SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

(Read these precautions before using)

Please read this manual carefully and pay special attention to safely in order
to handle this product properly. Also pay careful attention to safely and handle
the module properly.
These precautions apply only to Mitsubishi equipment. Refer to the user’s
manual of the CPU module to use for a description of the PLC system safety
precautions.
These 

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

 classify the safety precautions into two

categories: "DANGER" and "CAUTION".

Depending on circumstances, procedures indicated by 
may also be linked to serious results.
In any case, it is important to follow the directions for usage.
Store this manual in a safe place so that you can take it out and read it
whenever necessary. Always forward it to the end user.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS] 

[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]

Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition 
and cause death or serious injury if not carried out 
properly.

Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition 
and cause superficial to medium injury, or physical 
damage only, if not carried out properly.

DANGER

CAUTION

CAUTION

• Configure an interlock circuit in a sequence program so that the system 

operates on the safety side using the communication status information 
in the event the data link falls into a communication problem.
Otherwise, erroneous output and malfunction may result in accidents.

• Remote input and output can not be switched ON or OFF when a 

problem occurs in the remote I/O modules. Therefore build an external 
monitoring circuit that will monitor any input signals that could cause a 
serious accident.

• Do not have control cables and communication cables bundled with or 

placed near by the main circuit and/or power cables. Wire those cables 
at least 100mm(3.94 inch) away from the main circuit and/or power 
cables. It may cause malfunction due to noise interference.

• Use the module and the flat cable dedicated to CC-Link/LT without 

applying any force on them.
Otherwise, such cables may be broken or fail.

DANGER

CAUTION

• Use the module in an environment that meets the general specifications 

contained in this manual. Using this module in an environment outside 
the range of the general specifications could result in electric shock, fire, 
erroneous operation, and damage to or deterioration of the product.

• Do not directly touch the module's conductive parts.Doing so could 

cause malfunction or trouble in the module.

• Tighten the module securely using DIN rail or installation screws within 

the specified torque range.
If the screws are too lose, the module may drop from its installation 
position, short circuit, or malfunction. If the screws are too tight, the 
screws may be damaged, which may cause the module to drop from its 
installation position or short circuit.

• Install the module on a flat surface.

If the mounting surface has concave and/or convex, an excessive force 
may be applied on the module, and nonconformity may be caused.

Notification of CE marking

This notification does not guarantee that an entire mechanical module produced
in accordance with the contents of the notification comply with the following
standards. Compliance to EMC standards of the entire mechanical module
should be checked by the user / manufacturer.

Standards with which this product complies

Type : Programmable Controller (Open Type Equipment) Remote I/O module
Models :  Products manufactured:

from February 1st, 2003 to April 30th, 2006 are compliant with
  EN61000-6-4 and EN61131-2:1994+A11:1996+A12:2000
after May 1st, 2006 are compliant with EN61131-2:2003

For more details please contact the local Mitsubishi Electric sales site.
- Notes For compliance to EMC regulation.
It is necessary to install the CL1 series module in a shielded metal control panel.

• Perform installation and wiring after disconnecting the power supply at all 

phases externally. If the power is not disconnected at all phases an electric 
shock or product damage may result.

• Terminal screws which are not to be used must be tightened always.

Otherwise there will be a danger of short circuit against the bare solderless 
terminals.

• Do not perform wiring to an idle terminal "NC" outside the product.

The product may be damaged by such external wiring.

• Perform correct wiring for the module according to the product’s rated voltage 

and terminal arrangement. Connecting to a power supply different from rating 
or miss-wiring may cause fire, product failure or malfunction.

• Fix terminal screws securely within the regulated torque. Loose terminal 

screws may cause fire and/or malfunction.
If the terminal screws are too tight, it may cause short circuit or erroneous 
operation due to damage of the screws.

• Make sure foreign objects do not get inside the module, such as dirt and wire 

chips. It may cause fire, product failure or malfunction.

• Attach a warning label (hazard symbol 417-IEC-5036) concerning the electric 

shock to the location.

• Do not touch the terminals when the power is ON. It may cause an electric 

shock or malfunction.

• Perform cleaning the module or retightening of terminal screws after turning 

OFF the all external power supply for sure. Failure to do so may cause failure 
or malfunction of the modules

• Do not disassemble or modify the module. Doing so may cause failure, 

malfunction, injury, or fire.

• The module case is made of resin; do not drop it or subject it to strong shock. 

A module damage may result.

• Make sure to switch all phases of the external power supply OFF before 

installing or removing the module to/from the panel. Failure to do so may 
cause failure or malfunction of the modules.

DANGER

CAUTION

DANGER

CAUTION

• When disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste.

• During transportation avoid any impact as the module is a precision 

instrument. Doing so could cause trouble in the module.

• If is necessary to check the operation of module after transportation, in case 

of any impact damage.

The CL1XY4-DT1B2 can be installed to DIN rail or directly installed using
mounting screws.
Each installation procedure is described below.

3.1 Installation to DIN rail

Align the upper DIN rail installation groove in the module with the DIN rail
1), and press the module in that status 2).
When removing the module, pull the hook downward for installation to DIN
rail 3), then remove the module 4).

DIN rail mounting screw pitch

When installing the module to the DIN rail, tighten the mounting screws at
the pitch of 200mm(7.87") or less. 

3.2 Direct installation

Screw-tighten the module by attaching M4 screws to the upper and lower
mounting holes (two holes in all) provided in the module.
Install the module so that the clearance of 1 to 2mm (0.04" to 0.08") is
assured for each module.
