•
Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-circuit-
ing in external wiring. Insufficient safety measures against short-circuiting may
result in burning.
•
Do not apply voltages to the Input Units in excess of the rated input voltage.
Excess voltages may result in burning.
•
Do not apply voltages or connect loads to the Output Units in excess of the
maximum switching capacity. Excess voltage or loads may result in burning.
•
Disconnect the functional ground terminal when performing withstand voltage
tests. Not disconnecting the functional ground terminal may result in burning.
•
Install and wire the Unit properly as specified in the manual. Improper installa-
tion of the Unit may result in malfunction.
•
Be sure that all the mounting screws, terminal screws, and cable connector
screws are tightened to the torque specified in the relevant manuals. Incorrect
tightening torque may result in malfunction.
•
Leave the label attached to the Unit when wiring. Removing the label may
result in malfunction.
•
Remove the label after the completion of wiring to ensure proper heat dissipa-
tion. Leaving the label attached may result in malfunction.
•
Use crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires directly to
terminals. Connection of bare stranded wires may result in burning.
•
Double-check all the wiring before turning ON the power supply. Incorrect wir-
ing may result in burning.
•
Mount the Unit only after checking the terminal block completely.
•
Be sure that the terminal blocks, Memory Units, expansion cables, and other
items with locking devices are properly locked into place. Improper locking
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 an unexpected operation.
•
Confirm that no adverse effect will occur in the system before attempting any of
the following. Not doing so may result in an unexpected operation.
•
Changing the operating mode of the PC.
•
Force-setting/force-resetting any bit in memory.
•
Changing the present value of any word or any set value in memory.
•
Do not pull on the cables or bend the cables beyond their natural limit. Doing
either of these may break the cables.
•
When replacing parts, be sure to confirm that the rating of a new part is correct.
Not doing so may result in malfunction or burning.
•
Before touching a Unit, be sure to first touch a grounded metallic object in order
to discharge any static built-up. Not doing so may result in malfunction or dam-
age.

Conformance to EC Directives
The CQM1 PCs comply with EC Directives. To ensure that the machine or
device in which a CQM1 PC is used complies with EC Directives, the PC must be
installed as follows:
1, 2, 3...
1. The PC must be installed within a control panel.
2. Reinforced insulation or double insulation must be used for the DC power
supplies used for the communications and I/O power supplies.
3. PCs complying with EC Directives also conform to the Common Emission
Standard (EN50081-2). When a PC is built into a machine, however, noise
can be generated by switching devices using relay outputs and cause the
