2.1
Introduction
The VPU200–3104 is a self-contained unit which houses a CRT display
screen and features an attached hinge keyboard and a 3.3 MByte floppy
disk drive. When the unit is not in use, the keyboard can be folded upward
toward the display screen and latched in that position. The bottom of the
keyboard then becomes the front of a completely closed case. For ease of
handling, a carrying strap is affixed to one side of the case.
The VPU200 is an industrial computer terminal and must be treated with
the care given to electronic test equipment. Observe the following
precautions when handling the unit:
1.
Do not drop the VPU200. Damage to the unit, especially the CRT and
the disk drive, can result.
!
CAUTION
Whenever the VPU200 is not in use, a head protector should be inserted into
the floppy disk drive to prevent damage to the drive. This procedure is most
important if the unit is in storage or transport.
2.
Keep the original packing carton and material to reuse when the unit
must be shipped. This carton and materials must also be used when the
VPU200 is to be stored in the baggage or cargo area of a vehicle
(including the baggage/cargo hold of an airplane).
3.
Because of possible temperature extremes, do not transport the
VPU200 in the trunk of an automobile. For short automobile trips, keep
the VPU200 in a secure position on one of the seats.
The VPU200 must have adequate ventilation. Be particularly careful not to
block the cooling vents located on the side of the VPU200.
!
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the VPU200, observe the following guidelines:
Do not operate the VPU200 if the cooling vents are blocked. If the unit is
mounted in an enclosure, be sure there is sufficient cooling to prevent
temperature build-up in the unit. Failure to observe these precautions will void
the warranty.
Do not operate the VPU200 outside the normal operating range of 10
°
C to 40
°
C
(50
°
F to 104
°
F). If the terminal has been stored outside this range, allow it to sit
at room temperature for a minimum of 45 minutes before turning on the unit.
Never store the VPU200 at temperatures below –40
°
C or above 60
°
C (–40
°
F or
140
°
F).
Be careful not to spill liquids or drop items such as staples or paper clips into
the VPU200 case. Severe damage to electrical components can result.
