Locations subject to direct sunlight
Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the range specified in the specifications
Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature
Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases

Locations close to power lines
• Before touching a Unit, be sure to first touch a grounded metallic object in order to discharge any
static build-up.
• Use the rated power supply voltage for the Units that supply power. Take appropriate measures to
ensure that the specified power with the rated voltage and frequency is supplied in places where the
power supply is unstable.
• Install the Units away from sources of heat and ensure proper ventilation. Not doing so may result in
malfunction, in operation stopping, or in burning.
• Do not allow foreign matter to enter the openings in the Unit. Doing so may result in Unit burning,
electric shock, or failure.
• If you change the event level of an error, the output status when the error occurs may also change.
Confirm safety before you change an event level.
• If you change the fail-soft operation setting, the output status when the error occurs may also change.
Confirm safety before you change the fail-soft operation setting.
