When using the unit and a CF card, follow the precautions below:
oPrior to inserting or removing a CF card, be sure that the ACCESS lamp is not flashing. Only remove the CF card when the light is either OFF or Solid Green. If you do not, CF card internal data may be damaged or lost. See Location of CF Card DIP Switches for details.
oCheck that the CF card DIP switch settings are appropriate.
oWhile a CF card is being accessed, never turn OFF or reset the unit, or insert or remove the CF card. Prior to performing these operations, use Vijeo Designer to create and use a special unit application screen that will prevent access to the CF card. See Vijeo Designer online help for further details.
oPrior to inserting a CF card, familiarize yourself with the CF card’s front and rear face orientation, as well as the CF card connector’s position. If the CF card is not correctly positioned when it is inserted into the unit, the CF card’s internal data and the unit may be damaged or broken.
oBe sure to use only CF cards manufactured by Schneider Electric.
oOnce unit data is lost, it cannot be recovered. Since accidental data loss can occur at any time, be sure to back up all unit screen and CF card data regularly. See the Vijeo Designer Online Help for more information on backing up your unit’s data.
