Attention
This product is designed for use in industrial applications.
Caution for EC Directive
The analog special adapters have been found to be compliant to the European
standards in the aforesaid manual and directive. However, for the very best per-
formance from what are in fact delicate measuring and controlled output device
Mitsubishi Electric would like to make the following points;
As analog devices are sensitive by nature, their use should be considered care-
fully. For users of proprietary cables (integral with sensors or actuators), these
users should follow those manufacturers installation requirements.
Mitsubishi Electric recommend that shielded cables should be used. If NO other
EMC protection is provided, then users may experience temporary loss or
accuracy between ±10 % in very heavy industrial areas.
However, Mitsubishi Electric suggest that if adequate EMC precautions are fol-
lowed for the users complete control system, users should expect accuracy as
specified in this manual.
•
Sensitive analog cable should not be laid in the same trunking or cable
conduit as high voltage cabling. Where possible users should run analog
cables separately.
•
Good cable shielding should be used. When terminating the shield at Earth
- ensure that no earth loops are accidentally created.
•
When reading analog values, EMC accuracy can be improved out by
averaging the readings. This can be achieved either through functions on the
analog special adapters or through a users program.

WIRING
PRECAUTIONS
•
Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before
attempting installation or wiring work.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product.
WIRING
PRECAUTIONS
•
When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure cutting or wire debris does
not enter the ventilation slits.
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.
•
Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent
malfunctions under the influence of noise:
1) Do not bundle the power line or shield of the analog input/output cable
together with or lay it close to the main circuit, high-voltage line, or load
line.
Otherwise, noise disturbance and/or surge induction are likely to take
place. As a guideline, lay the control line at least 100 mm (3.94") or more
away from the main circuit, high-voltage line, or load line.
2) Ground the shield of the analog input/output cable at one point on the
signal receiving side. However, do not use common grounding with heavy
electrical systems.
•
Make sure to properly wire to the terminal block (European type) in
accordance with the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit,
wire breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product.
- The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions
described in the manual.
- Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual.
- Twist the end of strand wire and make sure that there are no loose wires.
- Do not solder-plate the electric wire ends.
- Do not connect more than the specified number of wires or electric wires
of unspecified size.
- Affix the electric wires so that neither the terminal block nor the connected
parts are directly stressed.

*2 Old model name: CRIMPFOX UD 6
When using a ferrule with insulation sleeve, choose a wire with proper cable
sheath referring to the above outside dimensions, or otherwise, the wire
cannot be inserted easily. The tightening torque must be 0.22 to 0.25 N
•
m. Do
not tighten terminal screws with a torque outside the above-mentioned range.

Precautions on thermocouple wiring
•
Thermocouple type
- There are 2 types of thermocouples: Type K and Type J. Select the desired
type. However, be sure to connect the same type of thermocouple to all the
channels.
- Use insulated thermocouple types.
•
Compensating lead
wire To connect the
thermocouple, use
one of the right types
of compensating lead
wires.
The compensating
lead wire indicates the temperature value of approximately 0.12
°
C higher than
that of the wire resistor (10
Ω
). Temperature value should be used in
consideration of this point.
If the compensating lead wire is very long, the wire may be easily affected by
noise, etc. It is, therefore, recommended that the length of the compensating
lead wire should be 100 m (328' 1") or less.
Example of thermocouple wiring
*1 When using the Type J thermocouple, short-circuit the 'Type J' terminals
and turn the special auxiliary relay (Type K/J mode changeover) ON.
For details of auxiliary relays, refer to the following manual.
