PS-2000B Series

Installation Guide

WARNINGS

Follow the instructions given below to ensure the correct and safe use of the PS­2000B Series unit, hereafter referred to as the “PS-B”.

• To prevent an electrical shock, be sure to connect the power cord to the PS-B
before connecting it to the main power supply.

• A fire or electrical shock may result if voltages are used with the PS-B that are
beyond the specified range. Be sure to only use the specified voltage.

• Before opening the PS-B’s protective cover, be sure to turn the unit’s power OFF .
This is because the PS-B’s internal parts carry high voltages.

• If metal particles, water or other types of liquids contact any of the PS-B’s internal
parts, immediately turn the unit’s power OFF, unplug the power cord, and contact
your local PS-B distributor .

• Read and understand Chapter 4 “Installation and Wiring” thoroughly in order to
select an appropriate installation location for the PS-B.

• Before either plugging in or unplugging an expansion board or interface connec­tor , be sure to turn the PS-B’s power OFF.

• To prevent a possible explosion, do not install the PS-B in areas containing flammable
gases.

• The PS-B is not appropriate for use with aircraft control devices, aerospace equip­ment, central trunk data transmission (communication) devices, nuclear power
control devices, or medical life support equipment, due to these devices’ inher­ent requirements of extremely high levels of safety and reliability.

• When using the PS-B with transportation vehicles (trains, cars and ships), disas­ter and crime prevention devices, various types of safety equipment, non-life
support related medical devices, etc. redundant and/or failsafe system designs
should be used to ensure the proper degree of reliability and safety.

To Prevent Accidents

Follow the instructions given below to ensure the correct and safe use of the PS-B.

• If the screen becomes dirty or smudged, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral deter­gent, wring the cloth well, and wipe the display . Do not use thinner or organic solvents.

• Avoid storing and operating the PS-B in direct sunlight, high temperatures and
humidity, and in areas where excessive dust and vibration will occur.

• Avoid using the PS-B in ar eas where sudden, extreme changes in temperature can occur .
This may cause condensation to form inside the unit, possibly leading to an accident.

• To prevent the PS-B from overheating, be sure its air circulation vents are clear
and clean, and keep the unit’s operation area well-ventilated.

• Avoid operating or storing the PS-B near chemicals, or where chemicals can
come into contact with the unit.

• The Digital Electronics Corporation cannot be held responsible or provide any
compensation for damage(s) caused by the loss of data stored in the PS-B unit’s
hard disk drive (HDD). It is therefore strongly suggested that all important data
and software be backed up regularly to an external data backup device.

• After turning OFF the PS-B's power, wait until the internal HDD stops spinning
before turning the power ON again (approx. 5 seconds).

• The GND terminal is the signal ground. Be sure to connect the PL
unit’s GND terminal to the other unit’s SG (signal ground).

• FG and SG terminals are internally connected in the PS-B. When
connecting to another device, be sure to create an SG shorting
loop in your system.

Changing number 9 pin’s [+5V/RI] can only be done for COM1, or COM3.
With COM2 and COM4, only [RI] is available. To change the COM1 or COM3
[+5V/RI] setting, remove the PS-B unit’s cover and locate the changeover
switch on the side of the main circuit board. The factory setting is to [RI].

• Be sure to confirm what settings will be used by the other device
and set the dip switches accordingly. Failure to do so can result in
a unit malfunction or damage.

• Whenever changing the PS-B changeover switches, be sure to
first turn the PS-B’s power supply OFF. Failure to do so can cause
a PS-B malfunction.

• General Purpose Input (DIN)’s input level must be 1.5 seconds or longer to
be detected.

• Be sure the voltage value between terminals is controlled via the input volt­age, so that the PS-B is operated within its recommended range. If the input
voltage exceeds this range, a malfunction or PS-B damage may occur.

• With Sink/Source input, even if DIN(-), and RST(-) are positive, and
DIN(+), RST(+) are negative, no problems are created. Be sure to oper­ate the unit within the recommended voltage range.

Use the following procedures to install the PS-B into a solid panel.

1) Use the four (4) attachment screws included in the PS-B’s packing box to
attach the mounting brackets to the PS-B main unit. Be careful that each
bracket is attached to the correct side.

When Installing the PS-B vertically

2) Drill the attachment holes in the panel. Be sure to follow the dimensions
given for the attachment holes.

Horizontal Installation

• Depending on the panel’s material and design, the panel’s instal­lation surface may need to be strengthened. If high levels of vibra­tion are expected and the PS-B’s installation surface (i.e. an op­eration panel’s door, etc.) can move (i.e. open or close) due con­sideration should be given to the PS-B’s weight.

12

3) Attach the PS-B to the Installation Panel with M4 screws.
First, insert the main unit attachment screws into the Installation Panel’s

holes, but do not tighten them. Then, place the PS-B main unit on the panel so
that the bracket holes and the screw heads align. Next, slide the PS-B down so
that the main unit is supported by these attachment screws. Last, tighten the
screws until the PS-B is secured in place.

Do not use excessive force when tightening the main unit attach­ment screws. The torque required is from 1.0 to 1.2N•m.

• To prevent electric shocks, be sure to turn the PS-B's power supply
OFF before connecting the power cord.

• To avoid the dangers of fire, electric hazards and equipment damage,
be sure to use only the specified power supply voltage when operat­ing the PS-B.

Use the following steps when connecting the power cord to the PS-B’s power
terminals.

1)Confirm that the PS-B unit’s power supply is turned OFF.

2)Use a screwdriver to remove the Power Input Terminal Block’s clear plastic
cover.

• If voltage fluctuations are expected to vary
beyond the specified range, connect a constant
voltage transformer.

• Use a low-noise power supply both between
the lines and between the PS-B and its ground.
If there is still excess noise, connect an insulat­ing transformer (noise-prevention type) .

Be sure any constant or insulating
transformer used has a capacity of
200VA or more.

• Wire the power cords of the PS-B, I/O devices,
and power supply devices separately.

• To improve noise immunity, Pro-face is
recommends attaching a ferrite core to the
power cord.

• To prevent damage from lightning, connect a
lightning surge absorber.

• Ground the lightning surge ab­sorber (E1) and the PS-B (E2)

• Select a lightning surge absorber
which will not exceed the allow­able circuit voltage, even when
the voltage rises to the maximum.

Other
device

• Set up a dedicated ground when
using the front panel’s FG termi­nal.

• If a dedicated ground is not pos­sible, use a shared ground, as
shown in figure (b).

• The grounding point must be as
close to the PS-B as possible, and
the grounding wires must be as
short as possible. If the wires must
be long, use thick, insulated wires
and run them through conduits.

• FG and SG terminals are internally
connected in the PS-B. When
connecting to another device, be
sure to create an SG shorting loop
in your system.

9 Cautions When Connecting I/O Signal Lines

• I/O signal lines must be wired separately from the power circuit cable. If the
power cord needs to be wired together with the input/output (I/O) signal lines
for any reason, use shielded cord and ground one end of the shield to the PS­B’s FG terminal.

• To improve noise immunity, it is recommended to attach a ferrite core to the
power cord.
