3. PRECAUTIONS (OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS)
This specification applies to VFD module (Model No. 160S321B1) manufactured by SSVD (Shanghai Samsung Vacuum
Devices).
* 160
* 8 bit parallel M68 LCD compatible & asynchronous serial interface (9600, 19200 bps).
* Since a DC/DC converter is used, only +5V
* CG-ROM which is mounted on module offers 6
* 4 brightness levels can be selected by brightness control command.
* Chip in grass(CIG) driver VFD panel technology
* Avoid applying excessive shock or vibration beyond the specification for the VFD module.
* Since VFD is made of glass material, careful handling is required. i.e. Direct impact with hard material to the glass
* When mounting the VFD module to your system, leave a slight gap between the VFD glass and your front panel. The
* Avoid plugging or unplugging the interface connection with the power on, otherwise it may cause the severe damage to
* Exceeding any of maximum ratings may cause the permanent damage.
* Since the VFD modules contain high voltage source, careful handling is required during powered on.
* When the power is turned off, the capacitor does not discharge immediately. The high voltage applied to the VFD must
* Sending any input signals to the VFD module during power-off condition may cause I/O port damage in VFD circuitry.
* The power supply must be capable of providing at least 5 times the rated current, because the inrush current maybe 5
* Avoid using the module where excessive noise interference is expected. Noise may affects the interface signal and causes
* Since all VFD modules contain C-MOS ICs, anti-static handling procedures are always required.

not contact to the ICs. In other words, the compulsory short-circuit of mounted components on PCB within 30 seconds
after power-off may cause damage to the module.
