AF1 VGA Operations Manual 020 0349 00A Installation and Handling Mounting 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 MOSFET 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 The AF1 display 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 Ib maximum CAUTION Properly mounted this display can withstand high shock loads and severe vibration in aggressive environments However the glass pane
