Essential Safety Precautions
All safety-related procedures stated in this document must be followed to operate
the RGB unit correctly and safely. Be sure to read this manual and any related
documents thoroughly to understand the correct operation and functions of the
RGB unit.
Safety Icons
Throughout this manual, these icons provide essential safety information for RGB
unit operation procedures requiring special attention. These icons indicate the
following levels of danger:
General Safety Precautions
Indicates situations where death, severe injury, or
major equipment damage can occur.
Indicates situations where slight 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.
Due to the possibility of an electrical shock, be sure to unplug the Display
unit’s power supply prior to installing the RGB unit.
Be sure to design your system so that a communication faultbetween Display
unit and external device (PLC, etc.) will not cause equipment to malfunction.
This is to prevent any possibility of injury or equipment damage.
Do not modify the RGB unit. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock.
Do not allow water, liquids, or metal particles to enter into the RGB unit’s
case, otherwise it can cause a malfunction or electrical shock.

Unit Disposal
Usage Precautions
• When using RGB signal input, a blue background may appear momentarily
while the screen is adjusted or when a PC screen is switched. This
phenomenon is normal and the RGB unit is not malfunctioning.
• With some types of RGB signals, the displayed images or RGB output images
may contain noise or may blur during the screen adjustment. It is possible that
these problems cannot be adjusted completely, given the RGB unit's available
range of adjustment.
• When images without the supported resolution or refresh rate are input, a blue
background screen will appear.
• Use a RGB cable with a connector of 18 mm (0.71 in.) or less in thickness.
• Use a USB cable with a connector of 8.5 mm (0.33 in.) or less in thickness.
• Turn the PC power off before removing the USB cable. Removal of the USB
cable while the electricity is on may result in unstable PC operation.
When the USB cable is disconnected, reboot the PC.
Avoid storing or operating the RGB unit in locations where it will be exposed
to direct sunlight, high temperature, excessive dust, or vibration.
Avoid storing or operating the RGB unit in locations where large and sudden
temperature changes can occur, possibly causing condensation.
Do not store or operate the RGB unit where chemicals can evaporate, be
present in the air and adhere to the unit.
Since the RGB unit is a precision instrument, do not store or operate it in
locations where strong physical contact or excessive vibration can occur.
Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the outside of the RGB
unit. Instead, soak a soft cloth in a diluted neutral detergent, wring it tightly
and then wipe the unit’s outside case.
When the RGB unit is disposed of, it should done so according to your
country’s regulations for similar types of industrial waste.
