Installation and set-up
Do not drop, bend, or flex the display. Do not allow objects to strike the surface of the
display.
CAUTION
: The display uses CMOS and devices. These components are electrostatic-
sensitive. Unpack, assemble, and examine this assembly in a static-controlled area only.
When shipping, use packing materials designed for protection of electrostatic-sensitive
components.
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-FA3
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.
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 cable length of 0.5 m (20 inches) or less is recommended. Longer cables may cause visual
artifacts, such as pixel “jitter”, due to data transfer problems between the host and the
display.
2.3
Cleaning
As with any glass 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.
2.4
Avoiding burn-in
As with other light-emitting displays, displaying fixed patterns on the screen may cause burn-
in where luminance variations can be noticed after many hours of operation. To avoid image
burn-in, use a screensaver or use periodic image inversion, if possible. Note that the rate of
image burn-in will slow over time so that most of the burned-in image effect occurs in the
first few hundred hours of operation.
