Notes on Safe Use of GV
In this manual, you will find various notes categorized under the following levels with the signal words
“DANGER,” and “CAUTION.”
Note that there is a possibility that the item listed with may have serious
ramifications.
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury and could cause property damage.
•Never use the input function of GV for operations that may threaten human life or to damage the
system, such as switches to be used in case of emergency. Please design the system so that it
can cope with malfunction of a touch switch.
•Turn off the power supply when you set up the unit, connect cables or perform maintenance and
inspection. Failure to do so could cause an electric shock or damage to the unit.
•Never touch any terminals while the power is on. An electric shock may occur.
•You must put a cover on the terminals on the unit when you turn the power on and operate the
unit. Without the terminal cover in place, an electric shock may occur.
•The liquid crystal in the LCD panel is a hazardous substance. If the LCD panel is damaged,
never swallow the leaked liquid crystal. If the liquid crystal spills on your skin or clothing, use
soap and wash off thoroughly.
CAUTION
DANGER
[Notes on System Design]
•Never bundle control cables and input/output cables with high-voltage and large-current carrying
cables such as power supply cables. Keep these cables at least 200 mm away from the power
supply or high-voltage cables. Otherwise, malfunction may occur due to noise.
•For use in a nuclear energy facility, or other facility of such official importance, please consult
your local distributor.
[Notes on Installation]
•Operate (or store) GV under the conditions indicated in this manual and related manuals.
Failure to do so could cause fire, malfunction, physical damage or deterioration.
•Understand the following environmental limits for use and storage of GV. Otherwise, fire or
damage to the unit may result.
- Avoid locations where there is a possibility that water, corrosive gas, flammable gas,
solvents, grinding fluids or cutting oil can come into contact with the unit.
- Avoid high temperature, high humidity, and outside weather conditions, such as wind, rain or
direct sunlight.
- Avoid locations where excessive dust, salt, and metallic particles are present.
- Avoid installing the unit in a location where vibration or physical shock may be transmitted.
•Equipment must be correctly mounted so that the main terminal of GV will not be touched
inadvertently.
•Tighten the GV mounting screws to the specified torque. Excessive tightening may distort the
panel surface. Loose tightening may cause GV to come off, malfunction or be short-circuited.
•Tighten terminal screws on the power input terminal block equally to a torque of 0.5 N•m.
•Check the appearance of GV when it is unpacked. Do not use the unit if any damage or
deformation is found.
•GV has a glass screen. Do not drop or give physical shock to the unit.
[Notes on Cable Connection]
•Connect the cables correctly to the terminals of GV in accordance with the specified voltage and
wattage. Over-voltage, over-wattage or incorrect cable connection could cause fire, malfunction
or damage to the unit.
•Be sure to establish a ground of GV. The FG terminal must be used exclusively for the unit with
the level of grounding resistance less than 100Ω.
•Prevent any conductive particles from entering into GV. Failure to do so may lead to fire,
damage or malfunction.
CAUTION
[Notes on Maintenance and Operation]
•Matsushita Electric Works , Ltd. is not responsible for any damages resulting from repair,
overhaul or modification of GV that was performed by an unauthorized person.
•Do not use thinners for cleaning because they may discolor the GV surface. Use alcohol or
benzine commercially available.
•Do not use a sharp-pointed tool when pressing a touch switch.
•Only experts are authorized to set up the unit, connect the cables or perform maintenance and
inspection.
•GV is equipped with a lithium battery. Lithium batteries contain combustible material such as
lithium or organic solvent. Mishandling may cause heat, explosion or ignition resulting in fire or
injury. Read this manual and related manuals carefully and handle the lithium battery correctly
as instructed.
•If a data receive error occurs when GV and the counterpart (PLC, temperature controller, etc.)
are started at the same time, read the manual for the counterpart unit and handle the error
correctly.
•Switch resolution of the GV series is determined by the
analog-type resistance film. Do not press two or more positions
on the screen at the same time.
If two or more positions are pressed at the same time, the switch
located between the pressed positions activates. Please take
note of this.
[Notes on Disposal]
•At the time of disposal, GV must be treated as industrial waste.
