Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous 
conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous 
conditions, resulting in medium or slight personal injury 
or physical damage.

STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE 
PRECAUTIONS

Do not touch any terminal while the PLC's power is on. 
Doing so may cause electric shock or malfunctions.

Before cleaning or retightening terminals, cut off all phases of the power
supply externally. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.

Before modifying or disrupting the program in operation or running the
PLC, carefully read through this manual and the associated manuals and
ensure the safety of the operation. 
An operation error may damage the machinery or cause accidents.

STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE 
PRECAUTIONS

Turn off the power to the PLC before attaching or detaching the memory
cassette. If the memory cassette is attached or detached while the PLC's
power is on, the data in the memory may be destroyed, or the memory
cassette may be damaged.

Do not disassemble or modify the PLC. 
Doing so may cause fire, equipment failures, or malfunctions. 
For repair, contact your local Mitsubishi Electric representative.

Turn off the power to the PLC before connecting or disconnecting any
connection cable. 
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.

Turn off the power to the PLC before attaching or detaching the following
devices. Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.

- Peripheral devices, display module, expansion boards, special 

adapters and memory cassette

Do not use the chemicals for cleaning.

If there is the possibility of touching the PLC inside a control panel in
maintenance, make sure to discharge to avoid the influence of static
electricity.

DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS

Please contact a certified electronic waste disposal company for the
environmentally safe recycling and disposal of your device.

TRANSPORTATION AND 
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

The PLC is a precision instrument. During transportation, avoid impacts
larger than those specified in section 3.1 by using dedicated packaging
boxes and shock-absorbing palettes. 
Failure to do so may cause failures in the PLC. 
After transportation, verify operation of the PLC and check for damage of
the mounting part, etc.

How to obtain manuals

For the necessary product manuals or documents, consult with your local

STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE 
PRECAUTIONS

Certification of UL, cUL standards

Please consult with Mitsubishi Electric for information on UL, cUL standard

practices and the corresponding types of equipment.

Compliance with EC directive (CE Marking)

This product complies with EC directive, however, this document does not

guarantee that a mechanical system including this product will comply with EC

directive.

Compliance to EMC directive and LVD directive of the entire mechanical

system should be checked by the user/manufacturer. For more details please

contact the local Mitsubishi Electric sales site.

Caution for compliance with EC Directive

Please use the FX

3S

 programmable controllers while installed in conductive

shielded control panels under a general industrial environment.

Programmable controllers are open-type devices that must be installed and

used within conductive control panels. Please secure the control box lid to

the control box (for conduction). Installation within a control box greatly

affects the safety of the system and aids in shielding noise from the

programmable controller.

For the control panel, use the product having sufficient strength, fire

protectiveness and shielding property to an installation environment.

24 V DC of the power supply must be supplied from the circuit double/

reinforced insulated from the main power supply (MAINS).

Caution for compliance with the LVD directive (EN61010-2-201:2013)

*1

To an external connection port other than AC power supply terminal and AC

input/output terminal, connect the circuit separated from a dangerous

voltage by a double/reinforced insulation.

Between the commons having the adjacent relay output terminals, if an

external power supply is higher than 120 V AC, the insulation is basic.

Therefore, when using 120 V AC or higher external power supply and 30 V

DC/AC or lower external power supply between the adjacent commons, do

not handle 30 V DC/AC or lower external power supply as a touchable part,

(When handling 30 V DC/AC or lower external power supply as a touchable

part, add a basic insulation.)

Do not wire two or more crimp terminals to one terminal. (If the wiring with

two or more wires is needed, take an appropriate action such as adding an

external terminal.)

For crimp terminals to be used for the wiring applied with 30 V AC or higher,

use the products with insulating sleeves.

Cutoff device such as a breaker or a circuit protector should be installed in

accordance with the following precautions.

- Use EN60947-1 or EN60947-3 standards.

- Use CP30-BA 2P 1-MD 0.5A or the cutoff device having the cutoff performance 

equivalent to CP30-BA 2P 1-MD 0.5A.

- Place the cutoff device so that it can be operated easily.

- Specify that the cutoff device is for this equipment.

*1 For the time of compliance with the LVD directive (EN61010-2-201:2013),

refer to FX

3S

 Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition.

Analog input/output

The analog input/output have been found to be compliant to the European

standards in the aforesaid manual and directive. However, for the very best

performance from what are in fact delicate measuring and controlled output

devices, Mitsubishi Electric would like to make the following points.

As analog devices are sensitive by nature, their use should be considered

carefully. For users of proprietary cables (integral with sensors or actuators),

these users should follow those manufacturers' installation requirements.

Mitsubishi Electric recommends that shielded cables be used. If NO other EMC

protection is provided, users may experience temporary loss or accuracy

b10 %/-10 % in very heavy industrial areas.

However, Mitsubishi Electric suggests that adequate EMC precautions be

followed for the users complete control system.

- Sensitive analog cables should not be laid in the same trunking or cable 

conduit as high voltage cabling. Where possible, users should run analog 

cables separately.

- Good cable shielding should be used. When terminating the shield at 

Earth, ensure that no earth loops are accidentally created.

- When reading analog values, EMC accuracy can be improved by 

averaging the readings. This can be achieved either through functions on 

the analog products or through a user's program in the FX

3S

 Series PLC 

main unit.
