Chapter 1 General Information
2Owner’s Manual of BECS- 185 Computerized Control System
Attention Don't jam the vent on the device. Don’t insert other items into the machine, or it
may get fire.
Attention Make sure the installation direction is correct.
Attention Don't expose the machine to humidity gas, corrosive gas, water, and other
flammable material.
Matters for Attention on Cable Connection
Forbidden Don't test the insulation of the circuit loop.
Forbidden Never try to connect the overloaded electronic device on the connectors (like
sockets or terminals).
Attention The insulation condition of each cable (no matter signal cable or power cable)
should be ensured.
Attention The signal cables and power cables should be separated. Never tie them together.
Attention
All the cables should be well fixed. Don’t put any strength on cables. Make sure
each turning point of cable is well protected. Add shelter pipes to increase insulating
capability if necessary.
Attention Machine should be grounded reliably. The resistance should be smaller than 10 Ω.

Danger Don't operate the machine when there is any damage on the shelter of the running
parts.
Forbidden When machine is running, do not touch any running part.
Attention Make sure the configuration of power supply is in normal. Use stabilized voltage
power supply when the change of voltage is beyond the range of -10%~10%.
Attention In case of warning, please check out the problem. Operation can only be carried out
again when problem is solved.
Attention
The power supply switch has over-current protection function. If the over-current
switch is activated, the switch can only be closed after 3 minutes.
Matters for Attention on Maintenance and Inspection

of
Floppy
Disk
The floppy driver of this computer is the external attached device, which is connected to
the operation panel with the USB port. Please pay attention to the direction for plugging. Do
not apply force when the plug-in direction is wrong, or it may destroy the floppy driver and
the floppy disk itself.
IV.
Instruction
of
USB
Disk
Please pay close attention to electrostatic phenomenon. Don’t forget to discharge (we
suggest you should touch the machine stand or frame to discharge the static) before plugging
in/out the USB disk.
Pay attention to the direction of the USB disk at plug-in. Don’t pull out the USB disk
when system loads data from or write data to it. If the USB disk is pulled out or the power is
cut off during the data input/output, the data could be lost. In that case, please check the
integrity of data in the USB disk and repair it before using.
Attention: During the process of initialization, if the power is cut off or the USB disk is
pulled out, the USB disk may be damaged permanently.
