Panel Computer Unit (PCU-3010)

The PCU-3010 can be flush-mounted or desktop-mounted (optional).
Mounting considerations
When selecting a desktop mounting location, keep the following points in mind:
• Locate the PCU away from heat sources. The cabinet can build up heat inside,
causing undue wear to electrical components.
• Choose the mounting location while considering the length of cable between the
PCU and other equipment to be connected.
• Do not cover the air intakes near the connectors at the base of the PCU.
• Leave at least 50 mm clearance around the rear air vents of the unit to allow heat
dissipation.
• Locate the PCU away from areas which may be subject to splash or rain.
• Referring to the outline diagrams at the back of this manual, leave sufficient space
around the equipment to facilitate maintenance.
• Keep in mind the desired location of the trackball unit. Make sure there is enough
room to install the Trackball Control Unit near the PCU.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the equipment is placed too close to the
magnetic compass. Observe the compass safe distances at the front of this manual
to prevent interference to a magnetic compass.
• Vibration at the mounting location should be minimum.
• Alarm and alert buzzer sounds are generated from a speaker on the face of the
PCU. To avoid sound dampening, do not place any object in front of the PCU.
Ensure the speaker hole is kept free of dust and water.
NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact
spray to coating or plastic parts of the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents that can damage
coating and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors.
