ships), disaster and crime prevention devices, various types
of safety equipment, non-life support related medical devices,
etc.

Preface
WARNINGS
CAUTIONS
• Do not expose the PS-B to, or operating the PS-B in direct
sunlight, high temperatures and humidity, and in areas that
have excessive dust and vibration.
• Do not use the PS-B unit in areas where sudden, extreme
changes in temperature can occur. These sudden changes
may cause condensation to form inside the unit, possibly
leading to an accident.
• Be sure the PS-B unit's air circulation vents are clear and
clean to prevent the PS-B unit from overheating, and keep
the PS-B unit's operation area well ventilated.
• Do not operate or store the PS-B unit near chemicals, or
where chemicals can come into contact with the unit.
When PS-B Unit's Hard Disk (HDD) data is lost:
• The Digital Electronics Corporation cannot be held respon-
sible or provide any compensation for damage(s) caused
by the loss of data stored in the PS-B 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.
• 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 PS-B unit's hard disk drive (HDD) is a consum-
able item, i.e. it has a finite usage 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 PS-
B unit's OS before turning the power switch OFF.
• After turning OFF the PS-B unit's power, wait until the in-
ternal HDD stops spinning before turning on the power
again (approx. 5 seconds).

2.2.1 PS-B Unit Installation Cautions
Ambient Temperature
• The PS-B is designed for vertical installation and the cooling should be per-
formed by a cooling fan instead of natural air circulation.
• Check the ambient temperature at the positions shown in the illustrations
below. Temperatures exceeding the proper ambient temperature (5 to 50°C)
may lead to product breakdown.
100mm[3.94in.]
100mm[3.94in.]
Installed Vertically Installed Horizontally
Installation Angle
• Be sure and try to install the PS-B in an upright position in order to minimize
the heat accumulation within the PS-B.
Cooling Fan
Cooling Fan

Installation Area
• 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.

• The hard disk drive is a high-precision unit. Avoid subjecting it to

sudden movement or shocks. Especially when the PS-B is turned
ON, do not change the direction of the unit or reposition the unit ,
even when it is on a table. Doing so may cause a hard disk malfunc-
tion.
• When using a fan to provide forced-air cooling, be sure that streams
of air do not blow directly on the hard disk. These streams may cause
a hard disk malfunction.
2.2.2 Installation Procedures

Type-D Ground
• Be sure to use grounding wire of 2 mm2 or
thicker. The grounding point should be as
close to the PS-B as possible to make the
grounding wires as short as possible. When
the grounding wire should be long, use
thick, insulated wires and lay the wires
(c) Shared Ground: Not acceptable through conduits.
• FG and SG are connected inside the PS-B
Another main unit. When connecting with other
PS-B
device device, designate the system configuration
so that it won't form a SG short-circuit loop.

2.3.4 Precautions When Connecting I/O Signal Lines

• Be sure to lay the I/O signal lines separately from the cable of the motor circuit
system.
• If the motor circuit cable cannot be wired as a separate system, use shielded
cables and ground one end of the shield to the FG terminal of the PS-B.
• In order to improve the noise immunity, attaching a ferrite core to the power
cord is recommended.

4.2 Setting up Your PS-B Unit

There are two types of PS-B units. One has a hard disk with no pre-installed OS
and one has a hard disk with a pre-installed OS. Therefore, the setup procedures
used will differ. This manual describes only the procedures for setting up a PS-B
unit using a hard disk with no pre-installed OS.
For an explanation of how to set up a PS-B using a hard disk with a pre-installed OS, refer to
the "Pre-installed Type Installation Guide", provided with the HDD unit.
4.2.1 Setup Procedures

First, you will need to install either Windows®2000 or Windows®XP. You also
need to install any required utility software.
Installing the HDD Unit

Check to see if a hard disk unit is installed in your PS-B unit. If it is not, please
install one prior to going to the next step.
PSB-HD020 Installation guide
Setting Up HDD Unit System Information

After you install your HDD unit, you will need set up a variety of system informa-
tion. Set up this information so that the system recognizes the newly-installed hard
disk drive.
PSB-HD020 Installation guide
Setting Up the OS
Install your operating system. For detailed setup procedures, refer to that product's
installation manual.
The PS-B unit supports Windows®2000 and Windows®XP. PS-B unit perfor-
mance cannot be guaranteed when any other operating system is used.
PS-B Utility Setup

Install the necessary drivers and utility software from the "PS-2000B Series User
Manual & Driver CD".
• A PS/2 (mini-DIN) type keyboard is required to install the

OS.
• When using a touch panel display with the PS-B, the touch
panel will require an optional mouse emulation software
(UPDD). When installing the mouse emulation software, be
sure to specify the number of the serial cable's COM port.
Visit our website (http://www.pro-face.com/otasuke/) and
download the mouse emulation software (UPDD).

Installing Software from the PS-2000B Series User Manual & Driver
CD-ROM
To install this software you need to connect Digital Electronics

Corporation's optional CD-ROM/FDD (PSB-CD/FD01) unit to
the PS-B.
To begin the installation, click on the "Setup.exe" file in your OS' folder.

6 Maintenance 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.
Procedure
Remove the screws (2) on the filter
cover and filter cover, and then remove
the filter. Filter Cover
Clean the filter by using vacuum cleaner
to remove the dust accumulated on the
filter. Set the filter to the original posi-
tion, and then reattach the filter cover
Filter
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 pre-
pare 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 tempera-
ture and high humidity will shorten the operating life. It is recom-
mended 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.
