To Prevent Accidents
• Since the PL-HD220 is a precision instrument, be sure it is neither hit by nor pressed
strongly against another object. After unpacking, be sure the unit is not dropped or
jolted during installation. Also, a PL built in to a larger unit (i.e. operation panel)
should be removed and packed separately prior to shipping.
• Be sure water, liquids or metal particles are not allowed to enter the PL-HD220. Any
of these may cause either a breakdown or an electrical shock.
• Do not place or store this unit in a location where there is direct sunlight, excessive
heat, dust or vibration.
• Do not store or operate this unit near chemicals, or where there are chemical fumes.
• Do not allow anyone other than Pro-face’s own service staff to perform mainte-
nance or adjustments to this unit.
• Do not move or shift the PL while the PL-HD220 is installed and the PL unit's power
is ON.
• Be sure to check that the PL’s power is disconnected before
installing the unit, in order to prevent an electrical shock.
• Do not attempt to modify or open the PL-HD220, since it can
cause a shock or fire.
• When installing the PL-HD220, be sure to read the following “3.
Installation” section’s information completely to insure that the
unit is correctly installed.

seen environmental factors, however, the disk should operate for
20,000 hours or approximately 5 years, whichever comes first, at an
operating temperature of 20oC and approximately 333 hours of opera-
tion per month. (HDD access frequency of 20% or less)

• When using a PL optional unit, be sure to check that unit’s specifica-
tions for any special conditions or cautions that may apply to its use.
• Since the PL unit’s hard disk drive (HDD) is a consumable item, i.e. it
has a limited lifetime, be sure to back up its data regularly and prepare
a spare HDD unit.
• Using the Hard Disk in an environment that is excessively hot and/or
humid will shorten the disk’s operation life. A wet bulb temperature of
29oC or less is recommended, which is equivalent to the following
data.
• To extend the life of your PL unit's hard disk, use the BIOS menu
[POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP] - [HDD Power Down] setting to
