Built-in hard disk needs replacement after around
30 000 hours of operation.
Cooling fan also needs replacement after around
30 000 hours of operation.
Backup battery has a lifetime of around five (5)
years in an ordinary environment.
•Do not block the ventilation opening or slots on the

Keep the appliance turned on for at least 48 hours to
recharge the backup battery. This procedure is neces-
sary when using the appliance for the first time or after
it has been unplugged for a long time from the AC out-
let. Insufficient charging of the battery may cause era-
sure of settings if the AC power supply should fail.
•We recommend that you note down your settings and
retain them. Power or battery failure may erase settings
you entered.
•Do not expose the appliance to water or moisture, nor
try to operate it in wet areas.
•Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when clean-
ing the appliance body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the appliance when it is dirty.

The input power source for this appliance is 120 V AC
60 Hz.
•It might occur some kind of malfunction of "RECORD" or
"PLAY", or "damage or defect of recorded data", due to
failure or trouble of machine. Any consequent damage
or loss arising from such problem is not subject of the
warranty.

A 9-pin connector is provided with the recorder to communicate with the PC via the RS-232C interface.
●PS•Data Connection
Note the following when connecting the recorder with PS•Data devices.
1. Place the recorder in the middle of the chain when the System Controller and other devices are connected.
2. Termination must be made at both ends of the chain.
Refer to the manual included with each device for termination.
See page 20, ■DATA Port Termination for the recorder.
3. Protocol selection must be set to PS•DATA in the menu setup.
4. Use the optional RS-485 cable for connection.
Connection examples are shown.
