on the main unit (fig. E).

4) Slide PLC cover (fig. A), and install to the main

unit (fig. E), as shown in the right figure.

4. Wiring 

When wiring the extension cable, keep a safe distance of more than 100 mm (3.94")
from the noise source such as output cables of a PLC or power source. 

4.1 Wiring inside Control Panel

Effects of noise are likely to take
place if the extension cable
touches the control panel.
Use the clamps offered as an
accessory to space the extension
cable from the cabinet and the
panel face as much as possible.
Moreover, the ferrite core with
extension cable should be fixed so
that it will not move.

Caution on using a clamp

1) When fixing ferrite core to the extension cable with clamp B, fix them together as

the figure shown below.

2) When fixing the extension cable with clamp A, Do not twist the cable as the figure

shown left below.

WIRING 
PRECAUTIONS

Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before attempting
installation or wiring work.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product.

WIRING 
PRECAUTIONS

Install module so that excessive force will not be applied to extension cable.
Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC failure.

When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure cutting or wire debris does not
enter the ventilation slits.
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.

Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any damage to
the machinery or accidents due to abnormal data written to the PLC under the
influence of noise:

- Do not bundle the main circuit line together with or lay it close to the main 

circuit, high-voltage line or load line.
Otherwise, noise disturbance and/or surge induction are likely to take place. 
As a guideline, lay the control line at least 100mm (3.94") or more away from 
the main circuit or high-voltage lines.

5.1 Removing Display Module from Display Holder

Take these steps after dismounting the holder from the control panel.

1) Turn OFF the power.
2) Disconnect the extension cable.
3) Remove the display holder from the panel face.
4) Float the display module fixing hook (fig. A) at the

bottom of the display holder a little using a flat head
screwdriver.

5) Push out the main unit connector (fig. B) part of the

display module from the rear while keeping the
display module fixing hook (fig. A) up a little. 

Be careful not to drop the display module.

6) Gently place the tip of the flat head screwdriver to

the display module fixing hooks (fig. C) on the top
face of the display holder.

7) Float the two display module fixing hook (fig. C) at

the top of the display holder a little by the flat head
screwdriver.

8) Hold the display module (fig. D) and remove the

display module (fig. D) from the front side.
