Caution for EC Directive
Installation in Enclosure
Programmable controllers are open-type devices that must be installed and used
within conductive control cabinets. Please use the programmable controller while
installed within a conductive shielded control cabinet. Installation within a control
cabinet greatly affects the safety of the system and aids in shielding noise from the
programmable controller.
Control cabinet
- The control cabinet must be conductive.
- Ground the control cabinet with the thickest possible grounding cable.
- To ensure that there is electric contact between the control cabinet and its door,
connect the cabinet and its doors with thick wires.
- In order to suppress the leakage of radio waves, the control cabinet structure
must have minimal openings. Also, wrap the cable holes with a shielding cover or
other shielding devices.
- The gap between the control cabinet and its door must be as small as possible by
attaching EMI gaskets between them.
*1 These wires are used to improve the conductivity between the door and control
cabinet.
Cables
- Make sure to use shielded cables as cables pulled out of the control cabinet.
- Connect the shield such as shielded cables and shielding covers to the grounded
control cabinet.
It is possible that the accuracy temporarily fluctuates within ±10 %.

INSTALLATION
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.
Use the product within the generic environment specifications described in the
User's Manual (Hardware) for the CPU module to be used.
Never use the product in areas with excessive dust, oily smoke, conductive dusts,
corrosive gas (salt air, Cl
2
, H
2
S, SO
2
or NO

), flammable gas, vibration or
impacts, or expose it to high temperature, condensation, or rain and wind.
If the product is used in such conditions, electric shock, fire, malfunctions,
deterioration or damage may occur.
INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
Do not touch the conductive parts of the product directly.
Doing so may cause device failures or malfunctions.
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.
Install the product on a flat surface.
If the mounting surface is rough, undue force will be applied to the PC board,
thereby causing nonconformities.
Install the product securely using a DIN rail or mounting screws.
Connect the expansion board and expansion adapter securely to their designated
connectors.
Loose connections may cause malfunctions.

3. Wiring
3.1 Cable End Treatment And Tightening Torque
3.1.1
European type terminal block
1) Wiring type
Use shielded compensating lead wire that is suitable for the thermocouple
type when wiring the thermocouple.
2) Suitable wiring
3) Tightening torque
Tighten the terminal screws with 0.20 N
m.
Do not tighten the screws outside the specified torque.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
4) Wire end treatment
Strip the coating of strand wire and twist the cable core before connecting it,
or strip the coating of single wire before connecting it.
When using a wire ferrule with an insulating sleeve, choose a wire with
proper cable sheath referring to the above outside dimensions, otherwise
the wire cannot be inserted easily.
<Reference>
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.
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 ends of stranded wires 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.
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 any
damage to the machinery or accidents due to malfunction of the PLC caused
by abnormal data written to the PLC due to the effects of noise:
1) Do not bundle the power line or analog input/output cable together with or
lay them close to the main circuit, high-voltage line, load line or power
line. As a guideline, lay the power line, control line and communication
cables at least 100 mm away from the main circuit, high-voltage line, load
line or power 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.

5) Tool
For tightening the terminal, use a
c o m m e r c i a l l y a v a i l a b l e s m a l l
screwdriver having a straight form
that is not widened toward the end
as shown right.
Note:
If the diameter of screwdriver grip is too small, tightening torque may not be
achieved. To achieve the appropriate tightening torque shown in the table
above, use the following screwdriver or appropriate replacement (grip
diameter: approximately 25 mm (0.98")).
6) Terminal block fixed screw tightening torque
Tighten the screws within the range of 0.2 to 0.3 N
m.
Do not tighten terminal screws exceeding with a torque outside the
abovementioned range.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
3.2 Wiring of Thermocouple
For the terminal configuration, refer to Section 1.2
3.2.1
Selection of the thermocouple
Thermocouple type
- There are 6 types of thermocouples: K ,J, T, B, R, and S type.
- Use insulated thermocouple types.
Compensating lead wire
- When the thermocouple is extended, use compensating lead wire that is
suitable for the type.
- The influence of wiring resistance of thermocouple and compensating lead
wire is approximately -0.083
V/
..
3.2.2
Example of thermocouple wiring
3.2.3
Precautions on thermocouple wiring
Separate the cable of the resistance thermometer detector from other power
cables or areas easily affected by inductive noise (from commercial power,
etc.).
3.3 Grounding
Grounding should be performed as stated below.
The grounding resistance should be 100
or less.
Independent grounding should be performed for best results.
When independent grounding is not performed, perform "shared grounding" of
the following figure.
For the details, refer to the following manual.
MELSEC iQ-F FX5U User's Manual (Hardware)
MELSEC iQ-F FX5UC User's Manual (Hardware)
The grounding wire size should be AWG 22 to 20 (0.3 to 0.5 mm
2
).
The grounding point should be close to the PLC, and all grounding wire should
be as short as possible.
