All safety-related procedures stated in this document must be followed to operate the PL correctly and safely. Be sure to
read this and any related documents thoroughly to understand the correct operation and functions of the PL unit.
Safety Icons
Throughout this manual, these icons provide essential safety information for PL operation procedures requiring special
attention. These icons indicate the following levels of danger:
Indicates situations where severe bodily injury, death or major equipment
damage can occur.
Indicates situations where slight bodily injury or minor equipment damage can
occur.
Indicates actions or procedures that should NOT be performed.
Indicates actions or procedures that MUST be performed to ensure correct
unit operation.
System Design
Do not create PL touch panel switches that could possibly endanger the safety of personnel or equipment.
A malfunction of the PL unit, its I/O unit(s), cable(s), or other related equipment can cause unexpected
output signals, leading to a serious accident. Be sure to design all important machine operation switches
so they are operated via a separate control system, and not via the PL.
Do not create PL touch panel switches to control machine safety operations, such as an emergency stop
switch. Install these switches as separate hardware switches, otherwise severe bodily injury or equipment
damage can occur.
Be sure to design your system so that a communication fault between the PL and its host controller will
not cause equipment to malfunction. This is to prevent any possibility of bodily injury or equipment damage.
Do not use the PL as a warning device for critical alarms that can cause serious operator injury, machine
damage or can halt system operation. Critical alarm indicators and their control/activator units must be
designed using stand-alone hardware and/or mechanical interlocks.
Do not use the PL 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.

Page 4
Be sure to use redundant and/or fail-safe system designs to ensure adequate levels of system reliability
and safety 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, and other
similar equipment.
After the PL unit’s backlight burns out the touch panel is still active, unlike the PL unit’s “St andby Mode”. If
the operator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and touches the panel, a potentially dangerous
machine operation error can occur. Therefore, do not create PL unit touch panel switches that may cause
injury and/or equipment damage.
If your PL unit’s backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the following steps to determine if the backlight is actually burned out.
1) If the PL unit’s “Backlight Control” is not set and the screen has gon e blank, your backlight is burned
out.
2) If the PL unit’s “Backlight Control” is set to Standby Mode and the screen has gone blank, and touching
the screen or performing another input operation does not cause the display to reappear, your backlight
is burned out.
Handling
Do not modify the PL unit. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock.
Do not operate the PL in an environment where flammable gases are present, since it may cause an
explosion.
Wiring
To prevent an electric shock be sure to disconnect your PL unit’s power cord from the power supply before
wiring the PL.
Do not use voltage beyond the PL unit’s specified range. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock.
Maintenance
Do not connect or disconnect Host and PL unit communication cables while the PL is turned ON.
The PL uses a lithium battery for backing up its internal clock data and the battery may explode if it is
replaced incorrectly. When replacement is required, use a Pro-face-designated product.
SEE
8.6 Replacing the Internal Battery (page8-15)

