This manual includes procedures that must be followed to operate the GP cor-
rectly and safely. Be sure to read this manual and any related materials thoroughly
to understand the correct operation and functions of this unit.
Safety Icons
Throughout this manual the following icons are provided next to GP operation
procedures requiring special attention, and provide essential safety information.
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 machine damage can occur.
System Design
• Do not create GP touch panel switches that could possibly
endanger the safety of equipment and personnel. Damage
to the GP, its I/O unit(s), cable(s), and other related equip-
ment can cause an output signal to remain continuously
ON or OFF and possibly cause a major accident. There-
fore, design all monitoring circuits using limit switches,
etc. to detect incorrect device movement. To prevent acci-
dents related to incorrect signal output or operation, de-
sign all switches used to control vital machine operations
so they are operated via a separate control system.
• Please design your system so that equipment will not
malfunction due to a communication fault between the GP
and its host controller. This is to prevent any possibility of
bodily injury or material damage.
• Do not use the GP 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.
• The GP is not appropriate for use with aircraft control
devices, aerospace equipment, central trunk data trans-
mission (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.

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Preface
GP-2400/2500/2600 Series User Manual 5
• Do not create switches used to control machine safety
operations, such as an emergency stop switch, as a GP
touch screen icon. Be sure to install these switches as
separate hardware switches, otherwise severe bodily
injury or equipment damage can occur.
• When using the GP with transportation vehicles (trains,
cars and ships), disaster and crime prevention devices,
various types of safety equipment, non-life support re-
lated medical devices, etc. redundant and/or failsafe sys-
tem designs should be used to ensure the proper degree
of reliability and safety.
Touch Panel
• After the GP’s backlight burns out, the touch panel is still
active. If the operator fails to notice that the backlight is
burned out and touches the panel, a potentially danger-
ous malfunction can occur.
If your GP’s backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the follow-
ing steps to determine if the backlight is actually burned out.
1) When the backlight burnout feature is not set, and
the screen has gone blank, your backlight is burned
out.
2) When the backlight burnout feature is set, and the
screen has gone blank, if touching the screen does
not cause the backlight to tourn ON, your backlight is
burned out.
It is recommended to use the feature that disables the
device operation to prevent accidental machine
misoperation when a backlight burnout is detected auto-
matically.
Wiring
• To prevent electrical shock or equipment damage, unplug
the GP unit’s power cord from the power supply prior to
installing or wiring the GP.
• After completing any GP wiring work, be sure the terminal
block’s protective plastic cover is reattached. If this
cover is not reattached, an electrical shock could easily
occur.
• Do not use power beyond the GP’s specified voltage
range. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock.
WARNINGS
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Preface
GP-2400/2500/2600 Series User Manual

Installation/Maintenance
• Be sure to securely connect all cable connectors to the GP.
A loose connection may cause incorrect input or output.
Wiring
• Ground the GP’s FG line separately from other units’ FG
lines. Putting these FG lines too close may cause an elec-
tric shock or unit malfunction. Be sure to use a grounding
resistance of 100ΩΩ
ΩΩ
Ωor less and a 2mm2or thicker wire, or
your country’s applicable standard.
• Correctly wire the GP, be sure that the rated voltage and
terminal layout are within the designated range. If the
voltage supplied differs from the rated voltage, or incor-
rect wiring or grounding is performed, it may cause a fire
or unit malfunction.
WARNINGS
Battery Replacement
• The GP uses a lithium battery for backing up its internal
clock data. If the battery is incorrectly replaced, the bat-
tery may explode. To prevent this, please do not replace
the battery yourself. When the battery needs to be re-
placed, please contact your local GP distributor.
Installation/Maintenance
• High voltage runs through the GP. Except for replacing
the backlight, never take apart the GP, otherwise an elec-
trical shock can occur.
• Do not modify the GP unit. Doing so may cause a fire or
an electric shock.
• Do not use the GP in an environment where flammable
gasses are present, since operating the GP may cause an
explosion.

