Installing the PL
4.2.1 Installation Procedures
Follow the steps given below when installing the PL.
Attaching the Installation Gasket
Even if the your PL unit’s Installation Gasket is not needed to prevent water from
entering the unit, the gasket also acts as a vibration absorber and should always be
attached. To install the gasket, place the PL face down on a soft surface and attach the
gasket to the rear side of the display face, in the plastic bezel’s groove (see picture
below). Be sure the grooved face of the gasket is vertical.
• Prior to installing the PL into a cabinet or panel, check that the Instal-
lation Gasket is securely attached to the unit.
• Use for extended periods of time or repeated removal and reattach-
ment of the PL unit in a panel may cause the installation gasket to fail
to provide moisture resistance equivalent to IP65f. To provide a con-
sistent level of dust and moisture resistance, Pro-face recommends
replacing the gasket every year or whenever cracks or scratches ap-
pear.
• The installation gasket’s product code is PL-WS500.
• Even if the PL unit is operated in an environment where dust and mois-
ture resistance are not required, Pro-face strongly recommends the
gasket is attached.
• Since this gasket is not elastic, it should not be stretched. When in-
stalling the gasket, be careful not to tear it, especially in bezel corners.
• Do not press the gasket’s seam into any of the bezel’s corners. If the
seam is placed in a corner, strain on the gasket may cause it to tear at
the seam.
• To produce a consistent level of dust and moisture resistance, be sure
to insert the gasket’s seam in the bottom portion of the bezel, not in
the sides or top.
• The gasket is correctly inserted if approximately 2mm of gasket is vis-
ible above the bezel. When installing the gasket, be sure to check that
the gasket is correctly inserted into the bezel.
• If the gasket is not inserted correctly into the bezel, the moisture and
dust resistance level will not be equivalent to IP65f.
