Commissioning

To use the control panel, you must first put it into operation. The first step is to transport the device to is operating location and unpack it. This is followed by installing the device in the control cabinet front, connecting the cables and the power supply and finally switching on the control panel. Since the control panel does not have its own power switch, switching the power supply on and off also switches the control panel on and off.

Operating the device

The device is operated via the touch screen.

Notice

Damage to the touch screen

Operating the touch screen with unsuitable objects may damage the touch screen.

Operate the touch screen only with bare fingers or wearing suitable gloves.
If you use gloves, make sure that no hard particles such as metal shavings, glass splinters or similar adhere to the glove.

If you, as the user, require additional protection for the touch screen against dirt and scratching, for example due to dirty hands, this can be achieved with a protective film. The film provides short-term protection for a few days.

You can either order a protective film individually and fit it yourself retrospectively, or you can order the film for fitting directly ex factory. The protective films available for the display size of your device can be found on the Beckhoff website.

Proceed as follows to attach the protective film to the touch screen:

1. Ensure that the environment is as dust-free as possible.

2. Thoroughly clean the surface of the device to be fitted with the film and remove all grease residues.

3. Detach the film from the backing at the short edge and place it on the surface.

4. Gradually remove the film from the backing. At the same time, use a doctor blade or other object with a soft rubber or felt edge to apply the film.

5. Brush away air bubbles towards the edge with a doctor blade or other object with a soft rubber or felt edge.

The film is now fitted.

If you want to remove the protective film again, you must proceed with caution so as not to damage the touch foil, which is located between the glass pane of the control panel and the applied protective film.

To remove the protective film, proceed as follows:

1. Carefully loosen one corner of the protective film.

2. Carefully pull the protective film off the control panel at the loosened corner at as flat an angle as possible.

You have removed the protective film.
