(CCFL) for lighting the display. The CCFL tubes can be dimmed for low light
conditions.
These CCFL tubes have a limited lifetime. Backlight lifetime is based upon the
amount of time the display is turned on at full intensity. Turning the backlight off
when the display is not in use can extend the lifetime of your backlight. This can
be accomplished through the DSI8000 software when configuring your unit.
Touchscreen
The TS8006, TS8008, TS8010 and TS8015 utilize a resistive analog touchscreen for
user input. The unit will only produce an audible tone (beep) when a touch on
an active touchscreen cell in sensed. The touchscreen is fully functional as soon
as the operator interface is initialized, and can be operated with gloved hands.
Troubleshooting the TS8000
If for any reason you have trouble operating, connecting, or simply have
questions concerning your new TS8000, contact SSD Drives technical support.
Battery and Time Keeping
A battery is used to keep time when the unit is without power. Typical accuracy
of the TS8000 time keeping is less than one minute per month drift. The state of the
battery does not in any way affect the unit’s program memory. All configurations
are stored in non-volatile flash memory.
Caution – Risk Of Electric Shock: The inverter board, attached to
the mounting plate, supplies the high voltage necessary to operate
the backlight. Touching the inverter board may result in injury.
Please exercise caution while working inside of the unit.
Caution: The circuit board contains static sensitive components.
Before handling the operator interface without the rear cover
attached, discharge static charges from your body by touching a
grounded bare metal object. Ideally, handle the operator
interface at a static controlled, clean workstation. Do not touch
the surface areas of the circuit board. Dirt, oil, or other contaminants may
adversely affect circuit operation.
To change the battery of a TS8000, remove all power and other cabling from the
unit. Next, take off the unit’s rear cover by removing the five screws designated
by the arrows on the rear of the unit. Then, by lifting the top side, hinge the rear
cover, thus providing clearance for the connectors on the bottom side of the PCB
as shown in the illustration below. Remove the old battery from the holder and
replace with a new one. The battery used is a CR2025 lithium button cell.
Assemble in the reverse order.
The following example depicts the battery replacement procedure for a TS8010.
