5 Product description
The following figure shows the display in working condition:
The displays of the XC640/XC650 series are available for indoor or outdoor use:
Order no.
Application
XC640/XC650-xxx-N-xx
Units for indoor use, protection type IP40
XC640/XC650-xxx-A-xx
Units for outdoor use, protection type IP54
Units for outdoor use have screwed connectors, cable grommet seal with rubber lips and climate
control.
The scope of information consists of the following characteristic values which you assign to the
various fields according to the specific front foil during the first start-up:
•Accident-free days
•Number of accidents
•Accident-free days record
•Workdays lost
•Custom fields 1 to 6
For each characteristic you can enter a fixed number. Alternatively, you can activate the automatic
function to ensure that the field is counted by one further at midnight. Therefore, the display must be
switched on at midnight.
Furthermore, the following information can be displayed as required:
•Current time in HH:MM format
•Current date in DD.MM, DD.MM.YY or DD.MM.YYYY
•Air temperature and humidity with additional sensor
Brightness control
The brightness of the LEDs can be manually adjusted to the ambient brightness.
Alternatively, the automatic brightness control can be activated with the 'SafetyDisplayConfigurator'
(does not apply for displays with infrared control (XC6xx-xxx-x-02)). The display automatically adjusts
its luminosity to the ambient brightness. If the ambient brightness is lower, for example in cloudy sky
or at night, the display dim down automatically to avoid glare effects e.g.. At high ambient brightness
the display increases its brightness for better readability.

BAL XC640/XC650 2.00 15/40
Energy saving mode
With the configuration program 'SafetyDisplayConfigurator‘ the energy-saving mode can be switched
on (does not apply for displays with infrared control (XC6xx-xxx-x-02)).
In this mode, all LEDs are automatically dimmed at a user-defined point of time and re-activated at
another point of time. During the darkening mode only a decimal dot flashes briefly every 30 seconds.
Energy consumption can thus be significantly reduced during the time in which the display is not read,
for example at night.
