[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
CAUTION
● The online operations performed from a PC to a running safety programmable controller (Program
change when a safety CPU module is RUN, device test, and operating status change such as
RUNSTOP switching) have to be executed after the manual has been carefully read and the safety
has been ensured. Following the operating procedure predetermined at designing, the operation has
to be performed by an instructed person. When changing a program while a safety CPU module is
RUN (Write during RUN), it may cause a program breakdown in some operating conditions. Fully
understand the precautions described in the GX Works3 Operating Manual before use.
● Do not disassemble or modify the module. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
● Use any radio communication device such as a cellular phone or PHS (Personal Handy-phone
System) more than 25cm away in all directions from the module. Failure to do so may cause
malfunction.
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used with the safety programmable controller before
mounting or removing the module. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
● Restrict the mounting/removal of a module, base unit, and terminal block up to 50 times (IEC 61131-2
compliant), after the first use of the product. Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.
● Do not drop or apply shock to the battery to be installed in the module. Doing so may damage the
battery, causing the battery fluid to leak inside the battery. If the battery is dropped or any shock is
applied to it, dispose of it without using.
● Before handling the module, touch a conducting object such as a grounded metal to discharge the
static electricity from the human body. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
● Since the module case is made of resin, do not drop or apply any strong impact to the module. Doing
so may damage the module.
● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a
module. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
[Disposal Precautions]
CAUTION
● When disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste.
● When disposing of batteries, separate them from other wastes according to the local regulations. For
details on battery regulations in EU member states, refer to the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration
Manual.
[Transportation Precautions]
CAUTION
● When transporting lithium batteries, follow the transportation regulations. For details on the regulated
models, refer to the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration Manual.
● The halogens (such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine), which are contained in a fumigant
used for disinfection and pest control of wood packaging materials, may cause failure of the product.
Prevent the entry of fumigant residues into the product or consider other methods (such as heat
treatment) instead of fumigation. The disinfection and pest control measures must be applied to
unprocessed raw wood.
