Environmental Aspects

This chapter includes information about the environmental impact of E1000
operator panels.
More information can be found on the manufacturer's web site.
5.1

General Environmental Aspects

The manufacturer's activities meet internal requirements as well as those of the
SS-EN ISO 9001:2000 and SS-EN ISO 14001:2004 international standards.
5.2 Environmental Impact of the Operator
Panels
5.2.1

Mechanical Components

The aluminum and stainless steel used in the mechanical components are judged to
be non-environmentally hazardous. The expanded rubber packing for the front and
the expanded polyethylene packing for the display contain an adhesive that is not
classified as environmentally hazardous.
Screws may have undergone the following surface treatments: Bright nickel-plating
or bright zinc-plating. The membrane keyboard is made of polyester with silver wir-
ing. On some models the keyboard contains LEDs.
Display frames and CF covers are made of halogen-free plastic, PC/ABS.
5.2.2

Electronics

Circuit board
Note:
All operator panels are RoHS compliant.
The electronics are complex and almost all elements of the periodic table are repre-
sented.
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 panel contains a button cell lithium battery.
The battery is not classified as environmentally hazardous by the Swedish Battery Or-
dinance (1997:645).
