Warning 

Do not attempt to disassemble this unit and do not touch the interior  

of any Unit while the power is being supplied. In addition, do not turn  

on electricity in the state that founded a cover. Doing so may result in  

Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify this unit. Any attempt 

 to do so may result in malfunction, fire, or electric shock. 

Take a fail-safe countermeasures by the customer to secure safety in  

case of an 

abnormal signal casued by broken signal line and  

Not doing so may result in serious accidents. 

Pay careful attention to the pola/-) when the DC power supply.  

A wrong connection may cause malfunction of the system.  

• Install correctly according to instructions in the instruction manual. Improper  

installation of the Unit may result in malfunction. 

• Do not drop any Unit or subject any Unit to excessive shock or vibration.  

Otherwise, Unit failure or malfunction may occur. 

• Do not operate the control system in the following locations: 

• Locations subject to direct sunlight. 

• Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the range specified in 

the specifications.

• Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases. 

• Locations subject to dust (especially iron dust) or salts. 

• Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, acid, or chemicals. 

• Locations subject to shock or vibration. 

• 

Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures when installing systems in 

the following locations: 

• Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise. 

• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields. 

• Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity. 

• Locations close to power lines. 

• Wire all connections correctly according to instructions in the instruction  

• Use the correct wiring materials to wire the Units. 

• Confirm voltage specifications when wiring communications, the power supply. 

  Incorrect wiring may result in malfunction. 

• 

Turn off the power of Controller and all slaves before wiring the communication 

• 

Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the rated  

voltage and frequency is supplied. Be particularly careful in places where the 

power supply is unstable. An incorrect power supply may result in malfunction. 

• Check the user program for proper execution before actually running it on the 

Unit. Not checking the program may result in unexpected operation. 

• Check all wiring and switch settings to be sure they are correct.
