1.  Installation
1-1.   Installing the control panel
Follow the instructions set forth in “Safety precautions” and also observe the 
cautionary items below.
Be absolutely sure to ask your dealer to do the jobs of installing and connecting the panel.
Connecting the power supply
 
 Be absolutely sure to use only the power cord and AC adapter supplied with the 
panel.
 
 Be absolutely sure to connect the grounding terminal of the power cord to 
ground.
Also connect the ground terminal (SIGNAL GND) at the rear of the panel to the 
system ground.
 
 If only one AC adapter is to be connected, place the dust-proof cap over the DC 
power input socket that is not going to be used.
 
 To prevent the DC plug from being disconnected, secure the cable of the AC 
adapter to the cable clamp.
 
 When the control panel is not going to be used for a prolonged period of time, 
set its power switch to the “off ” position to conserve power, and disconnect the 
power plug.

Handle the control panel carefully! 
 Dropping the control panel or subjecting it to strong impact or vibration may cause trouble and/or malfunctioning.
Do not allow any foreign objects to enter inside the control panel!  
 Allowing water, metal items, scraps of food or other foreign objects inside the control panel may cause a fire 
and/or electric shocks.
Choosing the best installation location  
 This unit is designed for indoor use only.
 
 Install the unit on a sufficiently strong, stable and level 
surface for use.
 
 Ensure a space of at least 100 mm around the rear 
vents to avoid obstructing ventilation. 
In particular, ensure sufficient space between 
ventilation and wiring when using mounted in a panel 
or table.
 
 Do not install the panel in a cold place where the 
temperatures will drop below 32 °F (0 °C) or in a hot 
place where the temperatures will rise above 104 °F 
(40 °C).
 
 Avoid installing the panel where it will be exposed to 
direct sunlight or to the hot air that is blown out from 
other products.
 
 Installing the panel in a very humid, dusty or vibration-
prone location may give rise to trouble.

Comply with the instructions set forth in “Safety precautions” and also observe 
the cautionary items below.
Be absolutely sure to ask your dealer to do the jobs of installing and connecting the mainframe.
Connecting the power supply
 
 Be absolutely sure to use the power cord supplied with the mainframe.
 
 Be absolutely sure to connect the grounding terminal of the power cord to ground.
Handle the mainframe carefully!  
 Dropping the mainframe or subjecting it to strong impact or vibration may cause trouble and/or malfunctioning.

 Allowing water, metal items, scraps of food or other foreign objects inside the control panel may cause a fire 
and/or electric shocks.
Choosing the best installation location  
 This unit is designed for indoor use only.
 
 Mount the mainframe securely in a standard 19-inch rack (with a depth dimension of at least 600 mm) that 
meets the EIA standard or its equivalent for use.
 
 Install the mainframe securely using screws that are compatible with the rack.
 
 Be absolutely sure to attach the support guides used to support the back part of the mainframe. (Provide 
support guides that are compatible with the rack.)
 
 Provide sufficient clearances from the area around the ventilation holes at the front and the cooling fan at the 
back.
 
 Do not install the mainframe in a cold place where the temperatures will drop below 32 °F (0 °C) or in a hot 
place where the temperatures will rise above 104 °F (40 °C).
 
 Avoid installing the mainframe where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or to the hot air that is blown out from
