Essential Safety Precautions
General Handling:
WARNINGS
Do not use the PS-G unit 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.
Do not use the PS-G 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.
Do not use the PS-G unit in an environment where flammable gases are present. This may result in an
explosion.
Do not disassemble or modify the PS-G unit in any way (except for replacing the backlight). Doing so
may result in a fire or an electric shock.
When using the PS-G unit with transportation vehicles (trains, cars and ships), disaster and crime
prevention devices, various 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.
Be sure to design your system so that equipment will not malfunction due to a communication fault
between the PS-G and its host controller. This is to prevent any possibility of injury or damage.
Safety and emergency switches must be installed as separate hardware devices.
Do not create PS-G touch panel switches that could possibly endanger the safety of equipment and
personnel. This is because damage to the PS-G, its I/O unit(s), cable(s), and other related equipment
can cause an output signal to remain continuously ON or OFF and possibly cause a major accident. To
prevent this type of accident, design monitoring circuits using devices such as limit switches, etc. to
detect incorrect device movement. Also, to prevent accidents related to incorrect signal output, or
incorrect operation, design your system so that all switches used to control vital machine operations are
operated via a control system that is separate from the PS-G.

CAUTIONS
Do not strike the panel of the PS-G unit with a hard, heavy or pointed object, or press the panel with
excessive force. Doing so may result in panel damage or injury.
Do not allow liquids (including water), or metal objects to enter the PS-G unit. This may result in a
malfunction or an electric shock.
Do not block the PS-G unit’s ventilation openings or use it in areas where heat accumulates.
Additionally, do not store or use it under high-temperature conditions.
Do not use or store the PS-G unit in locations subject to direct sunlight, or where excessive dust or dirt
is present.
Since the PS-G unit is a precision instrument, do not store or use it where large shocks or excessive
vibration can occur.
Do not store or use the PS-G unit in environments subject to chemical evaporation (such as that of
organic solvents), or where there are chemicals and acids present in the air.
Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the PS-G unit.
Important PS-G unit screen data should be backed up regularly.
The installation environment for the PS-G unit must satisfy the following requirements. Failure to do so
may cause the unit to malfunction.
Ambient temperature: 0°C to 50°C
Relative Humidity: 10%RH to 90%RH (Non-condensing)
The LCD panel contains a powerful irritant. If for any reason the panel is damaged and this liquid
contacts any part of your body, wash that area with running water for 15 minutes. Similarly, if any of
this liquid enters your eye, flush your eye with running water for 15 minutes and consult a physician.

During Installation:
WARNINGS
Do not use voltage levels other than those specified for the PS-G unit. Use of voltages outside this
range may result in a fire or an electric shock.
PS400G-T41-E124V: DC 24 V±20%
To reduce wire-to-wire or wire-to-earth noise as much as possible, use a low-noise power supply. In
addition, use a twisted-pair power cord.
Separate the PS-G unit’s power line from the power lines to other input/output or motor-driven devices.
Install a surge protector to protect against power surges.
Use a grounding resistance of 100.or less, or use your country’s applicable standard.
Confirm that the main power supply is turned OFF prior to connecting the power cord terminals.
Failure to do so may result in an electric shock.
Since the PS-G is not equipped with a power switch, be sure to connect a breaker-type power switch to
the power cord.
Install the PS-G unit in a vertical position - the unit is not designed to be operated in the horizontal
position.
If the PS-G unit is to be installed in a slanted panel, the panel should not incline more than 30° from the
vertical. If the panel inclines more than 30°, be sure to use forced-air cooling to ensure that the ambient
operation temperature does not exceed 50°C.
During Maintenance:
WARNINGS
Turn OFF the PS-G unit’s power supply prior to performing maintenance. Failure to do so may result in
burns or an electric shock.
Wear gloves when replacing the backlight. Failure to do so may result in burns.

Installation Precautions
• The PS-G unit must be used as a built-in component of an end-use product.
• The PS-G unit should be installed so that it faces out from a panel.
• If the PS-G unit will be reliant on natural cooling, be sure to install it in a vertical panel. Also, be sure that
the PS-G unit is installed 100 mm away from any adjacent structures or other equipment. If these
requirements are not met, the heat generated by the PS-G unit’s internal components may cause the unit
to fail to meet UL and C-UL (CSA) standard requirements.
UL 1604 — Compliance and Handling Cautions

Section 18-152 of the Canadian Electrical Code for units installed within Canada.
2. Suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D, Hazardous Locations.
3. WARNING: Explosion hazard- substitution of components may impair compliance to Class I, Division
2.
4. WARNING: Explosion hazard – when in hazardous locations, turn the power OFF before replacing or
wiring modules.
5. WARNING: Explosion hazard – confirm that the power supply has been turned OFF before
disconnecting equipment, or confirm that the location is not subject to the risk of explosion.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Characteristics
• Depending on the contents being displayed and the contrast settings of the PS-G unit, a wavelike pattern
of varying brightness (contouring) may appear. This is not a defect.
• There are minute grid-points (dark and light) on the Display Panel’s surface. This is part of the PS-G
unit’s design and not a defect.
• The colors on the display panel may appear to change when viewed from the side. This is a common
attribute of LCDs and is not a defect.
• An afterimage may appear on the display panel after a single screen that has been displayed for many
hours is changed to a different screen. The display panel will return to normal if switched off for a short
period of time. This is a common attribute of LCDs and is not a defect.
To prevent afterimages:
• Use the PS-G unit’s “Automatically turn off backlight” feature if you need to display the same screen for
long periods.
Refer to “Chapter 3 2.2 Control Panel Settings”.
• Periodically change the screen display.
For more information concerning other PS-G specifications, please contact your local Pro-face sales
representative.
Backlight Burnout Precautions
After the PS-G unit’s backlight burns out the screen will darken and the display will dissappear. If the
operator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and touches the panel, a potentially dangerous
machine operation error can occur.
WARNINGS
Do not use PS-G touch switches for the control of any equipment safety mechanisms, such as
Emergency Stop switches, etc. that protect humans and equipment from injury and damage.
If your PS-G unit’s backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the following steps to determine if the backlight has
actually burned out.
• If your PS-G is not set to “Standby Mode” and the screen has gone blank, your backlight has burned out.
• Or, if your PS-G is set to Standby Mode, but touching the screen does not cause the display to reappear,
your backlight has burned out.
Also, to prevent accidental machine operation, Pro-face suggests you use the built-in “Disable Input After
Backlight Burnout” feature, that will automatically detect a burnout and disable the designated input
devices.
Refer to “Chapter 3 2.2 Control Panel Settings”.
