E-1
WARNING
• When inserting the PS-3700A(Eden™ESP6000-667MHz Model) (hereafter referred to as the
"PS-A")'s power cord into the PS-A's AC Connector, check first that the PS-A's power supply is
completely turned OFF, via a breaker, or similar unit.
• Before either plugging in or unplugging a board or interface connector, be sure to turn the PS-A’s
power OFF.
• Whenever changing the Backlight, to prevent electric shocks and burns, be sure to turn OFF the
PS-A's power and wear protective gloves.
• After the PS-A’s backlight burns out, unlike the PS-A’s “Standby Mode”, the touch panel is still
active. If the operator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and touches the panel, a
potentially dangerous machine operation error can occur.
If your PS-A's backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the following steps to determine if the back-
light is actually burned out.
1) If your PS-A isnot set to "Standby Mode" and the screen has gone blank, your backlight is
burned out.
2) Or, if your PS-A is set to Standby Mode, but touching the screen does not cause the
display to reappear, your backlight is burned out.
• Do not open or remodel the PS-A unit, since it may lead to a fire or electric shock.
• Do not use power beyond the PS-A's specified voltage range. Doing so may cause a fire or an
electric shock.
• Do not use the PS-A in an environment where flammable gases are present, since operating the
PS-A may cause an explosion.
• The PS-A uses a lithium battery for backing up its internal clock data. If the battery is incorrectly
replaced (i.e. its + and - sides are reversed), the battery may explode. When changing the
battery, please contact your local PS-A distributor.
• Do not use the PS-A unit as a warning device for critical alarms that can cause serious operator
injury, machine damage or production stoppage. Critical alarm indicators and their control/acti-
vator units must be designed using stand-alone hardware and/or mechanical interlocks.
• To prevent operator injury or machine damage, be sure to design your machine operation system
so that the machine will not malfunction due to a communication fault between the PS-A and its
host controller.
• Do not use PS-A touch panel switches in life-related or important disaster prevention situations. For
safety related switches, such as an emergency switch, be sure to use a separate mechanical switch.
• The PS-A is not appropriate for use with aircraft control devices, aerospace equipment, central
trunk data transmission (communication) devices, nuclear power control devices, or medical
life support equipment, due to these devices inherent requirements of extremely high levels of
safety and reliability.
• When using the PS-A with transportation vehicles (trains, cars and ships), disaster 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.
WARNINGS
To prevent this unit from malfunctioning :
• In order to extend the lifetime of the hard disk, Pro-face recommends you set the Windows [Con-
trol panel]-[Power Management option]-[Turn off hard disks] selection to turn the hard disk off
when the unit is not being operated. A setting of 5 minutes is recommended.
• Do not strike the PS-A's touch panel with a hard or heavy object, or press on the touch panel with
excessive force, since it may damage the display.
• Do not install the PS-A where the temperature will exceed its specified range.
• Be sure that water, liquids or metal particles do not enter the PS-A, since it may cause a malfunc-
tion or a short circuit.
• Avoid installing the PS-A where sudden, large changes in temperature may occur. These changes
may cause condensation to form inside the unit, possibly causing a malfunction.
• To prevent excessive heat from building up inside the PS-A, do not install it where its ventilation
holes may be blocked. Also, do not install or store the PS-A near high temperature equipment.
• Do not install or store the PS-A in direct sunlight or where high levels of dust exist.
• Since the PS-A is a precision instrument, do not install or store it where either strong shocks or
excessive vibration may occur.
• Do not install or store the PS-A in an area containing chemicals or chemical fumes.
• Do not use paint thinner or organic solvents to clean the PS-A's case or screen.
• Due to the danger of unforeseeable accidents, back up all PS-A data regularly.
• After turning this unit OFF, be sure to wait a few seconds before turning it ON again. If the unit is
started too soon, it may not start up correctly.

• The Hard Disk lifetime given here may be reduced due to unfore-
seen environmental factors, however, generally speaking, the disk
should last for 20,000 hours (of operation) or approximately 5
years, whichever comes first at an operating temperature of 20oC
and 333 hours of operation per month. (HDD access frequency of
20% or less)
• Using the Hard Disk in an environment that is excessively hot
and/or humid will shorten the disk’s usage lifetime. A wet bulb
temperature of 29oC or less is recommended. This is equivalent to
the following data.
*1 The front face of the PS-A unit, installed in a solid panel, has been tested using condi-
tions equivalent to the standard shown in the specification . Even though the PS-A unit’s
level of resistance is equivalent to this standard, oils that should have no effect on the
PS-A can possibly harm the unit. This can occur in areas where either vaporized oils are
present, or where low viscosity cutting oils are allowed to adhere to the unit for long
periods of time. If the PS-A’s front face protection sheet becomes peeled off, these condi-
tions can lead to the ingress of oil into the PS-A and separate protection measures are
suggested. Also, if non-approved oils are present, it may cause deformation or corrosion
of the front panel’s plastic cover. Therefore, prior to installing the PS-A, be sure to
confirm the type of conditions that will be present in the PS-A’s operating environment.
If the installation gasket is used for a long period of time, or if the unit and its gasket are
removed from the panel, the original level of the protection cannot be guaranteed. To
maintain the original protection level, Pro-face recommends that you replace the instal-
lation gasket regularly.