Preface
GP-2400/2500/2600 Series User Manual 7
• Use only the designated torque to tighten the GP’s termi-
nal block screws. If these screws are not tightened firmly,
it may cause a short-circuit, fire, or GP malfunction.
• Be careful that metal filings and wiring debris do not fall
inside the GP, since they can cause a fire, GP malfunc-
tion, or incorrect operation.
Touch Panel/CF Card
• The liquid crystal panel contains a powerful irritant and if
for any reason the panel is damaged and this liquid con-
tacts any part of your body, be sure to wash that area with
running water for 15 minutes. If any of this liquid enters
your eye, flush your eye for 15 minutes with running water
and contact a physician.
• Prior to inserting or removing a CF Card, be sure to turn
the GP’s CF Card ACCESS switch OFF and to confirm that
the ACCESS lamp is not lit. If you do not, CF Card inter-
nal data may be damaged or lost.
• While a CF Card is being accessed, NEVER turn OFF or
reset the GP, or insert or remove the CF Card. Prior to
performing these operations, create and use a special GP
application screen that will prevent access to the CF Card.
Unit Disposal
• When this unit is disposed of, it should be done so ac-
cording to your country’s regulations for similar types of
industrial waste.

General Safety Precautions
• Do not strike the touch panel with a hard or pointed object, or press
on the touch panel with too much force, since it may damage the
touch panel or the display.
• Do not install the GP where the ambient temperature can exceed the
allowed range. Doing so may cause the GP to malfunction or shorten
its operation life.
• Do not restrict or limit the GP’s naturally occurring rear-face ventila-
tion, or storing or using the GP in an environment that is too hot.
• Do not use this unit in areas where large, sudden temperature
changes can occur. These changes can cause condensation to form
inside the unit., possibly causing the unit to malfunction.
• Do not allow water, liquids, metal or charged particles to enter inside
the GP’s case, since they can cause either a GP malfunction or an
electrical shock.
• Do not use or store the GP in direct sunlight, or in excessively dusty
or dirty environments.
• Do not store or use the unit where strong jolting or excessive vibra-
tion can occur.
• Do not store or use the GP where chemicals (such as organic sol-
vents, etc.) and acids can evaporate, or where chemicals and acids
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 clean the GP.
• Do not store or operate the LCD display in areas receiving direct
sunlight, since the sun’s UV rays may cause the LCD display’s qual-
ity to deteriorate.
• Storing this unit in areas at a temperature lower than is recommended
in this manual’s specifications may cause the LCD display’s liquid
to congeal, which may damage the panel. Conversely, if the storage
area’s temperature becomes higher than the allowed level, the LCD’s
liquid will become isotropic, causing irreversible damage to the LCD.
Therefore, be sure to store the panel only in areas where tempera-
tures are within those specified in this manual.
• Do not connect or disconnect the communication cable to the host
machine while the power is ON.
• Due to the possibility of unexpected accidents, be sure to back up
the GP’s screen data regularly.

About the GP’s Display Panel
• The GP’s currently displayed data, its voltage*1 and brightness set-
ting each affect the intensity of Contouring. (i.e, when some parts of
the screen are brighter than others, creating a wavelike pattern)
• There are minute grid-points (dark and light) on the Display Panel’s
surface. This is part of the GP’s design and not a defect.
• Extended shadows, or “Crosstalk” may appear on the sides of screen
images. This is normal for an LCD display.
• Sometimes the display area may look as if the display colors have
changed. This is a common attribute of LCD’s and is not a defect.
• Displaying a single image for long periods can cause an afterimage
to remain when the display is changed to another screen.
To prevent this effect:
• Do not display any single screen for a long period of time. Try
to periodically change the screen display.
*1 If the GP’s voltage is at the very low end of its allowable range, it may effect the
intensitly of contouring.
