Precautions before Use
Installation Environment
Avoid installing and operating the PV500 in the following locations:
•
Location with direct sunlight or environmental temperatures that exceed a range of the “operating
ambient temperature” for each product.
•
Locations with a relative humidity exceeding a range of the “operating ambient humidity” for each
product or with a condensing due to a sharp temperature change.
•
Locations with an atmosphere containing corrosive gases or flammable gases.
•
Locations subject the main unit to direct vibration or impact.
•
Locations with a lot of fine particles, iron filings or salt.
•
Locations where the product can become wet with water, oil or chemicals.
•
Locations with an atmosphere likely to contain organic solvents (such as benzene, paint thinner, and
alcohol) or strongly alkaline materials (such as ammonia and caustic soda).
•
Locations where a load applies onto the unit.
•
Locations near the devices that generate large switching surges, high-voltage wires and devices,
power-driven lines and devices, and transmitting devices, such as radios.
Static Electricity
•
In dry environment, high voltages of static electricity might be generated. When you touch the product, you
should always discharge the accumulated static electricity through your body by touching a grounded
metal surface.
Cleaning
•
Never use thinners or similar solvents, as they may dissolve the board and lead to colors to run.
Power Supply Unit and Power Sequence
•
Use an insulated power supply with a built-in protection circuit. Applying an abnormal voltage might
damage the internal circuit. If you use a power supply unit without a protection circuit, supply power
through a protective device such as a fuse.
•
Consider the power supply sequence so that the power supply unit for the PV500 can be turned off before
the one for the input/output is turned off.
If you turn the input/output power off before turning off PV500, the device will detect a change in the input
signal level and may malfunction.
Before Turning on the PV500
•
Pay attentions to the followings when turning on the PV500 for the first time:
- Confirm no wiring waste or especially any conductive substance is on the printed circuit board.
- Confirm that the power wiring, input/output wiring and power supply voltage are correct.
- Confirm that the fixing and terminal screws are securely tightened.
General Cautions
•
Use the keypad, camera, camera cables, monitor and a monitor cable of the product numbers specified by
Panasonic Industrial Devices SUNX Co., Ltd. A breakdown, damage or destruction by using any other
than the specified will not be covered by our guarantee.
•
Do not change or set items that should not be as described in the manuals or the specifications.
Breakdown, damage or destruction resulting from changing or setting them will not be covered by our
guarantee.
•
Do not perform a test of insulation resistance or withstand voltage between the power source or
input/output signals and the metallic part of connectors or camera cases.
•
To avoid loss of data by accident, also save the setting data stored in PV500 into a PC or an external
storage media.
