SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Preface-1 WindO/I-NV4 User’s Manual
Confirm that the delivered product is what you have ordered. Read this manual to make sure of correct operation.
• Be certain to read this manual carefully before performing installation, wiring, or maintenance work, or operating
the HG2J-7U,HG5G/4G/3G/2G-V, HG4G/3G, HG2G-5F/-5T, HG1G/1P (Hereinafter referred to as "MICRO/I").
• The MICRO/I has been manufactured with careful regard to quality. However, if you intend to use this product in
applications where failure of this equipment may result in damage to property or injury, ensure that it used in
conjunction with appropriate fail-safe backup equipment.
• Precautionary measure should be taken to avoid unauthorized access from the outside network to the MICRO/I.
Please note that the Company shall not be liable for any loss, damage or other expenses incurred directly or
indirectly by unauthorized access, etc.
• In this manual, safety precautions are categorized depending on the severity as Warning or Caution:
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning notices are used to emphasize that improper operation may cause severe
personal injury or death.
Caution notices are used where inattention might cause personal injury or damage to
equipment.
MICRO/I (Common to all models):
• The MICRO/I is not designed for use in applications requiring a high degree of reliability and safety, such as
applications for medical devices, nuclear power, railroads, aerospace, and automotive devices. The MICRO/I
should not be used for such applications.
• Turn off the power of the MICRO/I before installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, and inspection of the
MICRO/I. Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shock or fire hazard.
• Special expertise is required to install, wire, configure, and operate the MICRO/I. Person without such expertise
must not use the MICRO/I.
• The MICRO/I uses an LCD (liquid crystal display) as a display device. The liquid inside the LCD is harmful to the
skin. If the LCD is broken and the liquid attaches to your skin or clothing, wash the liquid off using soap, and
consult a doctor immediately.
• An emergency circuit that uses emergency stop switch must be configured outside of the MICRO/I.
• Do not use touch switches, the function keys and selector switches for an emergency circuit or an interlocking
circuit. If the MICRO/I fails, equipment connected to the MICRO/I will no longer be protected, and serious injury
to operators and equipment damage may be caused.
• In case the MICRO/I is accidentally dropped or exposed to significant shock, stop using the MICRO/I, check the
MICRO/I for damage, and confirm that its various functions work safely and correctly.
• Connect MICRO/I's FG wire to grounding resistance of 100 Ω or less. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock
or malfunction.
• The screen will not be visible if the backlight of the MICRO/I burns out. However, the touch panel and the function
keys will remain functional. Thus, Erroneous touch panel operation or function key operation may occur while
controlling the touch panel. Because such erroneous operations could result in damage, the touch panel and the
function key should not be used once the backlight is burned out.
HG5G/4G/3G/2G-V, HG4G/3G, HG2G-5F/-5T, HG1G/1P:
• When more than one panel spot is pressed at the same time, due to the detection mechanism of the analog type
touch panel used in the main unit, the unit assumes that only the center of the pressed spots is sensed and the
unit assumes that only one button is pressed. Therefore, do not operate the MICRO/I by pressing more than one
button simultaneously.
HG1P:
• For the emergency stop switch and the enabling switch on the main unit, note the following points:
- Connect the emergency stop switch to function as either a category 0 or category 1 stop in accordance with EN60204-1.
- Perform regular checks to confirm that the emergency stop switch and enabling switch work properly. It is extremely
dangerous if the enabling switch no longer returns to position 1 due to a foreign object getting stuck in the switch.
- Do not, under any circumstances, hold the enabling switch in position 2 with tape, string, or deform the rubber
cover. The function of the enabling switch will be lost, and the enabling switch may not work in an emergency.
- Place your finger firmly on the enabling switch.
• The emergency stop function is disabled when main unit is removed from the machine. To eliminate the
possibility of accidents caused by operating the disabled emergency stop switch, place the main unit, removed
from the machine, in a location that is not visible to the operator. Install at least one emergency stop switch on
the machine near the location where the HG1P is connected.

WindO/I-NV4 User’s Manual Preface-2
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
MICRO/I (Common to all models):
• Prevent the MICRO/I from falling while moving or transporting, otherwise it may cause damage or malfunction to
the MICRO/I as a result.
• Use the product within the environmental limits given in the catalog and manual. Use of the product in high-
temperature or high-humidity environments, or in locations where it is exposed to condensation, corrosive gas,
or large shock loads can create the risk of electrocution and fire.
• The MICRO/I is designed for use in pollution degree 2. Use the MICRO/I in environments of pollution degree 2.
(based on the IEC60664-1 rating)
• Install the MICRO/I according to the instructions. Improper installation will result in falling, failure, electrical
shock, fire hazard, or malfunction of the MICRO/I.
• Prevent metal fragments or wire chips from dropping inside the MICRO/I housing. Ingress of such fragments
and chips may cause fire hazard, damage, and malfunction.
• Use a power supply of the rated value. Using a wrong power supply may cause fire hazard.
• When exporting the MICRO/I to Europe, use an EN60127 (IEC60127) approved fuse on the power line outside
the MICRO/I.
• When exporting the MICRO/I to Europe, use an EU-approved circuit protector.
• Make sure of safety before starting and stopping the MICRO/I. Incorrect operation of the MICRO/I may cause
mechanical damage or accidents.
• The touch panel of the MICRO/I is made of glass, and will break if exposed to excessive shock. Take due care
when handling it.
• The protective film attached to the display of the MICRO/I is to protect the product from scratches during
transportation. Please remove the protective film before use. If the display is used with protective film, the film
may become cloudy and stick to the display depending on the usage environment and may become unremovable.
• Do not push hard or scratch the touch panel and protection sheet with a hard object like hand tool. Touch panel
and protection sheet can be easily damaged.
• Do not install the MICRO/I in areas subjected to strong ultraviolet rays, since ultraviolet rays may impair the
quality of the LCD.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, repair or modify the MICRO/I. This can create the risk of fire or electrocution.
• When disposing of the MICRO/I, do so as an industrial waste.
• Do not switch off the power or pull out the SD Memory Card or the USB flash drive while it is being accessed, as
this may result in destruction of the stored data. If the data on the SD Memory Card or the USB flash drive is
corrupted, format the SD Memory Card or the USB flash drive.
• Turn off the power supply of the MICRO/I before connecting or disconnecting USB devices other than USB memory.
HG2J-7U:
• The main unit uses “PS2 of EN61131” as DC power supply. (based on the IEC/EN61131 rating)
• Use wire of a proper size to meet the voltage and current requirements.
HG5G/4G/3G/2G-V, HG4G/3G, HG2G-5F/-5T, HG1G/1P:
• There is no function to correct the time. Do not use device beyond the rated operating temperature, otherwise
the clock accuracy will be affected.
HG5G/4G/3G/2G-V, HG4G/3G, HG2G-5F/-5T, HG1G:
• The main unit uses “PS2 of EN61131” as DC power supply. (based on the IEC/EN61131 rating) Use wire of a
proper size to meet the voltage and current requirements, and tighten the terminal screws of the main unit to
the specified tightening torque.
HG5G/4G/3G/2G-V, HG4G/3G, HG2G-5F:
• Be sure to confirm that the SD Memory Card Access lamp is not lit prior to turning the power off to the main unit
or pulling out the SD memory card. Refer to this manual for details.
HG1P:
• Use the HG1P optional cable for proper wiring.
• The D-sub connector on the end of the HG1P optional cable is not water- or dust-proof. If protection against
water and dust is required, the user must replace the D-sub connector with a water-proof connector.
