes thoroughly with clean water and soap
immediately.
CAUTION
The Operator Panel must be used within the environmental conditions
described in this manual. This product has been designed and
manufactured strictly for use in a normal indoor environment. Using
this product in the environment that exceeds the conditions may not
only shorten the life cycle of the product but also cause serious safety
problems.

2.3 Installation
2.3.1 Gasket
Applicable model: ST400-WP01
Even in environment that do not require drip-proofing, be sure to use the gasket
(accessory provided with OP1). Install the Operator Pendant on a flat, level surface
with the display facing down, and attach the gasket (provided) into the front
bevelled groove from the rear.
Precautions When Handling the Gasket
-Before y ou install the Operator Panel, make sure that the gasket is attached to the
Operator Panel.
-Gasket that is used for long periods of time or once has been installed on the
panel is scratched or dirty, and may not qualify IP65 dust-proofing and
drop-proofing performance. Replace the gasket periodically or when obvious
scratches or dirt is seen.
-Do not insert the seams of the gasket at the corners of the Operator Panel.
Inserting the seams of the gasket at the corners of the Operator Panel may cause a
tensile force to the seams and the gasket may be torn.
-To ensure stable dust-proof and drip-proof, attach the gasket so that its seams
come approximately 50 mm right or left to the middle of product bottom side.

2.3.2 Mounting Holes
Machine the mounting part. For details, refer to OP1 manual 2.3.3 Panel Cutout
Dimensions.
-Prepare the gasket and mounting metal hasps to install the Operator Panel.
-To ensure drip-proof performance, install the Operator Panel on a flat surface
free of warping, scratches and unevenness. Attaching a stiffening plate is
effective to prevent warping.
-The allowable panel thickness range is from 1.6 to 5.0 mm. Choose a panel
thickness taking the strength of the panel into consideration.
1.6～5.0mm
-To make it easier to maintain, operate and ventilate the Operator Panel, allow at
least 100 mm space between the Operator Panel and surrounding structures and
parts.

-Prevent the Operator Panel from overheating due to heat generated by other
equipment.
-The Operator Panel is designed for vertical installation. It can also be installed at
an angle. However, in this case, limit the angle of tilt from the vertical to 30 deg.
Within 30deg.
-If the Operator Panel is installed at an angle of tilt exceeding 30 deg, take
measures, such as forced air cooling, to prevent the operating ambient
temperature from exceeding 40 degC.
-Do not install the Operator Panel horizontally .
