•
Shielded cables are recommended and, in some cases, necessary to ensure reliable
communication and appliance with agricultural EMC standards.
4.3.1.
Recommendations for cable shields
To achieve electromagnetic compliance and stable operation of the system, shielded cables
are required for Ethernet and USB interfaces.
4.4.
Special considerations
To ensure proper and reliable operation, and to retain the device’s IP-classification, the below
recommendations must be followed:
•
The device should be placed in a way that prevents direct and continuous exposure to
water or proximity to hot-air vents.
•
To enable sufficient cooling, the device must be installed in a way that allows ambient air to
circulate around it. A clearance of at least 50 mm around the device is recommended.
•
To maintain IP classification, all connectors must have a mating external connector
attached. Protective caps shall be used on all non-mated connectors. Please note that the
protective caps mounted on the connectors are for transportation protection only.
•
The device has a ventilation membrane, refer to Figure 3 for the location. For proper
ventilation of the device, dirt and water must be prevented from accumulating and covering
the membrane. Be cautious not to insert objects which may puncture the membrane. Doing
so will violate the IP-classification and void the warranty of the device.
•
Install the device and any cables attached in a way that they are not subject to excess
vibrations or other potentially harmful stress.
•
Loose fasteners are a common cause for excessive vibration. Fasteners may come loose
due to improper mounting techniques such as omitting thread lockers (fluid locker or
locking washers) or by over/under-tightening. Proper tightening requires dry, clean
fasteners and a torque wrench.
•
If the device is exposed to chemicals, water, dirt or other pollutants, it is recommended to
have it cleaned off as soon as possible. See chapter 4.5.1 for cleaning instructions.
4.5.
Handling and maintenance
Handle the device with care and pay attention to the following handling instructions:
•
Disconnect all cables to the device during welding or when performing other service to the
machine imposing a risk of damaging electronic devices.
•
Service and repair to the device shall only be made by authorized personnel. If the device
is opened by unauthorized personnel, its warranty will be void.
•
Scratches or other damages may occur to the display surface if it is exposed to sharp
objects, abrasives or heavy impacts. This must be avoided to increase the longevity of the
screen.