5Installation
• Before installing the PS-A into a cabinet or panel, check that the installa-
tion gasket is securely attached to the unit.
• Agasketwhichhasbeenusedforalongperiodoftimemayhavescratches
or dirt on it, and could have lost much of its water resistance. Be sure to
change the gasket at least once a year, or when scratches or dirt be-
come visible.
• The corresponding gasket is CA3-WPG15-01.
• Be sure the gasket's seam is not inserted into any of the unit's corners,
only in the straight sections of the groove. Inserting it into a corner may
lead to its eventually tearing.
• To ensure the installation gasket's maximum level of moisture resis-
tance, be sure the gasket's seam is inserted as shown into the panel's
bottom face.


Confirm the Installation Gasket's Positioning
It is strongly recommended that you use the installation gasket.
Place the PS-A on a level surface with the display panel facing downward.
Check that the PS-A’s installation gasket is seated securely into the gasket’s groove,
which runs around the perimeter of the panel’s frame.

About Fan Cover
When installing the PS-A unit, or when attaching an optional item to the
PS-A unit, do not hold the PS-A unit by its rear-face fan cover while
performing the work. Doing so may damage the fan cover or cause the
cover to fall off.

E-14
• Do not tighten the screws with too much force, since it can damage
the PS-A unit.
• The torque necessary to create a drip-resistant seal is 0.5 N•m.
• Depending on the installation panel's thickness, etc., the number of installa-

• To enhance the PS-A's maintainability, operability and ventilation, allow
at least 50 mm clearance between the PS-A and other objects. (The
clearance must be large enough to allow you to install or uninstall op-
tion units and to attach connectors.)
• Standard installation for the PS-A unit is in a vertical panel. If the PS-A
unit is to be installed in a slanted panel, the panel should not incline
more than 30° from the vertical.
• If the PS-A panel is to be installed in a slanted panel that inclines more
than 30°, use forced-air cooling to ensure the ambient operation tem-
perature does not exceed 50° C.
• Horizontal installation (that is, rotating the panel so that one of its sides
is the base) is not supported.

• To avoid an electric shock, check that the PS-A's power supply is
turned OFF, via a breaker, or similar unit before connecting the
PS-A's power cord to the AC connector.
• To avoid the dangers of fire, electric hazards and equipment dam-
age, be sure to use only the specified voltage when operating the
PS-A.
WARNINGS
*1 L : AC Input Terminal-live line
N : AC Input Terminal-neutral line
FG : Ground Terminal connected to the PS-A chassis
Insert the power cord (AC inlet plug) into the PS-A's bottom face AC connector.

•If the power supply voltage exceeds the PS-A unit's range, connect a
voltage transformer.
•Between the line and the ground, be sure to use a low noise power supply.
If there is still an excessive amount of noise, connect a noise reducing
transformer.
Be sure any constant or insulating transformer used has a capacity of
200VA or more.
7Power Supply Cautions
Please pay special attention to the following instructions when connecting
the AC Connector to the PS-A unit.

9Input/Output Signal Line Cautions
•Input and Output signal lines must be separated from the power control cables
for operational circuits.
•If this is not possible, use a shielded cable and the shield should be grounded.
• To improve noise immunity, it is recommended to attach a ferrite core to the
power cord.
Using any backlight other than the model written above may
cause an accident or PS-A unit malfunction.

8Grounding Cautions
•When attaching a wire to the PS-A's bottom face FG terminal, (on the AC
Connector), be sure to create an exclusive ground.*1
•FG and SG terminals are internally connected in the PS-A. When connecting to
another device, be sure to create an SG shorting loop in your system.
*1 Use a grounding resistance of 100 Ω , a wire of 2mm2or thicker, or your country's
applicable standard.
•Input and Output signal lines must be separated from the power control cables
for operational circuits.
•To increase the noise resistance, be sure to twist the ends of the power cord
before connecting it to the PS-A unit.
•The PS-A unit's power cord should not be bundled with or kept close to main
circuit lines (high voltage, high current), or input/output signal lines.
•Connect a surge absorber to handle power surges.
• Ground the lightning surge absorber and the PS-A separately.
• Select a lightning surge absorber which will not exceed the allow-
able circuit voltage, even when the voltage rises to the maximum.
•To reduce noise, make the power cord as short as possible.
