PS-2000B Series
Installation Guide
Follow the instructions given below to ensure the correct and safe use of the PS-B.
• If the screen becomes dirty or smudged, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral deter-
gent, wring the cloth well, and wipe the display. Do not use thinner or organic solvents.
• Avoid storing and operating the PS-B in direct sunlight, high temperatures and
humidity, and in areas where excessive dust and vibration will occur.
• Avoidusing the PS-Binareaswhere sudden,extreme changesintemperature canoccur.
This may cause condensation to form inside the unit, possibly leading to an accident.
• To prevent the PS-B from overheating, be sure its air circulation vents are clear
and clean, and keep the unit’s operation area well-ventilated.
• Avoid operating or storing the PS-B near chemicals, or where chemicals can
come into contact with the unit.
• The Digital Electronics Corporation cannot be held responsible 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.
• After turning OFF the PS-B's power, wait until the internal HDD stops spinning
before turning the power ON again (approx. 5 seconds).
To Prevent Accidents
Follow the instructions given below to ensure the correct and safe use of the PS-
2000B Series unit, hereafter referred to as the “PS-B”.
• To prevent an electrical shock, be sure to connect the power cord to the PS-B
before connecting it to the main power supply.
• A fire or electrical shock may result if voltages are used with the PS-B that are
beyond the specified range. Be sure to only use the specified voltage.
• Before opening the PS-B’s protective cover, be sure to turn the unit’s power OFF.
This is because the PS-B’s internal parts carry high voltages.
• If metal particles, water or other types of liquids contact any of the PS-B’s internal
parts, immediately turn the unit’s power OFF, unplug the power cord, and contact
your local PS-B distributor.
• Read and understand Chapter 4 “Installation and Wiring” thoroughly in order to
select an appropriate installation location for the PS-B.
• Before either plugging in or unplugging an expansion board or interface connec-
tor, be sure to turn the PS-B’s power OFF.
• To prevent a possible explosion, do not install the PS-B inareas containing flammable
gases.
• The PS-B is not appropriate for use with aircraft control devices, aerospace equip-
ment, central trunk data transmission (communication) devices, nuclear power
control devices, or medical life support equipment, due to these devices’ inher-
ent requirements of extremely high levels of safety and reliability.
• When using the PS-B with transportation vehicles (trains, cars and ships), disas-
ter and crime prevention devices, various types of safety equipment, non-life
support related medical devices, etc. redundant and/or failsafe system designs
should be used to ensure the proper degree of reliability and safety.

Changing number 9 pin’s [+5V/RI] can only be done for COM1, or COM3.
With COM2 and COM4, only [RI] is available. To change the COM1 or COM3
[+5V/RI] setting, remove the PS-B unit’s cover and locate the changeover
switch on the side of the main circuit board. The factory setting is to [RI].
• Be sure to confirm what settings will be used by the other device
and set the dip switches accordingly. Failure to do so can result in
a unit malfunction or damage.
• Whenever changing the PS-B changeover switches, be sure to
first turn the PS-B’s power supply OFF. Failure to do so can cause
a PS-B malfunction.

• The GND terminal is the signal ground. Be sure to connect the PL
unit’s GND terminal to the other unit’s SG (signal ground).
• FG and SG terminals are internally connected in the PS-B. When
connecting to another device, be sure to create an SG shorting
loop in your system.

• General Purpose Input (DIN)’s input level must be 1.5 seconds or longer to
be detected.
• Be sure the voltage value between terminals is controlled via the input volt-
age, so that the PS-B is operated within its recommended range. If the input
voltage exceeds this range, a malfunction or PS-B damage may occur.
• With Sink/Source input, even if DIN(-), and RST(-) are positive, and
DIN(+), RST(+) are negative, no problems are created. Be sure to oper-
ate the unit within the recommended voltage range.

5Installing the PS-B
1) Use the four (4) attachment screws included in the PS-B’s packing box to
attach the mounting brackets to the PS-B main unit. Be careful that each
bracket is attached to the correct side.
Use the following procedures to install the PS-B into a solid panel.

2) Drill the attachment holes in the panel. Be sure to follow the dimensions
given for the attachment holes.
(Unit : mm [in.] - excluding projections)
• Depending on the panel’s material and design, the panel’s instal-
lation surface may need to be strengthened. If high levels of vibra-
tion are expected and the PS-B’s installation surface (i.e. an op-
eration panel’s door, etc.) can move (i.e. open or close) due con-
sideration should be given to the PS-B’s weight.

WARNINGS
• To prevent electric shocks, be sure to turn the PS-B's power supply
OFF before connecting the power cord.
• To avoid the dangers of fire, electric hazards and equipment damage,
be sure to use only the specified power supply voltage when operat-
ing the PS-B.

3) Attach the PS-B to the Installation Panel with M4 screws.
First, insert the main unit attachment screws into the Installation Panel’s
holes, but do not tighten them. Then, place the PS-B main unit on the panel so
that the bracket holes and the screw heads align. Next, slide the PS-B down so
that the main unit is supported by these attachment screws. Last, tighten the
screws until the PS-B is secured in place.
Do not use excessive force when tightening the main unit attach-
ment screws. The torque required is from 1.0 to 1.2N•m.

1)Confirm that the PS-B unit’s power supply is turned OFF.
2)Use a screwdriver to remove the Power Input Terminal Block’s clear plastic
cover.
3)Unscrew the screws from the middle three(3) terminals, align the Ring Termi-
nals*1 and reattach the screws.
• Confirm that the wires are connected correctly.
• The torque required to tighten these screws is 0.5N•m.
• To prevent the possibility of a Ring Terminal short, use a Ring Terminal
that has an insulating sleeve.
4)Replace the Power Input Terminal Block’s clear plastic cover.

7Power Supply Cautions
• If voltage fluctuations are expected to vary
beyond the specified range, connect a constant
voltage transformer.
• Use a low-noise power supply both between
the lines and between the PS-B and its ground.
If there is still excess noise, connect an insulat-
ing transformer (noise-prevention type) .
• Wire the power cords of the PS-B, I/O devices,
and power supply devices separately.
• To improve noise immunity, Pro-face is
recommends attaching a ferrite core to the
power cord.
• Isolate the main circuit (high voltage, large
current) line, I/O signal lines, and power cord,
and do not bind or group them together.
• To prevent damage from lightning, connect a
lightning surge absorber.

• Set up a dedicated ground when
using the front panel’s FG termi-
nal.
• The grounding point must be as
close to the PS-B as possible, and
the grounding wires must be as
short as possible. If the wires must
be long, use thick, insulated wires
and run them through conduits.
• If a dedicated ground is not pos-
sible, use a shared ground, as
shown in figure (b).
(c) Shared ground - not allowed
(a) Dedicated Ground
(b) Shared Ground - allowed
• I/O signal lines must be wired separately from the power circuit cable. If the
power cord needs to be wired together with the input/output (I/O) signal lines
for any reason, use shielded cord and ground one end of the shield to the PS-
B’s FG terminal.
• To improve noise immunity, it is recommended to attach a ferrite core to the
power cord.
