ESSENTIAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To prevent VM damage
• Do not allow water, liquids, or metal objects to enter the VM Unit. Otherwise, a
malfunction or electric shock may occur.
• Do not use the VM Unit in areas where large, sudden temperature changes can
occur. These changes can cause condensation to form inside the unit, possibly
causing the unit to malfunction.
• Do not use or store the VM Unit in direct sunlight or in excessively dusty
environments.
• Since the VM Unit is a precision instrument, do not use or store it where large
shocks or excessive vibration can occur.
• Do not use or store the VM Unit where chemicals can evaporate, where chemicals
are present in the air, or where chemicals can adhere to the unit.
• To prevent an electric shock, prior to VM Unit installation be sure to
check that the GP and VM Units are not connected to a power supply.
• Do not touch the circuit board attached to the inner face of the VM
Unit.
• Do not modify the design of the VM Unit. Doing so may cause a fire
or electric shock.
• Design your system so that the equipment will not malfunction due to
a communication fault between the GP and a PLC. This is to prevent
any possibility of bodily injury or equipment damage.

WARNINGS
E4 GP2000 Series VM Unit User Manual
Usage Precautions
Even though a video camera or computer monitor attached to the GP conforms to the
VM Unit's specified standards, the resulting image may not be acceptable. Therefore,
prior to setting up your GP system, be sure to test the operation of the GP using an
actual camera or monitor.
Video Input
• Use a standard signal (equivalent to ITU-R BT.624) as your video input signal.
Using other types of signals can cause an incorrect display. Also, even if the input
signal used conforms to the specified standard, the display can be incorrect, de-
pending on signal quality. (This may occur when the signal contains a special
signal, such as a copy-guard signal.)
• When inputting video signals such as search-and-playback or still-frame playback
from your VCR, you may encounter problems such as the image not being updated.
• The image quality can vary depending on the display size selected.
• When using PAL format (768 x 576 dots) with the GP-2500 (640 x 480 dots), the
standard (no-magnification) display cannot show all of the images in one screen.
As a result, The images at the far right and bottom of the GP may be hidden. In
this case, scroll the screen to view these images.
• When connecting the certain video input signal to the maltiple units by using "T
junction connection" or "Daisy chain connection", the image cannot be displayed
on the GP correctly.
RGB Input
• When using RGB signal input, a blue-background screen may appear momentarily
while the screen is adjusted or when a PC screen is switched. This phenomenon is
normal and the VM Unit is not malfunctioning.
• With some types of RGB signals, the displayed images or RGB output images may
contain noise or may be blurred during the screen adjustment. It is possible that
these problems may not be able to be fixed, given the VM Unit's available range of
adjustment.
• Image quality may vary depending on the display size selected.
RGB Output
• Without the correct set up, a factory-set GP unit may not provide the desired dis-
play images.
• Depending on the device connected to the VM Unit, it is possible that images may
not be properly displayed or may not be fully corrected. Limitations in the range of
the GP unit's TFT LCD screen adjustments may cause images to extend offscreen.
• Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the VM Unit. To remove dirt,
use a tightly squeezed, soft cloth moistened with a dilute solution of a neutral
detergent.

1.1 VM Unit Features
The VM Unit allows you to display images from external video cameras or from a PC
on the GP screen. You can also use the VM Unit to output GP screen images to other
devices.
• External Video Camera (VIDEO) input is supplied via four (4) connectors, and PC
monitor (RGB) input is via a single D-sub connector, for a total of five inputs.
These inputs can be used to create up to four (4) video displays on your GP screen.
• The VM Unit provides the GP with a single video (RGB) output, which allows the
display of GP screen images on a PC monitor.
• GP screen data can also be captured, converted to a JPEG file and saved to a CF
Card. JPEG images on a CF Card can also be read in by the GP and displayed.
