Preface
Essential Safety Precautions
This manual includes the following cautions concerning procedures that must be
followed to operate the PL correctly and safely . Prior to operating the PL, be sure
to read this manual and any related materials thoroughly to understand the correct
operation and functions of this unit.
Safety Icons
To allow you to use the PL correctly, throughout this manual, the following icons
are provided next to items requiring special attention.
These icons indicate the following levels of danger:
Indicates situations where severe bodily
W arning
injury, death or major equipment damage
may occur .
Caution
Indicates situations where slight bodily
injury or machine damage can occur .
WARNINGS
• To avoid the possiblity of an electric shock, be sure to connect the power cord to the PL before connecting it to the
main power supply.
• A fire or electrical shock may occur if voltages used with
the PL are beyond the specified range. Be sure to use only
the specified voltage.
• Before opening the PL’s protective cover, be sure to turn
the unit’s power OFF. This is because the PL’s internal
parts carry high voltages.
• To avoid fires or electrical hazards, do not modify the PL in
any way.
• Do not create touch panel switches that are used to either
control or to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel. Mechanical switches, such as an emergency stop
switch, a deadman (two-handed) start switch, etc., must
be installed and operated via a separate control system.

Preface
WARNINGS
• After the PL’s backlight burns out, unlike the PL’s
“Standby Mode”, the touch panel is still active. If the operator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and
touches the panel, a potentially dangerous machine operation mistake can occur.
If your PL's backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the follow-
ing steps to determine if the backlight is actually burned out.
1) Even though the backlight OFF (screen saver) feature
is not used, the backlight has turned OFF.
• If metal particles, water or other types of liquids contact
any of the PL’s internal parts, immediately turn the unit’s
power OFF, unplug the power cord, and contact either your
PL distributor or the Digital Electronics Corporation.
• Read and understand Chapter 4 “Installation and Wiring”
thoroughly in order to select an appropriate installation
location for the PL.
• Before either plugging in or unplugging a board or interface connector, be sure to turn the PL’s power OFF.
• To prevent a possible explosion, do not install the PL in
areas containing flammable gases.
• The PL 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 PL 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.

Preface
CAUTIONS
• Never strike the touch panel with a hard, heavy or pointed
object, or press on the touch panel too strongly, since it
may damage the unit.
• Avoid exposing the PL to, or operating the PL in direct sunlight, high temperatures and humidity, and in areas where
excessive dust and vibration will occur.
• Avoid using the PL in areas 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 PL 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 PL near chemicals, or where
chemicals can come into contact with the unit.
• When the Standard display is connected to the PL, after
turning the display OFF, be sure to wait at least three (3)
seconds before turning it ON again.
When PL Hard Disk (HDD) data is lost:
• The Digital Electronics Corporation cannot be held responsible or provide any compensation for damage(s) caused
by the loss of data stored in the PL’ 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.
• Please be aware that the Digital Electronics Corporation
bears no responsibility for any damages resulting from the
customer’s application of this unit’s hardware or software.
• Since the PL unit’s hard disk drive (HDD) is a consumable
item, i.e. it has a limited lifetime, be sure to back up its
data regularly and prepare a spare HDD unit.
• To prevent file data damage, be sure to shut down the PL ’ s
OS before turning OFF the main power.
• After turning OFF the PL's power, wait until the internal
HDD stops spinning before turning on the power again
(approx. 5 seconds).

Preface
About the PL's Display Panel
• The PL's currently displayed data, its voltage and brightness setting each affect
the intensity of Contouring. (i.e, when some parts of the screen are brighter
than others, creating a wavelike pattern)
• There are minute grid-points (dark and light) on the Display Panel's surface.
This is part of the PL's design and not a defect.
• Shadows may appear at the top of the LCD. This is normal for an LCD display.
• Sometimes the display area may look as if the display colors have changed.
This is a common attribute of LCD's and is not a defect.
• Displaying a single image for long periods can cause an afterimage to remain
when the display is changed to another screen. To prevent this, periodically turn
the PL OFF and then ON again to remove this afterimage.

• Since the PL’s hard disk drive (HDD) is a consumable item, i.e. it has
a finite usage lifetime, be sure to back up its data frequently and
perform regular maintenance.
• The Hard Disk lifetime given here may be reduced due to unforeseen
environmental factors, however , generally speaking, at an operating
temperature of 20oC the disk should last for 20,000 hours (of operation) or approximately 5 years, whichever comes first.
• Be sure to use only DIM modules manufactured by Digital. Installing other DIM
modules may result in either damage to or failure of the PL, and will void your
warranty.

• The PL is equipped with three IDE interfaces, two of which can be used by the
HDD or CF Card units (PL-5901T can use only one), and one for the CD-ROM
drive. Physically, even though up to three IDE drive units can be connected at the
same time, IDE interface specifications require that a controller's simultaneous
operation be limited to a single master and slave unit, for a total of two devices.
The following chart shows the combinations available when using two IDE units
(PL-5901T can use only one).

*1 The front face of the PL unit, installed in a solid panel, has been tested using conditions
equivalent to the standard shown in this specification . However even though the PL
unit’s level of resistance is equivalent to the standard, oils that should have no effect on
the PL can possibly harm the unit. This can occur in areas where either vaporized oils
are present, or where low viscosity cutting oils are allowed to adhere to the face of the
unit for long periods of time. If the PL’s front face protection sheet becomes peeled off,
these conditions can lead to the ingress of oil into the PL and separate protection
measures are suggested. Also, if non-approved oils are present, it may cause deformation
or corrosion of the front panel’s plastic cover. Therefore, prior to installing the PL be
sure to confirm the type of conditions that will be present in the PL’s operating environment.

• For the 1st and 2nd slots either a PCI or an ISA type expansion board can be used.
• Although PL unit expansion slots are built based on BUS specifications, certain
expansion cards may not operate correctly. Therefore, be sure to check that your
expansion card operates correctly.
2.2.4 Clock (RTC) Accuracy
Clock(RTC) a ccur acy +180 seconds pe r m onth
The PL unit's built-in clock (RTC) has a slight error. At the PL's specified ambient
temperature and with the power turned OFF the error is +180 seconds per month.
However, ambient temperature fluctuations and the age of the unit may increase
this error to +300 seconds per month. If the PL unit's RTC clock accuracy is vital
to system performance, regular adjustment of this clock is required.
