PPC-5170GS Flat Panel PC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1 Prior to installing, moving, and modifying the panel PC, make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected. 2 Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range. Doing so will cause fire or an electrical shock. 3 Electric shocks can occur if the panel is opened. Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings of the panel PC.
PAGE 4
PPC-5170GS Flat Panel PC 5 The panel PC is actively cooled. In no circumstances should the panel PC operate with the openings obstructed by foreign objects. However, the ambient temperature of the installation site should be observed and controlled to avoid overheating the panel PC. 6 Condensation might form inside the panel PC chassis if exposed to sudden changes in temperature. 7 Carefully route the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place anything over the power cord.

PPC-5170GS Flat Panel PC NOTE: A jumper is a metal bridge that is used to close an electrical circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means connecting the pins of the jumper with the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip from a jumper. The POS-8520 comes with fifteen jumpers (Table 3-1).
