FP-2500/FP-2600 Series User Manual Digital Electronics Corporation
Preface Thank you for purchasing Digital’s TFT type color display panel, the FP-2500/FP2600 Series unit (hereafter referred to as the FP unit or FP Series). Please read this manual completely to ensure the correct use and complete understanding of the FP unit's functions. 1) It is forbidden to copy the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, except for the user's personal use, without the express permission of Digital Electronics Corporation of Japan.
Essential Safety Precautions Essential Safety Precautions This manual describes safety instructions for correct use of the FP unit. Please keep this manual close at hand and refer to it when necessary. The following symbols are used throughout this manual to ensure the safe use of the FP unit. Please be sure to follow all instructions given since they explain important safety points. Warning Indicates situations where sever bodily injury, death or major equipment damage will occur.
Essential Safety Precautions WARNINGS • After the FP unit’s backlight burns out, unlike the FP unit’s “Standby Mode”, the touch panel is still active. 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 use FP touch switches for the control of any equipment safety mechanisms, such as Emergency Stop switches, etc. that protect humans and equipment from injury and damage.
Essential Safety Precautions CAUTIONS • Do not strike the FP unit’s touch panel with a hard or heavy object, or press on the touch panel with too much force, since it may damage the display. • When the surface of the display screen becomes dirty or smudged, clean the display with a cloth soaked in a neutral detergent. Do not use paint thinner or organic solvent. • Do not press on the touch panel's face with sharp objects, such as a mechanical pencil or screwdriver, since it might damage the LCD panel.
Documentation Conventions • The displayed color will look different when viewed from an angle outside the specified view angle. This is also normal. • Displaying a single screen image for long periods of time can cause an afterimage to remain. To correct this, turn the unit OFF for 5 or 10 minutes, then turn it ON again. This phenomenon is a common attribute of the LCD unit's and not a defect.

3.1 Installation 1. Installation 2. Wiring 3. Operation Mode Setup and Display Positioning Chapter 3 Installation and Wiring 3.1 Installation 3.1.1 Installation Procedures Follow the steps given below when installing the FP. Check the Installation Gasket’s Seating It is strongly recommended that you use the installation gasket, since it absorbs vibration in addition to repelling water. Place the FP on a level surface with the display panel facing downward.
3.1 Installation Creating a Panel Cut Create the correct sized opening required to install the FP, using the installation dimensions given. 2.6.4 FP Installation Dimensions The installation gasket, installation fasteners and attachment screws are all required when installing the FP. Panel Panel Cut • Check that the installation panel or cabinet's surface is flat, in good condition and has no jagged edges.
3.1 Installation • Be sure that the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity are within their designated ranges. (When installing the FP in a cabinet or enclosure, the term “ambient temperature” indicates the cabinet or enclosure’s internal temperature.) Panel Face Panel Interior • Be sure that heat from surrounding equipment does not cause the FP to exceed its standard operating temperature. • When installing the FP in a slanted panel, the panel face should not incline more than 30o.
3.1 Installation Installing the FP Panel 1) Insert the FP into the panel cut, as shown here. Panel Cut FP Top 2) Insert the installation fasteners into the FP unit’s insertion slots, at the top and bottom of the unit. (total:4 slots) Insertion Slots Bottom 3) Insert each of the fasteners as shown right. Be sure to pull the fastener back until it is flush with the rear of the attachment hole.
3.1 Installation 4) Use a Phillips screw driver to tighten each fastener screw and secure the FP in place. Do not use too much force, since it may damage the FP unit. A torque of only 0.5 N•m is sufficient to tighten these screws. • Depending on the panel condition, you can improve moisture resistant effect by increasing the number of installation fasteners. • Installation fasteners are sold by your local FP distributor.
3.2 Wiring 3.2 Wiring Cautions 3.2.1 Connecting the Power Cord WARNINGS • To avoid an electric shock, when connecting the FP unit's power cord terminals to the power terminal block, confirm that the power supply is completely turned OFF, via a breaker, or similar unit. • FP2500-T12 and FP2600-T12 units are designed to use only AC100V to AC240V input. FP2500-T42-24V and FP2600-T42-24V units are designed to use only DC24V input. Any other power level can damage both the FP and the power supply.

3.2 Wiring 3.2.4 Precautions: Grounding (a) Exclusive grounding (BEST) FP unit other equipment • Connect the FP unit's FG terminal to an exclusive ground. [diagram (a) Grounding resistance of under 100Ω.] • If exclusive grounding is not possible, use a common connection point.

1. Regular Cleaning Chapter 7 2. Periodic Check Points 3. Backlight Replacement Maintenance 7.1 Regular Cleaning 7.1.1 Cleaning the Display When the display surface or frame become dirty, use a soft cloth moistened with neutral detergent to wipe away any dust or stains. Neutral detergent Do not clean the unit with thinner, organic solvents, or strong acids. Thinner Organic solvent Strong acid Do not use sharp or hard objects, such as a mechanical pencil or screwdriver, to push on the display.
7.1 Regular Cleaning 7.1.2 Installation Gasket Replacement The installation gasket protects the FP and improves its water resistance. For instructions on installing the FP unit's gasket, refer to Chapter 3 Installation and Wiring 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. Be sure to change the gasket at least once a year, or when scratches or dirt become visible.
7.2 Periodic Check Points • The gasket must be inserted correctly into the groove for the FP unit’s moisture resistance to be equivalent to IP65f. • 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. • The upper surface of the gasket should protrude approximately 2mm out from the groove.
7.3 Backlight Replacement 7.3 Backlight Replacement The backlight is a cold-cathode tube. Although the FP uses a long-life backlight, replacement may be required earlier than expected depending on the environment where the FP is used. The life span of the backlight is as follows: (Time period until the backlight becomes half as bright as a new one) 50,000 hours (approx. 5.7 years) When a burned-out backlight is detected, the status LED flashes alternately green and red, or a steady orange.
7.3 Backlight Replacement Backlight Replacement Follow the procedures given below to replace the FP unit’s backlights. Be sure to wear gloves during replacement. • Be sure to protect the FP front panel’s surface to prevent damage. • The FP-2500 Series units have an upper and a lower backlight. Be sure to replace both. • The FP-2600 Series units have only one backlight.
7.3 Backlight Replacement 7.3.1 Replacing GP577RT-BL00-MS 1) Turn the FP unit’s power OFF (i.e. disconnect the FP unit's power cord). Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the case’s seven (7) rear attachment screws and USB holder. Pivot the rear cover open, starting from the top of the unit. USB holder Rear Attachment Screws 2) The cover is fastened at the bottom, and hinges open. • Be sure not to break the rear cover’s four (4) alignment tabs when you open it.
7.3 Backlight Replacement 6) Loosen the upper and lower backlight holder attachment screws, and remove the upper backlight unit's metal cover. Since the attachment screws are small, be sure not to lose them or allow them to fall inside the FP's case. Attachment Screws 7) Remove the old backlight. Upper Section 8) Insert the new backlight.
