EMC Directives
OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related EMC
standards so that they can be more easily built into other devices or the overall
machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC stand-
ards (see the following note). Whether the products conform to the standards in
the system used by the customer, however, must be checked by the customer.
EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives
will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the equip-
ment or control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed. The customer
must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices and the overall
machine conform to EMC standards.
Note
Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:
EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility):EN61000-6-2
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference):EN
61000-6-4
(Radiated emission: 10-m regulations)
Low Voltage Directive
Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 VAC and 75 to
1,500 VDC meet the required safety standards for the PLC (EN61131-2).

EMC Directives
OMRON Units complying with EC Directives also conform to related EMC stan-
dards making them easier to incorporate in other Units or machines. The actual
products have been checked for conformity to EMC standards. (See the following
note.) Whether the products conform to the standards in the system used by the
customer, however, must be checked by the customer.
EMC-related performance of OMRON Units complying with EC Directives will
vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the equip-
ment or control panel in which OMRON devices are installed. The customer
must, therefore, perform final checks to confirm that units and the overall system
conforms to EMC standards.
