Therefore, provisions other than the programmable control device must be taken to protect personnel in the event of a programmable control device malfunction. Programmable control devices should not be used as stand-alone protection in any appli- cation. Unless proper safeguards are used, unwanted start-ups could result in equipment damage or personal injury. If programmable control- lers are used with operator interface and like devices, this hazard should be of primary importance. The operator should be made aware of this hazard and appropriate precautions should be taken. In addition, consideration should be given to the use of an emergency stop function that is independent of the programmable controller. The diagrams and examples in this user’s manual are included for illustra- tive purposes only. UTICOR Technology, LP cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the diagrams and examples. CAUTION Static messages that remain on the display for extended periods of time may cause uneven illumination of the dot matrix grid. This is caused by inherent properties of all vacuum fluorescent display technology. To avoid unevenness of display characters, power down unit when not in use. Do not leave the same message on the display for indefinite periods. Brightness damage may be partially restored to normal by performing the “TEST FUNCTION — DISPLAY” option on the PMD. © Copyright 1994–2002 All rights reserved UTICOR Technology, LP AVG Automation P.O.
