Precautions for Safe Use

Reference Manuals

Required safety functions will be lost, and death due to injury 
may possibly occur.
Do not use GI-S Series' test output as the safety output line.

Required safety functions will be lost, and death due to injury 
may possibly occur.
Do not use non-safety signals, including explicit messages and 
exposed variables, as safety signals.

Death due to injury may possibly occur.
LEDs are NOT reliable indicators and cannot be guaranteed to 
provide accurate information. They should ONLY be used for 
general diagnostics during commissioning or troubleshooting. Do 
not attempt to use LEDs as operational indicators.

Death due to injury may possibly occur.
Never ground the +24-V side of the power supply. Safety 
functions may not operate correctly due to ground faults.

OMRON  declares  that  GI-S  Series  Safety  I/O  Terminals  conform 
with the requirements of the following EU Directives:

EMC Directives: 2014/30/EU
Machinery Directive: 2006/42/EC

Fire or malfunction may possibly occur if screws loosen.
Tighten terminal block fixing screws to the torques specified in 
the reference manual. 

Moderate burn injury may possibly occur. Do not touch any device 
when power is being supplied or immediately after the power 
supply is turned OFF.

Transporting/Installation/Wiring

• Do not drop any product or subject it to abnormal vibration or shock. Doing so may 

result in injury, product malfunction or burning.

• Do not operate or store the product in the following locations. Doing so may result in 

burning, in operation stopping, or in malfunction.

a) Locations subject to direct sunlight
b) Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the range specified in the 

specifications

c) Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in 

temperature

d) Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases
e) Locations subject to dust (especially iron dust) or salts
f)  Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, or chemicals
g) Locations subject to shock or vibration
h) Locations subject to noise due to static electricity

• This is a Class A product (for industrial environments). In a residential environment, 

it may cause radio interference. If radio interference occurs, the user may be 
required to take appropriate measures.

• Use the GI-S Series in the enclosure complying with IP54 (IEC/EN 60529) or higher.
• In installing to the control panel, use DIN Tracks (TH35-7.5/TH35-15: IEC60715). In 

order to prevent drops due to vibration, fix the GI-S Series to the DIN Tracks using 
End Plates (sold separately).

• Install the product in a well-ventilated area. Avoid installing the product near heating 

elements. Doing so may result in malfunction, in operation stopping, or in burning.

• Follow the instructions in the reference manual to correctly perform installation and 

wiring.

• Use the methods that are specified in the reference manual for wiring the terminal 

blocks.

• When you install wiring, be sure to turn off the power beforehand. Otherwise, the 

external devices connected with the GI-S Series may operate unexpectedly.

• Use the correct wire size, wiring parts and tools when you wire the system. 

Otherwise, cables may be disconnected to cause short-circuit or wire breakage.

• Make sure that the current capacity of the wire is sufficient. Otherwise, excessive 

heat may be generated. When cross-wiring terminals, the total current for all the 
terminals will flow in the wire. When wiring cross-overs, make sure that the current 
capacity of each of the wires is not exceeded.

• Make sure that foreign material or metal dust should not come into the Safety I/O 

Terminal while wiring and/or installation. Doing so may result in product burning, 
electric shock, or failure.

• When you insert a flat-blade screwdriver into a release hole on the screwless 

clamping terminal block, press the screwdriver down with an appropriate angle and a 
force of 30 N or less. Applying excessive force may damage the terminal block.

• Do not tilt or twist the flat-blade screwdriver while it is pressed into the release hole 

of the screwless clamping terminal block. Doing so may break the terminal block.

• Do not pull on the cables or bend the cables beyond their natural limit. Do not place 

any heavy objects on the cables or other wiring lines. Doing so may severe the 
cables.

• Mount terminal blocks and connectors only after checking the mounting location 

carefully. During this time, be careful not to pinch your fingers.

• Be sure that the terminal blocks and Ethernet communications cables with tightening 

screws or locking devices are properly tightened to or locked into place.

• DC power supplies must meet the following items:

a) Use reinforced insulation or double insulation.
b) Ensure an output hold time of 20 ms min.
c) Use an SELV power supply that meets the requirements of IEC/EN 60950-1 and 

EN 50178.

• Select a unit power and output power supply with sufficient capacity by considering 

the power supply capacity or inrush current when the power is turned ON that is 
specified in the reference manual. Otherwise, the external power supply may not be 
turned ON or malfunction due to unstable power supply voltage.

• Use the unit power supply and output power supply within the operating power 

supply voltage range specified on the reference manual.

• Do not apply voltages that exceed the rated value or connect loads to the GI-S 

Series Terminals.

• Surge current occurs when the power supply is turned ON. When selecting fuses or 

breakers for external circuits, consider the fusing and sensing characteristics to 
select fuses or breakers with appropriate specification. Refer to the reference manual 
for surge current specifications.

Operation/Maintenance

• Always turn OFF the power supply to the Safety I/O Terminal before you attempt any 

of the following.

1) Assembling the Units
2) Setting rotary switches
3) Connecting cables or wiring the system
4) Connecting or disconnecting the terminal blocks or connectors
5) Attaching or removing the memory cassette

  The V0 indicator for the controller remains lit for several seconds after power is 

turned off. Make sure that the V0 indicator is not lit before you perform any of the 
above operations.

• Avoid applying excessive force when you change the rotary switch settings.
• Insert the memory cassette all the way. And also, do not remove the memory 

cassette while the power is being supplied. Data may become corrupted, and the 
product will not operate correctly if it uses corrupted data.

• Always confirm safety before you transfer data or setting values from the Sysmac 

Studio. During transfer, do not disconnect the cable or turn OFF the power supply to 
the Safety I/O Terminal.

• If EtherNet/IP tag data links (cyclic communications) are used with a repeating hub, 

the communications load on the network will increase. This will increase collisions 
and may prevent stable communications. Do not use repeating hubs on networks 
where tag data links are used. Use an Ethernet switch instead.

• Make sure to use the communications distance and method of connection for 

EtherNet/IP within specifications. Do not connect EtherNet/IP communications to 
Ether-CAT or other networks. An overload may cause the network to fail or 
malfunction.

Disposal

Dispose of the product in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations of the
