Preface
•To prevent an electric shock, be sure to connect the power
cord terminals to the PS-B unit's terminal block before con-
necting the power cord to the main power supply.
•Be sure to use only the specified voltage with the PS-B unit. A
fire or electrical shock may occur if voltages used that are
beyond the specified range.
•Be sure to turn the unit's power switch OFF before removing
the PS-B unit's cover. This is because the PS-B unit's internal
parts carry high voltages.
•Do not modify the PS-B unit in any way. Modifying the unit
can cause a fire or create an electrical hazard.
•Be sure to immediately turn the unit's power switch OFF, dis-
connect the power cord, and contact your local Pro-face dis-
tributor if metal particles, water or other types of liquids con-
tact any of the PS-B unit's internal parts.
•Be sure to read and understand Chapter 2 "Hardware Installa-
tion" thoroughly in order to select an appropriate installation
location for the PS-B unit.

•Be sure to turn the PS-B unit's power switch OFF Before ei-
ther connecting or disconnecting a board or interface con-
nector.
•Do not install the PS-B unit in areas containing flammable
gases.
•Do not use the PS-B unit with aircraft control devices, aero-
space equipment, central trunk data transmission (communi-
cation) devices, nuclear power control devices, or medical
life support equipment, due to these devices' inherent require-
ments of extremely high levels of safety and reliability.
•Be sure to design redundant and/or failsafe systems to en-
sure the proper degree of reliability and safety when using
the PS-B unit with transportation vehicles (trains, cars and
ships), disaster and crime prevention devices, various types
of safety equipment, non-life support related medical devices,
etc.
WARNINGS
PS-2000B Series User Manual 7
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).
