(4) Operating environment
When using this unit on the machine, observe the following
cautions:
(a) Dust
Because the PANEL i is not covered with panels, except for
the front door section, it must be enclosed in a sealed
cabinet. While the door is open, dust can enter the floppy
disk unit and cabinet via the disk insertion slot. If the
PANEL i is installed in a dusty environment, more floppy
disk failures than normal may occur.
(b) Temperature
+5°C to +45°C (operating)
The operating temperature range for this unit is stricter than
ordinary units because of the restrictions imposed by the
floppy disk. So, pay special attention to the way it is
cooled.
Avoid blowing air directly from a cooling fan, as dust in the
air may stick to the components of the unit.
(5) Handling precautions
Do NOT switch on the power to PANEL i while a floppy disk is
inserted, and especially when the floppy disk is being accessed
(LED is on). Machine tool builders are requested to provide
this information to their end users.
