• Avoid overheating of the PS-B by not installing the unit near other heat-produc-
ing devices.
• Keep the PS-B away from arc-generating devices such as magnetic switches
and non-fuse breakers.
• Avoid operating the PS-B in environments where corrosive gases are generated.
• To ensure maintainability, operability, and ventilation of the PS-B, be sure to
allow a minimum of 50mm clearance between the PS-B and adjacent structure
or equipment (70mm clearance is required to the side of a fan). Also, be sure to
include sufficient clearance by considering the size and shape of connectors
and space required for removing and inserting an expansion board while the
PS-B is in the installed position.

6Maintenance and Inspection
This chapter describes the cautions and inspection criteria for ensuring comfort
and safety in operating the PS-B.
6.1 Cleaning the Fan Filter
A fan is installed to the PS-B for cooling the unit. Be sure to periodically perform
inspection and cleaning of the fan, since dust accumulated on the fan filter will
affect the cooling performance of the fan.
1. Cleaning the Fan Filter
2. Periodical Inspections
Procedure
Remove the screws (2) on the filter
cover and filter cover, and then remove
the filter.
Clean the filter by using vacuum cleaner
to remove the dust accumulated on the
filter. Set the filter to the original position, and then reattach the filter cover
and filter cover mounting screws.
If stubborn dust or stains persist, wash the filter with neutral
detergent and rinse it thoroughly with water.
• Do not wring the water out of the filter.
• Dry the filter in the shade and do not leave it in the direct sunlight.
• Wait until the filter is completely dry, and then reattach to the main
unit.

• When using optional equipment, be sure to check the specifications
for the equipment.
• The hard disk drive is a consumable item. It is recommended to prepare for product malfunction by making periodical backups of the
data and preparing replacement HDD unit.
• The operation life of a hard disk drive varies depending on the use
environment and conditions; however, it is approximately 20,000
hours (of operation time) under ambient temperature of 20°C or 5
years, whichever comes first.
• Operating the hard disk under harsh environment of high temperature and high humidity will shorten the operating life. It is recommended to operate the HDD at wet-bulb temperature of 29°C or lower.
The condition is equivalent of 35°C with 64%RH, or 40°C with 44%RH.
