  • Page 1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing Proface’s PL-B900/PL-B910 series Box Type Industrial Computer, hereafter referred to as "the PL". This unit embodies Proface’s latest, cost-effective architecture and is designed for Industrial Automation users. Prior to using your PL, be sure to read this manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with the unit's operation procedures and functions.

  • Page 2: Essential Safety Precautions

    Preface Essential Safety Precautions This manual includes the following cautions concerning procedures that must be followed to operate the PL correctly and safely. Prior to operating the PL, be sure to read this manual and any related materials thoroughly to understand the correct opera- tion and functions of this unit.
  • Page 3 Preface WARNINGS • When a problem occurs with the PL’s backlight or display that causes the screen to go blank, the touch-panel may still be active, since it is a separate unit. In such a case, do not operate the touch panel, since an unexpected ma- chine action or movement may occur, which may in turn cause machine damage or operator injury.
  • Page 4 Preface CAUTIONS • Avoid exposing the PL to, or operating the PL in direct sunlight, high temperatures and humidity, and in areas where excessive dust and vibration will occur. • Avoid using the PL in areas where sudden, extreme changes in temperature can occur. This may cause con- densation to form inside the unit, possibly leading to an accident.
