GP-4100 Series Hardware Manual 5.1 Cleaning the Display When the surface or frame of the display become dirty, soak a soft cloth in water with a neutral detergent, wring the cloth tightly, and wipe the display. • Do not use paint thinner, organic solvents, or a strong acid compound to clean the unit. • Do not use hard or pointed objects to operate the touch-screen panel, since it can damage the panel surface.
Chapter 5 Maintenance 5.2 Periodic Check Points To keep your GP unit in its best condition, please inspect the following points periodically. GP Operation Environment Is the operating temperature within the allowable range (0ºC to 50ºC)? Is the operating humidity within the specified range (10%RH to 90%RH, dry bulb temperature of 39ºC or less)? Is the operating atmosphere free of corrosive gasses? When using the GP unit inside a panel, the ambient environment refers to the interior of the panel.
GP-4100 Series Hardware Manual 5.3 Replacing the Installation Gasket The installation gasket provides protection against dust and moisture. • A gasket which has been used for a long period of time may have scratches or dirt on it, and could have lost much of its water resistance to be equivalent to IP65f / NEMA #250 TYPE4X/13. Be sure to change the gasket at least once a year, or when scratches or dirt become visible. • The GP unit installation gasket’s model number is “ZC9WG31.
Chapter 5 Maintenance • The gasket must be inserted correctly into the groove for the GP’s moisture resistance. • Since the gasket is flexible but not elastic, be careful not to stretch it unnecessarily, as doing so could tear the gasket. • Be sure the gasket’s seam is not inserted into any of the unit’s corners, only in the straight sections of the groove. Inserting it into a corner may lead to its eventually tearing.
GP-4100 Series Hardware Manual 5.4 Replacing the Backlight • The backlight of the GP-4100 Series cannot be replaced by the user. When the backlight needs to be replaced, please contact your local GP distributor.
