Preface
Essential Safety Precautions
This manual includes the following cautions concerning procedures that must be followed to operate the PL-5910 Series unit 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 to indicate items requiring special attention.
These icons indicate the following levels of danger:

WARNING
CAUTION
death or major equipment damage may occur.
Indicates situations where slight bodily injury or
machine damage can occur.
WARNING
• To avoid the possibility 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 unit’s rear maintenance cover, be
sure to turn the unit’s power OFF. This is because the
PL unit’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
WARNING
• After the PL unit’s backlight burns out, unlike “Standby
Mode”, the PL unit’s 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 error can occur.
If your PL unit's backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the
following steps to determine if the backlight is actually
burned out.
1) If your PL is
screen has gone blank, your backlight is burned out.
2) Or, if your PL
the screen does not cause the display to reappear,
your backlight is burned out.
• If metal particles, water or other types of liquids contact
any of the PL unit’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 unit’s power OFF.
• To prevent a possible explosion, do not install the PL in
areas containing flammable gases.
not set to "Standby Mode" and the
is set to Standby Mode, but touching
• Do not use the PL unit with aircraft control devices, aerospace equipment, central trunk data transmission (communication) devices, nuclear power control devices, or
medical life support equipment, due to their 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. be sure to design redundant
and/or fail-safe system designs to ensure the proper degree of reliability and safety.

Preface
CAUTION
• Do not strike the touch panel with a hard, heavy or
pointed object, or press on the touch panel with excessive force, since it may damage the panel.
• Do not expose the PL to, or operate the PL in direct sunlight, high temperatures and humidity, and in areas where
excessive dust and vibration will occur.
• Do not use the PL in areas where sudden, extreme changes in
temperature can occur. These changes may cause condensation to form inside the unit, possibly causing 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.
• Do not operate or store the PL near chemicals, or where
chemicals can come in contact with the unit.
• To extend the lifetime of the PL unit's Hard Disk Drive
(HDD), use the BIOS, [POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP][HDD Power Down] setting to stop the HDD motor when
the HDD is not being operated. The factory setting of
“5Min” is recommended.
With Windows®2000:
Use the [Control Panel] -> [Power Option] -> [Power Set-
ting] feature to turn the HDD off when not in use.
(Recommended setting: [After 5 mins]
When PL Hard Disk Drive (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 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.
• 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.

PL-5910 Series User Manual
Preface
CAUTION
• Since the PL unit’s hard disk drive (HDD) is a consum-
able item, i.e. it has a finite 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 unit’s OS before turning OFF the main power.
• After turning OFF the PL unit's power, be sure to wait
until the internal HDD stops spinning before turning the
power ON again (approx. 5 seconds).
• Do not turn PL unit's power OFF while the HDD is operating.
About the PL unit's Display Panel
• The PL unit'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 surface. This is part
of the PL unit'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 displays 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.

UL/c-UL/CSA Application Notes
The PL5910-T41-24V/PL5911-T41-24V Series units are UL/c-UL/CSA 60950
recognized products. (UL File No. E171486). Please pay special attention to the
following instructions when applying for UL/c-UL/CSA approval for machinery which
includes any of these PL units.
Equipment with a PL mounted in it requires UL evaluation for the combination of the PL
and the equipment.
The PL conforms as a component to the following standards:
UL 60950-1
Third Edition, dated December 1st, 2001 (Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment)
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1-03
Third Edition, dated December 1st, 2001 (Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment)
PL5910-T41-24V (UL Registration Model: 3382701-01)
PL5911-T41-24V (UL Registration Model: 3382701-02)
When the PL unit is a built-in component of another product:
• The rear face of the PL unit is not an approved enclosure. When building the PL into
another product, that product should be designed so as to meet standards for an
approved enclosure.
• Use the PL indoors only.
• When using natural air ventillation, be sure to install the PL unit in a vertical panel.
Also, be sure to create at least 50mm of air space around the rear face of the PL
unit. If this amount of space is not created, the PL unit's internal temperature will
increase and may lead to the unit's failing to meet UL standards.
• When connecting the PL unit’s power cord, be sure to use a cord that is appropriate for
the current and voltage used, and that has conductive wires that are 0.75 mm2 or larger.
• When an end-use product will include the PL, be sure to design the PL unit’s power
cutoff switch as a separate disconnect device and locate it where the operator can
easily reach it.
• Danger of explosion if backup battery is incorrectly replaced. Replaced only with
same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
CE Marking Notes
The PL5910-T41-24V/PL5911-T41-24V Series units are CE marked products that
conform to EMC directives EN55011 (Group 1 Class A) and EN61000-6-2.

Chapter 1 - PL Basics
• The PL is equipped with three IDE interfaces. Two can be used by the HDD or
FFD units (PL-5911T can use only one), and one can be used by either the CDROM drive or the Mirror Disk unit. 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-5911T can use only one).
MSMMMMS S S
CD-ROM Drive Un i t S S S S
CF Card Un i t S S S M M M M MS
MS: Combination of 2 units - Master or Slave, is possible.
M: Used only for Master.
S: Used only for Slave.
• Since the PL unit'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
o
temperature of 20
C and assuming 333 hours of operation (HDD motor is ON) per month (an access time of 20% or less), the HDD unit
should last for 20,000 hours (power is ON) or approximately 5 years,
whichever comes first.
Commercially Available Items
PL-5910 Series units can all use commercially available expansion boards (PCI/ISA
compatible) as well as a standard keyboard, mouse, printer, and USB-compatible
devices. However, among the commercially available USB devices, not all will be
compatible with the PL unit.
• 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 .
• When using USB type devices, be sure they are USB compatible, and be sure to
read that device's Installation Guide prior to connecting it to the PL.

• When using any of the PL unit’s optional devices, be sure to
check that device’s specifications for any special conditions or
cautions that may apply to its use.
• 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.
• The Hard Disk lifetime given here may be reduced due to unforeseen environmental factors, however, generally speaking,
at an operating temperature of 20oC and assuming 333 hours of
operation (HDD motor is ON) per month (an access time of 20%
or less), the HDD unit should last for 20,000 hours (power is
ON) or approximately 5 years, whichever comes first.
• Using the Hard Disk in an environment that is excessively hot
and/or humid will shorten the disk’s usage lifetime. A wet bulb
temperature of 29oC or less is recommended. This is equivalent
to the following data.

*1 Only PL5910-T11/PL5911-T11 units. (Rated Voltage: 100VAC)
*2 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 unit’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 unit’s operating environment.

2.2.4 Clock (RTC) Accuracy
Clock(RTC) accuracy +180 seconds per month
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.