Page 5
Installation
Be sure all cable connectors are securely attached to the PL unit. A loose connection may cause incorrect
input or output signals.
Wiring
Be sure to ground the PL unit’s FG wire separately from other equipment FG lines. Also, be sure to use a
grounding resistance of 100Ω or less and a 2mm2 or thicker wire, or your country's applicable standard.
Otherwise, electric shock or malfunctions may result.
Be sure to use only the designated torque to tighten the PL unit’s terminal block screws. If these screws
are not tightened firmly, it may cause a short-circuit, fire or incorrect unit operation.
Be sure that metal particles and wiring debris do not fall inside the PL unit. They can cause a fire,
malfunction or incorrect unit operation.
Maintenance
Do not reset or turn the PL OFF, or insert or remove the hard disk or the CF Card while the PL unit’s CF
Card is being accessed. Otherwise, the data in the hard disk or CF Card may be damaged or lost.
Unit Disposal
When the product is disposed of, it should be done so according to your country’s regulations for similar
types of industrial waste.
General Safety Precautions
Do not press on the PL unit’s display with excessive force or with a hard object, since it can damage the
display. Also, do not press on the touch panel with a pointed object, such as the tip of a mechanical pencil
or a screwdriver, since doing so can damage the touch panel.
Do not install the PL where the ambient temperature exceeds the specified range. Doing so may cause a
unit malfunction.
To prevent abnormally high temperatures from occurring inside the PL, do not restrict or block the PL
unit’s rear-face ventilation slots.
Do not operate the PL in areas where large, sudden temperature changes can occur. These changes can
cause condensation to form inside the PL, possibly causing it to malfunction.
Do not allow water, liquids or metal fragments to enter inside the PL unit’s case, since they can cause
either a malfunction or an electric shock. For use in Pollution Degree 2 environment.
Do not operate or store the PL in locations where it can be exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures,
excessive dust, moisture or vibration.
4
Page 6
Do not operate or store the PL where chemicals evaporate, or where chemicals are present in the air.
Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to remove dirt or oil from the PL unit’s surface. Instead, use a
soft cloth moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
Do not use or store the PL in areas with direct sunlight, since the sun's ultraviolet rays may cause the
LCD’s quality to deteriorate.
Do not store the PL in an area where the temperature is lower than that recommended in the PL unit’s
specifications. Doing so may cause the LCD display’s liquid to congeal, which can damage the LCD. Also,
if the storage area’s temperature becomes higher than the specified level, the LCD’s liquid may become
isotropic, causing irreversible damage to the LCD. Therefore, only store the PL in areas where temperatures are within the PL unit’s specifications.
After turning OFF the PL, be sure to wait a few seconds before turning it ON again. The PL may not operate correctly if it is restarted too quickly.
Due to the possibility of unexpected accidents, be sure to back up the PL unit’s data regularly.
LCD Panel Usage Precautions
• The LCD panel’s liquid contains an irritant. If the panel is damaged and any of this liquid contacts your skin,
immediately rinse the area with running water for at least 15 minutes. If the liquid gets in your eyes, immediately rinse
your eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
• The PL unit’s LCD screen may show unevenness in the brightness of certain images or at some contrast settings. This
is an LCD characteristic and not a product defect.
• The PL unit’s LCD screen pixels may contain minute black and white-colo red spots. This is an LCD characterist ic and
not a product defect.
• The color displayed on the PL unit’s LCD screen may appear different when seen from outside the specified viewing
angle. This is an LCD characteristic and not a product defect.
• When the same image is displayed on the PL unit’s screen for a long period, an afterimage may appear when the image
is changed. If this happens, turn off the PL, wait 10 seconds and then restart the unit. This is an LCD characteristic and
not a product defect.
• To prevent an afterimage:
• Set the PL unit’s display OFF feature when you plan to display the same screen image for a long period of time.
• Change the screen image periodically and try to not display the same image for a long period of time.

Chapter 2 Specifications
• When using any of the PL’s optional devices, be sure to check that device’s
specifications for any special conditions or cautions that may apply to its use.
• As a Hard Disk has a lifetime, it might be broken during operation. To prepare an
expected Hard Disk error, we recommend you take backup the data you need or
keep an alternate Hard Disk to exchange.
• It may cause a fatal error that the Hard Disk is used in a high temperature and
high moisture environment. We recommend that an appropriate environment be
29°C in Wet-bulb temperature (Maximum). This temperature, for example, is
equal to 64%RH (Relative Humidity) at 35°C, or 44%RH at 40°C.
*1The front face of the PL unit, installed in a solid panel, has been tested using conditions equiv-
alent to the standards shown in the specification. Even though the PL unit’s level of resistance
is equivalent to these standards, 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 unit for long periods of time. If the PL’s front face
protection sheet becomes peeled off, these con ditions can lead to the ingress of oil into t he 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.
If the installation gasket is used for a long period of time, or if the unit and its gasket are removed from the panel, the original level of the protection cannot be guaranteed. To maintain
the original protection level, be sure to replace the installation gasket regularly.

• Prior to installing a full-sized board and the PL’s full-sized cover (PL-FC200/PLFC210), be sure that the PL is installed in its attachment panel/cabinet. Due to
dimension differences, a full-sized expansion board and PL’s full-sized cover can
not be attached prior to installing the PL into a panel.
• When using a full sized expansion board, be sure to check its dimensions and
shape, since they will affect the board’s environment specifications, such as for
vibration, etc.
• There are two types of full-sized covers - one for 4-slot units (PL-6930/7930) and one for
2-slot units (PL-6931/7931). Use an appropriate cover.

4.1Installing the PL unit
This section describes the procedures and precautions for installing the PL unit.
4.1.1Installation Procedures
Follow the steps given below when installing the PL.
Check the Installation Gasket’s Seating
It is strongly recommended that you use the installation gasket, since it absorbs vibration in addition to
repelling water.
For the procedure for attaching the installation gasket, refer to the following.
SEE
8.4 Replacing the Installation Gasket (page8-5)
• Before installing the PL into a cabinet or panel, check that the installation gasket is
securely attached to the unit.
• A gasket which has been used for a long period of time may have scratches or dirt
on it, and could have lost much of its dust and drip resistance. Be sure to change
the gasket periodically as the scratches or dirt on the gasket becomes visible.
Creating a Panel Cut
Create the correct sized opening required to install the PL, using the installation dimensions given.
The installation gasket and the installation fasteners are required when installing the PL.
