Foreword
This manual contains detailed information about the EXTER series operator
terminals, including descriptions of various actions that can be carried out in order
to maintain or update the operator terminal hardware and software.
The manual is intended for persons that should be able to carry out basic
maintenance and replace common parts in an EXTER-series operator terminal.
The manual assumes that the most recent versions of the system program (firmware)
and configuration tool are used.
Please see the Information Designer Reference Manual (MA00749B) for a descrip-
tion of the configuration tool and the installation manuals for information regarding
installation.
Function-based descriptions are available in the User’s Guide (MA00750A).

1 Safety Precautions
The person responsible for maintenance of the operator terminal must read and
understand the installation manual and the safety precautions.
– Only qualified personnel may install, operate or maintain the operator terminal.
– Avoid exposing the operator terminal to the following:
– strong magnetic fields
– direct sunlight
– large, sudden temperature changes
– high humidity (>85%)
– high explosive risks
– Never allow fluids, lose metal filings, or wiring debris to enter the operator
terminal. They may cause fire or electric shocks.
– Storing the operator terminal where the temperature is lower or higher than
recommended in this manual can cause the display liquid (in LCD) to congeal or
become isotopic.
– The display liquid (in LCD) contains a powerful irritant. In case of skin contact,
wash immediately with plenty of water. In case of eye contact, hold the eye open,
flush with plenty of water, and seek medical attention.
– The supplier is not responsible for modified, altered, or reconstructed operator
terminal.
– Only use parts and accessories manufactured according to the supplier’s
specifications.
– Make sure the service area has good ESD protection.
– During operation, the CCFL and DC/AC inverter sections are live with high
voltages that can cause electric shock.
– Only use current-limited power supplies during service. The current should never
exceed the rated maximum current.
– Never apply a voltage outside the specified input voltage range. This can cause
permanent damage and deteriorate EMC protection.
– Make sure the correct versions of the documentation and service instructions are
used during service or maintenance.
– Only upgrade hardware if such instructions are found in the service manual or if
sanctioned by the supplier.
– Replacing the battery incorrectly may result in explosion. Only use batteries
recommended by the supplier.
2 Introduction
This manual describes how to maintain EXTER series operator terminals.
The functions available in the configuration tool depend on which operator
terminal model is used. The manual is divided into the following sections:
– Safety Precautions
– Introduction
– Hardware
– Software
– Environmental Aspects
2.1 General
The HMI range offers four different sized keypad-operated models and five touch
screen models. The different operator terminals are listed in the table below:

2.2 Maintenance
Carefully read the instructions before beginning maintenance on the operator
terminal.
– Only qualified personnel should carry out maintenance.
– The agreed warranty and license agreements apply.
– Any damage to the operator terminal caused by personnel invalidates the
warranty.
– Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, disconnect the
operator terminal from the power supply.
– Clean the display and surrounding front cover with a soft cloth and mild
detergent. Recommended cleaning fluids for the display are water and IPA
(Isopropyl Alcohol or Hexane).
– Replacing the battery incorrectly may result in explosion. Only use batteries rec-
ommended by the supplier.
– A 6-month warranty on all service parts is provided.
Maintenance personnel are permitted to carry out the following actions:
– Replacing the Rear Cover
– Replacing the Battery
– Replacing the Backlight
– Replacing the Complete Front
3 Hardware

low the steps below:
1. Remove the two cross-headed screws to the backlight, using the Phillips size 00
screwdriver. This way, backlights can be removed without removing the plate.
4 Software
This chapter describes how to maintain and update the software in the EXTER
operator terminals. The chapter includes a general description of the operator termi-
nal software and instructions about how to upgrade the software and load projects
and system programs.
Note:
ALL existing data, including the file system and the project application files, in the op-
erator terminal will be deleted (overwritten) by the Image Loader application
Note:
The Image Loader software is only intended for customers and partners that have an
operator terminal. No other distribution is allowed.
Via PC
The configuration tool Information Designer is used to download system programs
via a PC to the operator terminal. The transfer can be made via the serial port or over
Ethernet. The serial cable should be a CAB30 cable and the Ethernet cable should be
a crossed CAT5 cable.
Transferring the system program to the operator terminal via a PC requires
the following:
– PC with the configuration tool installed.
– Transfer cable between the PC and the operator terminal.
– File with new system program (OPSys_b*.cab).
The transfer is made using the following steps:
By Serial Port
1. Connect the cable between the PC and operator terminal.
2. Open a project or create a new project with the desired operator terminal type.
3. Select Transfer/Update Operator Terminal System Program.
No settings are required in the operator terminal.
Over Ethernet
1. Connect the cable between the PC and operator terminal.
2. Set the operator terminal to User Menu mode (see the Mode Switches section).
3. Enter a valid IP address for the operator terminal.
4. Set the operator terminal back to Run-mode (see the Mode Switches section).
5. Open a project or create a new project with the desired operator terminal type.
6. Select Transfer/Update Operator Terminal System Program.
7. Select Settings/Use TCP/IP transfer.
Note:
When updating an operator terminal it is important to ensure that the power is not
interrupted during the transfer.
5 Environmental Aspects
This chapter includes information about the environmental impact of EXTER oper-
ator terminals.
More information can be found on the manufacturer’s web site.
5.2.2 Electronics
Circuit board
The circuit board is largely surface mounted, which means less use of solder com-
pared with through-hole mounting.
The solder material consists mainly of tin (approximately 63%) and lead
(approximately 27%). There may be traces of other substances such as copper and
silver. The tin solder is analyzed regularly. The plastic in the printed circuit board
contains the flame-retardant Tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBPA, brominated). There is
no polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)
Note:
All operator terminals produced after July 1, 2006 will be RoHS compliant.
The electronics are complex and almost all elements of the periodic table are
represented.
Display
There is a separate circuit board for the display. The liquid crystals in the display are
cyclohexane compounds. The fluorescent tube contains mercury and lead solder.
Batteries
The operator terminal contains a button cell lithium battery (Li/MnO2).
The battery is not classified as environmentally hazardous by the Swedish Battery Or-
dinance (1997:645).
5.3 Recycling
The operator terminals consist largely of aluminum. It is a great advantage in terms
of both resources and the environment if it can be recycled. Make sure that operator
terminals taken out of service are sent to facilities for electronic scrap.
The manufacturer’s electronic waste is recycled by Stena Technoworld AB. Alumi-
num front/rear casings and other covers can be removed and recycled. Plastic display
frames and CF covers must be recycled as hard plastic. The circuit board contains
many valuable metals and should therefore be recycled.
Remove the lithium battery. Electrolytic capacitors and displays are currently not
classified as hazardous waste, but may be harmful to health and the environment.
The electrolytic capacitors should be handled as per Handbook 2001:7 (NFS) and
displays as per NFS 2001:8.
The fluorescent tube must be handled as hazardous waste.
The packaging is made from wood fiber and should be recycled. The large printed
label on the front, however, must first be removed as it is made of PVC vinyl. The
label and the plastic bag for the brackets are recycled as soft plastic.
The manufacturer is a member of the REPA register. The protective film on the front
is recycled as soft plastic. When the operator terminal is no longer useful it can be
returned to the manufacturer for environmentally responsible recycling. Contact the
company for further information.
