Essential Safety Precautions
This manual describes safety instructions for correct use of the FP unit. Please keep this manual close at hand and refer to
it when necessary.
Safety Icons
Throughout this manual, these icons provide essential safety information for FP operation procedures requiring special
attention. These icons indicate the following levels of danger:
Indicates situations where severe bodily injury, death or major equipment
damage can occur.
Indicates situations where slight bodily injury or minor equipment damage can
occur.
Indicates actions or procedures that should NOT be performed.
Indicates actions or procedures that MUST be performed to ensure correct
unit operation.
Because of the ever present danger of electrical shock, be sure to unplug the power cable from the FP unit before
plugging the cable’s other end into the wall.
Do not use power in excess of the unit’s specified voltage range since it may cause a fire or electric shock.
Because the FP unit contains high voltage parts, an electric shock can occur when disassembling the unit. Therefore,
be sure to always unplug the unit before disassembling it.
Do not modify the FP unit in any way, since it may cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not use touch panel keys to perform life-threatening or vitally important safety functions. Use separate mechani-
cal switches for such keys.
Do not use the FP unit as a warning device for critical alarms that can cause serious operator injury, machine damage
or production stoppage. Critical alarm indicators and their control/activator units must be designed using stand-alone
hardware and/or mechanical interlocks.

In a situation that a detection function for the backlight burnout has been ineffective, if a burnout of the backlight
happened, unlike in an extinction condition of the backlight of FP, the touch panel is still active. If an operator fails
to notice that the backlight is burned out and touches the panel, a potentially dangerous machine miss-operation can
occur. Therefore, do not set up switches on the touch panel of an FP that are likely to cause human error or physical
damage triggered by mis-operation.
If your FP’s backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the following steps to determine if the backlight is actually burned
out.
1) If your current FP application or Auto off Disp function is not set, and the screen has gone blank, your backlight is
burned out.
2) If your current FP application or Auto off Disp function is set, and if touching the screen does not cause the dis-
play to reappear, your backlight has been burned out.
If substantial amounts of metallic dust, water or liquids enter the FP unit, turn off the power supply immediately,
unplug the power cord, and contact your local FP distributor.
When installing the FP unit, be sure to follow the instructions given in “Chapter 3 Installation and Wiring,” to insure
it is done correctly.
Do not use the FP in an environment with flammable gas, since it may cause an explosion.
The FP is not appropriate for use with aircraft control devices, aerospace equipment, central trunk data transmission
(communication) devices, nuclear power control devices, or medical life support equipment, due to these devices’
inherent requirements of extremely high levels of safety and reliability.
When using the FP with transportation vehicles (trains, cars and ships), disaster and crime prevention devices, vari-
ous types of safety equipment, non-life support related medical devices, etc, redundant and/or failsafe system
designs should be used to ensure the proper degree of reliability and safety.
Do not press the screen’s touch surface too strongly with either your finger or a hard object, since the touch surface
may be damaged.
When the surface of the display screen becomes dirty or smudged, clean the display with a cloth soaked in a neutral
detergent. Do not use paint thinner or organic solvent.
Do not press on the touch panel's face with sharp objects, such as a mechanical pencil or screwdriver, since it might
damage the LCD panel.
Avoid using or storing the FP in direct sunlight, excessively dusty or dirty environments, or where chemicals or their
vapors are present in the air.

LCD Panel Usage Precautions
Notes on the FP’s Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
For detailed LCD information, please contact Digital’s Development department, Product Quality Assurance group.
• The FP’s LCD contains a strong irritant. If the panel is damaged and the LCD unit’s liquid contacts your skin, be sure
to wash it with running water for at least 15 minutes. If any of this liquid should enter your eye, be sure to flush the
eye with running water for more than 15 minutes, and see a doctor immediately.
• The FP unit’s LCD screen may flicker or show unevenness in the brightness of certain images or at some contrast
settings. This is an LCD characteristics and not a product defect.
• There’s an individual difference in brightness and tone of LCD screen. Please be aware of this difference before using
the lined-up plural units.
• There are minute grid-points on the LCD surface. These points are not defects.
• The displayed color will look different when viewed from an angle outside the specified view angle. This is also
normal.
• Displaying a single screen image for long periods of time can cause an afterimage to remain. To correct this, turn the
unit OFF for 5 or 10 minutes, then turn it ON again. This phenomenon is a common attribute of the LCD unit’s, and
not a defect. To prevent this effect, you can:
- use the Display OFF feature, if the same image is to be displayed for a long period of time.
- change the screen display periodically to prevent the displaying of a single image for a long period of time.
Avoid restricting the FP’s natural ventilation, or storing and using the FP in an environment that will increase the
FP’s internal temperature.
Do not use the FP in areas where sudden, large changes in temperature may occur. These changes can cause conden-
sation to form inside the unit, possibly causing an accident.
Do not store or use the FP where chemicals (such as organic solvents, etc.) and acids can evaporate, or where chem-
icals and acids are present in the air.
When the product is disposed of, it should be done so according to your country’s regulations for similar types of
industrial waste.

Connecting the FP to a PC
The FP-3710T Series units are designed as a standard XGA display.
Be aware that some types of XGA equipment may not be within the ranges specified in this document, and, therefore,
cannot be connected to the FP.
Also, if you change your PC’s XGA board, there is the possibility that the new board may not be able to be connected to
the FP.
SEE 2.3 Interface Specifications (page2-5)
• When a signal timing value not compatible with this device is entered, or if the
entered timing is larger than can be displayed by the dot clock, an “Out of range”
message is displayed. If this occurs, be sure to read your computer’s manual
and enter a value that is compatible with this device.
• If no signal (synchronized signal) is entered, a “No signal” message is displayed.

Main Features
The FP-3710T series displays are equipped with the following features.
• High Quality TFT Color LCD Display
This unit is equipped with a 15.0 inch TFT type color LCD. Its superior brightness and wide viewing angle, not found
in ordinary laptop-type TFT LCDs, widens your scope of applications.
The screen's maximum resolution is 1024 × 768 pixels and can display 1,677 colors.
• Easy Installation In User’s Cabinets and Panels
The FP’s slim and compact design makes installation a snap since it was designed specifically for use as an IA (Indus-
trial Automation) or OA (Office Automation) system monitor. The flat, front panel provides protection equivalent to
the rigorous IP65f standard. Even without its optional protective cover the front panel is highly resistant to both water
and dust.
• Panel can be used as a VGA Display
Since the FP is equipped with an analog RGB interface and a DVI-D Interface, it can be connected to a PC and other,
similar devices. (The PC’s dot clock frequency, however, must be within the standard range.)
• Easy-to-use Built-In Touch Panel
The FP’s built-in touch panel is standard equipment, allowing touch panel data to be output to a host PC via an RS-
232C cable or USB cable. This is perfect for systems requiring both touch panel operation and data monitoring.
• USB-HUB function (Model Type: FP3710-T41-U)
The FP-3710T unit has USB-HUB function and can connect USB devices to the front USB connector.

What is IP65f?
This unit’s protection rating of IP65f is actually a composite code, consisting of the internationally recognized British
“Ingress Protection” standard (BS EN 60529:1992) - “IP65”, and the standard developed by the Japanese Electronics
Manufacturer’s Association (JEM) - “f”. This code is used in this manual to identify a given product’s degree of structural
resistance to a variety of environmental elements and thus, prevent problems or accidents related to the inappropriate use
of a product. The individual meaning of each character of this code is explained below.
