Essential Safety Precautions
All safety-related procedures stated in this document must be followed to operate the AGP correctly and safely. Be sure to
read this and any related documents thoroughly to understand the correct operation and functions of the AGP unit.
Safety Icons
Throughout this manual, these icons provide essential safety information for AGP operation procedures requiring special
attention. These icons indicate the following levels of danger:
System Design
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.
Do not create AGP touch panel switches that could possibly endanger the safety of personnel or equip-
ment. A malfunction of the AGP unit, its I/O unit(s), cable(s), or other related equipment can cause unex-
pected output signals, leading to a serious accident. Be sure to design all important machine operation
switches so they are operated via a separate control system, and not via the AGP.
Do not create AGP touch panel switches to control machine safety operations, such as an emergency
stop switch. Install these switches as separate hardware switches, otherwise severe bodily injury or equip-
ment damage can occur.
Be sure to design your system so that a communication fault between the AGP and its host controller will
not cause equipment to malfunction. This is to prevent any possibility of bodily injury or equipment dam-
age.
Do not use the AGP as a warning device for critical alarms that can cause serious operator injury,
machine damage or can halt system operation. Critical alarm indicators and their control/activator units
must be designed using stand-alone hardware and/or mechanical interlocks.

Handling
Wiring
Maintenance
Do not use the AGP 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.
Be sure to use redundant and/or failsafe system designs to ensure adequate levels of system reliability
and safety when using the AGP with transportation vehicles (trains, cars and ships), disaster and crime
prevention devices, various types of safety equipment, non-life support related medical devices, and other
similar equipment.
After the AGP unit's backlight burns out the touch panel is still active, unlike the AGP unit's "Standby
Mode". If the operator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and touches the panel, a potentially
dangerous machine operation error can occur. Therefore, do not create AGP unit touch panel switches
that may cause injury and/or equipment damage. If your AGP unit's backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the
following steps to determine if the backlight is actually burned out.
1) If the AGP unit's "Backlight Control" is not set and the screen has gone blank, your backlight is burned out.
2) If the AGP unit's "Backlight Control" is set to Standby Mode and the screen has gone blank, and touch-
ing the screen or performing another input operation does not cause the display to reappear, your back-
light is burned out.
To prevent an accidental machine operation error, Pro-face suggests you use the AGP unit's built-in burn-
out detection feature. This feature will automatically detect a backlight burnout and disable the touch
screen. (factory default setting is enabled).
Do not modify the AGP unit. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock.
Do not operate the AGP in an environment where flammable gases are present, since it may cause an
explosion.
To prevent an electric shock be sure to disconnect your AGP unit's power cord from the power supply
before wiring the AGP.
Do not use voltage beyond the AGP unit's specified range. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock.
Do not connect or disconnect Host/PLC and AGP unit communication cables while the AGP is turned ON.
Do not replace the AGP unit's battery yourself. The AGP uses a lithium battery for backing up its internal
clock data and the battery may explode if it is replaced incorrectly. When replacement is required, please
contact your local AGP distributor.

Unit Disposal
General Safety Precautions
Be sure all cable connectors are securely attached to the AGP unit. A loose connection may cause incor-
rect input or output signals.
Be sure to ground the AGP unit's FG wire separately from other equipment FG lines. Also, be sure to use
a grounding resistance of 100Ωor less and a 2mm2or thicker wire, or your country's applicable standard.
Be sure to use only the designated torque to tighten the AGP unit's terminal block screws. If these screws
are not tightened firmly, it may cause a short-circuit, fire or incorrect unit operation.
Be sure that metal particles and wiring debris do not fall inside the AGP unit. They can cause a fire, mal-
function or incorrect unit operation.
Be sure to turn the AGP unit's CF Card ACCESS switch OFF and confirm that the ACCESS lamp is not lit
prior to inserting or removing a CF Card. Otherwise, CF Card internal data may be damaged or lost.
Do not reset or turn the AGP OFF, or insert or remove the CF Card while the AGP unit's CF Card is being
accessed. Create special application screens to perform operations like turning power OFF, resetting the
AGP or inserting or removing the CF Card.
Be sure to dispose of the AGP according to your country's industrial waste disposal standards.
Do not press on the AGP unit's display with excessive force or with a hard object, since it can damage the
display. Also, do not press on the touch panel with a pointed object, such as the tip of a mechanical pencil
or a screwdriver, since doing so can damage the touch panel.
Do not install the AGP where the ambient temperature exceeds the specified range. Doing so may cause
a unit malfunction.
To prevent abnormally high temperatures from occurring inside the AGP, do not restrict or block the AGP
unit's rear-face ventilation slots.
Do not operate the AGP in areas where large, sudden temperature changes can occur. These changes
can cause condensation to form inside the AGP, possibly causing it to malfunction.
Do not allow water, liquids or metal fragments to enter inside the AGP unit's case, since they can cause
either a malfunction or an electric shock. The allowable pollution degree is 2.

LCD Panel Usage Precautions
• The LCD panel's liquid contains an irritant. If the panel is damaged and any of this liquid contacts your skin, immedi-
ately rinse the area with running water for at least 15 minutes. If the liquid gets in your eyes, immediately rinse your
eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
• The AGP unit's LCD screen may show unevenness in the brightness of certain images or at some contrast settings.
This is an LCD characteristic and not a product defect.
• The AGP unit's LCD screen pixels may contain minute black and white-colored spots. This is an LCD characteristic
and not a product defect.
• The color displayed on the AGP unit's LCD screen may appear different when seen from outside the specified viewing
angle. This is an LCD characteristic and not a product defect.
• When the same image is displayed on the AGP unit's screen for a long period, an afterimage may appear when the
image is changed. If this happens, turn off the AGP, wait 10 seconds and then restart the unit. This is an LCD charac-
teristic and not a product defect.
• To prevent an afterimage:
• Set the AGP unit's display OFF feature when you plan to display the same screen image for a long period of time.
• Change the screen image periodically and try to not display the same image for a long period of time.
Do not operate or store the AGP in locations where it can be exposed to direct sunlight, high tempera-
tures, excessive dust, moisture or vibration.
Do not operate or store the AGP where chemicals evaporate, or where chemicals are present in the air.
Corrosive chemicals: Acids, alkalines, liquids containing salt
Flammable chemicals: Organic Solvents
Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to remove dirt or oil from the AGP unit's surface. Instead, use
a soft cloth moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
Do not use or store the AGP in areas with direct sunlight, since the sun's ultraviolet rays may cause the
LCD's quality to deteriorate.
Do not store the AGP in an area where the temperature is lower than that recommended in the AGP unit's
specifications. Doing so may cause the LCD display's liquid to congeal, which can damage the LCD. Also,
if the storage area's temperature becomes higher than the specified level, the LCD's liquid may become
isotropic, causing irreversible damage to the LCD. Therefore, only store the AGP in areas where tempera-
tures are within the AGP unit's specifications.
After turning OFF the AGP, be sure to wait a few seconds before turning it ON again. The AGP may not
operate correctly if it is restarted too quickly.
Due to the possibility of unexpected accidents, be sure to back up the AGP unit's screen data regularly.
