SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Please note: These instructions are intended for use by a
competent programmer, electrician, technician or engineer. These
instructions should be read and kept as a reference
prior to display installation and use. Incorrect operation of
the display can present a significant threat to both individuals
and equipment. In the event of a break down, do not attempt
to repair the display as there are no user serviceable parts
inside the enclosure. Any evidence of tampering will invalidate
the warranty.
5.0 APPLICATION
This operating and installation manual should be
used in conjunction with the online help provided
with the Pro-FX Control 1.1 development
environment. Together, this information should
form a basis for the simple configuration of the
display and the creation of programs specific to your
application needs. The correct operation and function
of the display is dependent on the program that is
created and ultimately downloaded to the hardware,
therefore extensive testing is required. Customers
programming the display possess the responsibility
of ensuring that the display performs as intended.
Please note: These displays require the installation of appropriate
firmware and a hardware-specific description file and libraries
before initial use in the application environment.
