Pro-safe GP477R-EG41-24VP User manual

WARNING
•When connecting a power cable to the GP unit, be sure the cable has been unplugged
from the power outlet, so that you would not get an electric shock.
•High voltage runs in the GP unit, so if you take unit apart, there is a danger of getting an
electric shock. Do not take the unit apart.
•Do not use power beyond the specified voltage range. If you do, it may cause a fire or
an electric shock.
•Do not reconstruct the GP unit. It may cause a fire or an electric shock.
•Do not use the GP in an environment with flammable gas in the surrounding atmo-
sphere. It may cause explosion.
•GP use a lithium battery for backing up its internal clock data. If the battery is incor-
rectly replaced, the battery may explode. To avoid the danger, do not replace the
battery yourself. When the battery needs a replacement, please consult with your
local GP distributor.
•Do not use touch panel switches in life-related or important disaster prevention situ-
ations. For safety related switches, such as an emergency switch. use a separate me-
chanical switch.
•Please design your system so that the machine will not malfunction by a communica-
tion fault between the GP and its host controller. If not, there could be a danger of
injuring a person or damaging materials.
To Prevent From Damage:
•Do not hit the touch panel with a hard or heavy object, or press the touch panel with too
much force, for it may cause irreparable damage.
•Do not use GP in an environment where the surrounding temperature exceeds the
specification range, for it may damage the unit.
•Please ensure that liquids or metal do not enter the GP unit, for it may cause malfunc-
tion or a short.
•Please avoid using the unit in areas where sudden, large changes in temperature may
occur. These changes can cause condensation to form inside the unit, possibly caus-
ing an accident.
•To prevent from heat building up inside the GP, please do not install GP where its
ventilation holes may be blocked, or where heat cannot escape. Also, please avoid
using or storing the GP in an extremely hot place.
•Do not operate the GP in areas with temperatures and humidity in express of those
levels specified to prevent the GP’s touch panel from becoming warped or bent.
•Please avoid using or storing the GP under direct sunlight or in a dusty environment.
•This unit is a delicate equipment, so please avoid using or storing the GP unit in an
environment where it can receive strong impact or vibration.
•Please avoid using or storing GP where vaporized chemicals or chemicals can stick to
it.
•Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the GP unit or display.
•Because unforeseen circumstances may befall your GP unit, be sure to back up your
screen data.
•After turning this unit OFF, be sure to wait a few seconds before turning ON again. If
the unit is started within a few seconds, it may not start up correctly.

When making a cable, please be aware of the following:
<For RS-422 Connection>
•The following pairs of pin #’s must be connected to each other
...#18 (CSB) <-> #19 (ERB)
...#21 (CSA) <-> #22 (ERA)
•When connecting the RS-422 cable and the #9 (TRMX) and #10 (RDA)
points, a termination resistance of 100Ωis added between RDA and
RDB.
•When the GP is set as a Memory Link type and the cable type is RS-422,
a 4-line system must be setup.

Cut a hole, and mount the GP to the panel from the front.
Attach the Installation Fasteners from behind.
Fasten the screw of the installation fasteners with a screwdriver.
The fastening torque necessary for waterproofing is 0.5-0.6N•m.
•Tightening the screws with too much force can cause a damage.

•Before installing the GP into a cabinet or panel, check that the Installa-
tion gasket is securely attached to the unit.
Confirm the Installation Gasket’s Seating
It is strongly recommended that you use the gasket.
Place the GP on a level surface with the display panel facing downward. Check
that the GP’s installation gasket is seated securely into the gasket’s groove, which
runs around the perimeter of the panel’s frame.

•When the FG terminal is connected, be sure the wire is grounded. Not
grounding the GP unit will result in excess noise and vibrations.
•Wherever you can, use thick wires (max. 2 mm2) for power terminals,
and provide an extra twist to the wire during connection.
•Please use Ring Terminals with the size described below.
•To avoid a short among the ring terminals when the screws get loosen,
please use ring terminals with a sleeve.
7Wiring
•To avoid electric shock, be sure the Power Cable is unplugged from the power
outlet when connecting the cable to the GP unit.
•GP477R-EG41-24VP can only take DC24V input. If you supply power other
than DC24V, you will damage its power supply and the GP unit.
•There is no power switch on the GP unit, so please use a breaker switch.
•Be sure to earth the ground terminal . If there is an accident, there is the
possibility of an electrical shock from the GP.

sively [within ground resistance of 100 W].
9Precaution for Grounding
10 Precautions for Input/Output Signal Lines
•Input and Output signal lines must be separated from the power control cables for
operational circuits.
•If this is not possible, use a shielded cable and the shield should be grounded.
Connect the power cable following the steps below.
1. Check to make sure the Power is Off.
2. With a plus screwdriver, remove the cover on the Power Input Terminal Block.
3. Disconnect the screws from the 3 terminals to be used, align the wire rings and
re-insert the screws.
(Please make sure the connection of the wires are correct.)
•The torque necessary for fastening the screws is between 0.5-0.6N•m.
Please pay special attention to the following instructions when connecting the
power cable to the GP unit.
•If the supply voltage exceeds the GP unit range, connect a voltage transformer.
•For between the line and ground, select a power supply that is low in noise. If
there is an excess amount of noise, connect a noise reducing transformer.
•When supplying power to the GP unit, please separate the input/output and opera-
tion unit lines.
•To increase the noise quality, simply twist the power cable before connecting it
to the GP unit.
•The power supply cable must not be bundled or kept close to main circuit lines
(high voltage, high current), or input/output signal lines.
•Connect a surge absorber to deal with power surges.
•To reduce noise, make the power cable as short as possible.
•After turning this unit OFF, be sure to wait a few seconds before turning ON
again. If the unit is started within a few seconds, it may not start up correctly.
