2.1
Mounting TFEL displays
Properly mounted, TFEL displays can withstand high shock loads as well as severe vibration
found in demanding applications. However, the glass panel used in a TFEL display will break if
subjected to bending stresses, high impact, or excessive loads.
Avoid bending the display. Stresses are often introduced when a display is mounted into a
product. Ideally, the mounting tabs of the display should be the only point of contact with the
system. Use a spacer or boss for support; failure to do so will bend the display and cause the
glass to break. The instrument enclosure or frame should not flex or distort in such a way
that the bending loads might be transferred to the display during use. The EL320.240.36-HB
mounting tabs are designed for 3 mm screws. Mounting surfaces should be flat to within ±0.6
mm (±0.025"). Use all the mounting holes provided. Failure to do so will impair the shock
and vibration resistance of the final installation.
CAUTION:
To prevent injury in the event of a glass breakage, a protective overlay should be
used on the viewer side of the display.
WARNING:
These products generate voltages capable of causing personal injury (high
voltage up to 235 V
AC
). Do not touch the display electronics during operation.
2.2
Cable length
A maximum cable length of 0.6 m (24 in.) is recommended. Longer cables may cause data
transfer problems between the data transmitted and the display input connector. Excessive
cable lengths can pick up unwanted EMI.
2.3
Cleaning
As with any glass or coated surface, care should be taken to minimize scratching. Clean the
display glass with mild, water-based detergents only. Apply the cleaner sparingly to a soft
cloth, then wipe the display. Disposable cleaning cloths are recommended to minimize the
risk of inadvertently scratching the display with particles embedded in a re-used cloth.
Particular care should be taken when cleaning displays with anti-glare and anti-reflective
films.
2.4
Avoiding burn-in
As with other light-emitting displays, use a screensaver or image inversion to avoid causing
burn-in on the display. Displaying fixed patterns on the screen can cause burn-in where
luminance variations can be noticed.
