Installation and Handling
The mechanical package consists of the display panel and electronic circuit board
adhesively bonded together and mounted in a plastic bezel. The bezel supplies
the mounting ears and protects otherwise exposed leads. The display is made of
glass material and must be handled with care.
CAUTION: The display uses CMOS and power MOS-FET 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.
Do not drop, bend or flex the display. Do not allow objects to strike the surface of
the display.
Mounting EL Displays
The AG1 display series was designed to facilitate the mounting of optical
treatments and touch screens on the viewing side of the display. To this end, the
glass extends in front of the mounting bezel by approximately 0.5 mm (0.02") It is
imperative that any mounting scheme apply uniform pressure across the glass at
all times. Pressure applied only to the corners or edge of the glass is likely to
cause breakage.
Mounting should be done using the mounting ears only. Use either metric M3
screws tightened to 350 Ncm maximum, or unified #4 screws tightened to 4.7
in/lb maximum.
Properly mounted, EL displays can withstand high shock loads as well as severe
vibration found in demanding applications. However the glass panel used in an
EL display will break if subjected to bending stresses, high impact, or excessive
loads.
CAUTION:
To prevent injury in the event of glass breakage, a protective overlay should
be used on the viewer side of the display.
WARNING: These products generate voltages capable of causing personal injury (high
voltage up to 230 V
ac
). Do not touch the display electronics during operation.
