[TRANSPORTATION PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
● When transporting the PLC with the optional battery, turn on the PLC before shipment, confirm that
the battery mode is set using a parameter and the BAT LED is OFF, and check the battery life. If the
PLC is transported with the BAT LED ON or the battery exhausted, the battery-backed data may be
unstable during transportation.
● The PLC is a precision instrument. During transportation, avoid impacts larger than those specified in
the general specifications (Page 19 Generic Specifications) by using dedicated packaging boxes
and shock-absorbing palettes. Failure to do so may cause failures in the PLC. After transportation,
verify operation of the PLC and check for damage of the mounting part, etc.
● When transporting lithium batteries, follow required transportation regulations. (For details on the
regulated products, refer to Page 201 Handling of Batteries and Devices with Built-in Batteries in
EU Member States.)
● When fumigants that contain halogen materials such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine used
for disinfecting and protecting wooden packaging from insects, they cause malfunction when entering
our products. Please take necessary precautions to ensure that remaining materials from fumigant do
not enter our products, or treat packaging with methods other than fumigation (heat method).
Additionally, disinfect and protect wood from insects before packing products.
