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 mounting the device on the mounting arm, connecting the cables and 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 control panel

The control panel is operated via the touch screen.

Notice

Damage to the touch screen

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

Only operate the touch screen with your bare finger or with your finger using a suitable glove.
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 Beckhoff protective film. The film provides short-term protection for a few days.

You can either order your device directly with the protective film applied or order a film individually and apply it yourself. Please refer to the price list for the available protective films according to the display size of your device.

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.

You have mounted the protective film.

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.
