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:
Indicates situations where severe bodily injury,
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.

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.

4.2 Installing the PL

4.2.1 Installation Procedures

Follow the steps given below when installing the PL.
Attaching the Installation Gasket
Even if the your PL unit’s Installation Gasket is not needed to prevent water from entering the unit, the gasket also acts as a vibration absorber and should always be attached. To install the gasket, place the PL face down on a soft surface and attach the gasket to the rear side of the display face, in the plastic bezel’s groove (see picture below). Be sure the grooved face of the gasket is vertical.
• Prior to installing the PL into a cabinet or panel, check that the Instal-
lation Gasket is securely attached to the unit.
PL Rear Face
Installation Gasket
• Use for extended periods of time or repeated removal and reattach-
ment of the PL unit in a panel may cause the installation gasket to fail to provide moisture resistance equivalent to IP65f. To provide a con­sistent level of dust and moisture resistance, Pro-face recommends replacing the gasket every year or whenever cracks or scratches ap­pear.
• The installation gasket’s product code is PL-WS500.
• Even if the PL unit is operated in an environment where dust and mois-
ture resistance are not required, Pro-face strongly recommends the gasket is attached.
• Since this gasket is not elastic, it should not be stretched. When in-
stalling the gasket, be careful not to tear it, especially in bezel corners.
• Do not press the gasket’s seam into any of the bezel’s corners. If the
seam is placed in a corner, strain on the gasket may cause it to tear at the seam.
• To produce a consistent level of dust and moisture resistance, be sure
to insert the gasket’s seam in the bottom portion of the bezel, not in the sides or top.
• The gasket is correctly inserted if approximately 2mm of gasket is vis-
ible above the bezel. When installing the gasket, be sure to check that the gasket is correctly inserted into the bezel.
• If the gasket is not inserted correctly into the bezel, the moisture and
dust resistance level will not be equivalent to IP65f.

4.3.4 Cautions When Connecting I/O Signal Lines

• I/O signal lines must be wired separately from charged lines.
• If the power cord needs to be wired together with the (I/O) signal lines for any reason, use shielded lines and ground one end of the shield to the PL unit’s FG terminal.
• To improve noise immunity, attaching a ferrite core to the power cord is recom­mended.
4-12
*1 Use a grounding resistance of less than 100Ω and a 2mm2 or thicker wire, or your
country’s applicable standard. For details, contact your local PL distributor.
