Operating Environment
1. Do not use in an atmosphere containing an inflammable
gas or explosive gas.
Use in such an atmosphere is likely to cause a fire or explosion.
This system is not explosion-proof.
1. Select the proper type of enclosure according to the
environment of operation.
IP65/67 protection class is achieved when the following
conditions are met.
1) The units are connected properly with wiring cable for power
supply, communication connector, and cable with M12
connector.
2) Suitable mounting of each unit and manifold valve.
3) Be sure to mount a seal cap on any unused connectors.
If using in an environment that is exposed to water splashes,
please take measures such as using a cover.
When EX600-D E or EX600-D F are connected, the
enclosure of the manifold should be IP40.
Also, the Handheld Terminal confirms to IP20, so prevent
foreign matter from entering inside, and water, solvent or oil from
coming in direct contact with it.
2. Provide adequate protection when operating in locations
such as the following.
Failure to do so may cause damage or malfunction. The effect
of countermeasures should be checked in individual equipment
and machine.
1) Where noise is generated by static electricity, etc.
2) Where there is a strong electric field
3) Where there is a danger of exposure to radiation
4) When in close proximity to power supply lines
3. Do not use in an environment where oil and chemicals are
used.
Operating in environments with coolants, cleaning solvents,
various oils or chemicals may cause adverse effects (damage,
malfunction) to the unit even in a short period of time.
4. Do not use in an environment where the product could be
exposed to corrosive gas or liquid.
This may damage the unit and cause it to malfunction.
5. Do not use in locations with sources of surge generation.
Installation of the unit in an area around the equipment
(electromagnetic lifters, high frequency induction furnaces,
welding machine, motors etc.), which generates the large surge
voltage could cause to deteriorate an internal circuitry element
of the unit or result in damage. Implement countermeasures
against the surge from the generating source, and avoid
touching the lines with each other.
6. Use the product type that has an integrated surge
absorption element when directly driving a load which
generates surge voltage by relay, solenoid valves or lamp.
When a surge generating load is directly driven, the unit may be
damaged.
7. The product is CE marked, but not immune to lightning
strikes. Take measures against lightning strikes in your
system.
8. Keep dust, wire scraps and other extraneous material from
getting inside the product.
This may cause malfunction or damage.
9. Mount the unit in such locations, where no vibration or
shock is affected.
This may cause malfunction or damage.
10. Do not use in places where there are cyclic temperature
changes.
In case that the cyclic temperature is beyond normal
temperature changes, the internal unit is likely to be adversely
effected.
11. Do not use in direct sunlight.
Do not use in direct sunlight. It may cause malfunction or
damage.
12. Use this product within the specified ambient temperature
range.
This may cause malfunction.
13. Do not use in places where there is radiated heat around
it.
Such a place is likely to cause malfunction.
Adjustment/Operation
1. Do not perform operation or setting with wet hands.
There is a risk of electrical shock.
<Handheld Terminal>
2. Do not apply pressure to the LCD display.
There is a possibility of the crack of LCD display and injuring.
3. The forced input/output function is used to change the
signal status forcibly. When operating this function, be
sure to check the safety of the surroundings and
installation.
Otherwise, injury or equipment damage could result.
4. Incorrect setting of parameters can cause malfunction. Be
sure to check the settings before use.
This may cause injury or equipment damage.
1.
Use a watchmaker’s screwdriver with thin blade for the
setting of each switch of the SI unit.
When setting the switch, do not touch other unrelated
parts.
This may cause parts damage or malfunction due to a short
circuit.
2. Provide adequate setting for the operating conditions.
Failure to do so could result in malfunction.
Refer to the instruction manual for setting of the switches.
3. For the details of programming and address setting, refer
to the manual from the PLC manufacturer.
The content of programming related to protocol is designed by
the manufacturer of the PLC used.
<Handheld Terminal>
4. Do not press the setting buttons with a sharp pointed
object.
This may cause damage or malfunction.
5. Do not apply excessive load and impact to the setting
buttons.
This may cause damage, equipment failure or malfunction.
