[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
DANGER
Some failures of the GOT, communication unit or cable may keep the outputs on or off.
An external monitoring circuit should be provided to check for output signals which may lead to a
serious accident.
Not doing so can cause an accident due to false output or malfunction.
If a communication fault (including cable disconnection) occurs during monitoring on the GOT,
communication between the GOT and programmable controller CPU is suspended and the GOT
becomes inoperative.
For bus connection : The CPU becomes faulty and the GOT becomes inoperative.
For other than bus connection : The GOT becomes inoperative.
A system where the GOT is used should be configured to perform any significant operation to the
system by using the switches of a device other than the GOT on the assumption that a GOT
communication fault will occur.
Not doing so can cause an accident due to false output or malfunction.
Do not use the GOT as the warning device that may cause a serious accident.
An independent and redundant hardware or mechanical interlock is required to configure the device
that displays and outputs serious warning.
Failure to observe this instruction may result in an accident due to incorrect output or malfunction.
DANGER Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
resulting in death or severe injury.
CAUTION Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
resulting in medium or slight personal injury or physical damage.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
[MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS]
DANGER
Incorrect operation of the touch switch(s) may lead to a serious accident if the GOT backlight is gone
out.
When the GOT backlight goes out, the POWER LED flickers (green/orange) and the display section
turns black and causes the monitor screen to appear blank, while the input of the touch switch(s)
remains active.
This may confuse an operator in thinking that the GOT is in "screensaver" mode, who then tries to
release the GOT from this mode by touching the display section, which may cause a touch switch to
operate.
Note that the following occurs on the GOT when the backlight goes out.
The POWER LED flickers (green/orange) and the monitor screen appears blank.
CAUTION
Do not bundle the control and communication cables with main-circuit, power or other wiring.
Run the above cables separately from such wiring and keep them a minimum of 100mm apart.
Not doing so noise can cause a malfunction.
DANGER
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before mounting or
removing the GOT to/from the panel.
Not doing so can cause the GOT to fail or malfunction.
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before mounting or
removing the communication unit, option function board or multi-color display board onto/from the GOT.
Not doing so can cause the unit to fail or malfunction.
Before mounting an optional function board or Multi-color display board, wear a static discharge wrist
strap to prevent the board from being damaged by static electricity.
CAUTION
Use the GOT in the environment that satisfies the general specifications described in this manual.
Not doing so can cause an electric shock, fire, malfunction or product damage or deterioration.
When mounting the GOT to the control panel, tighten the mounting screws in the specified torque
range.
