Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous 

conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous 

conditions, resulting in minor or moderate injury or 

property 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 in the power ON status may cause electric shock.

Before modifying the program in operation, forcing output, running or stopping

the PLC, read through this manual carefully, and ensure complete safety.

An operation error may damage the machinery or cause accidents.

Do not change the program in the PLC from two or more peripheral equipment

devices at the same time. (i.e. from an engineering tool and a GOT)

Doing so may cause destruction or malfunction of the PLC program.

Use the battery for memory backup in conformance to the MELSEC iQ-F

FX5U User's Manual (Hardware).

- Use the battery for the specified purpose only.

- Connect the battery correctly.

- Do not charge, disassemble, heat, put in fire, short-circuit, connect 

reversely, weld, swallow or burn the battery, or apply excessive forces 

(vibration, impact, drop, etc.) to the battery.

- Do not store or use the battery at high temperatures or expose to direct sunlight.

- Do not expose to water, bring near fire or touch liquid leakage or other 

contents directly.

- When replacing the battery, make sure to use our specified product (FX

3U

-32BL).

- When a battery error occurs ("BAT" LED is lit in red), follow the 

description in MELSEC iQ-F FX5U User's Manual (Hardware).

Incorrect handling of the battery may cause heat excessive generation,

bursting, ignition, liquid leakage or deformation, and lead to injury, fire or

failures and malfunction of facilities and other equipment.

STARTUP AND 
MAINTENANCE 
PRECAUTIONS

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
extension 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, expansion board, expansion adapter, and 

connector conversion adapter

- Extension modules, bus conversion module, and battery

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.

When disposing of batteries, separate them from other waste according to
local regulations.
(For details on the Battery Directive in EU countries, refer to the MELSEC
iQ-F FX5U User's Manual (Hardware).)

TRANSPORTATION 
PRECAUTIONS

When transporting the PLC with the optional battery, turn on the PLC
before shipment, confirm that the battery mode is set using a parameter and
the BAT LED is OFF, and check the battery life.
If the PLC is transported with the BAT LED ON or the battery exhausted,
the battery-backed data may be unstable during transportation.

The PLC is a precision instrument. During transportation, avoid impacts
larger than those specified in the general specifications (Section 2.1)

 

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.

When transporting lithium batteries, follow required transportation regulations.
(For details on the regulated products, refer to the MELSEC iQ-F FX5U
User's Manual (Hardware).)

How to obtain manuals
