Precautions for Correct Use
Ambient Temperature
• Install and store the product in a location that meets the following conditions:
• Surrounding temperature of 0 to +45°C (-20 to +65°C in storage)
• Relative humidity of between 35 to 85%
• Do not let the ambient temperature exceed 45°C (117°F).
• Provide a forced-air fan cooling or air conditioning if the ambient temperature is near 45°C
(117°F) so that the ambient temperature never exceeds 45°C (117° F).
Orientation of Product
• For good heat dissipation, install the product only in the position shown below so as not to
block the ventilation holes. Install the product so that the air can flow freely through its cooling
vents.
• Do not install the product in the following positions.
• For good ventilation, provide a clearance of 50 [mm] or more above the Sensor Controller
away from other devices in the normal floor mounting. For the right and left sides, provide a
clearance of 30 [mm] or more, and for the back side, 15 [mm] or more. These clearances are
also required when mounting multiple Sensor Controllers side by side. For the back mount-
ing, the back-side clearance of 15 [mm] is not required.
Ambient temperature and humidity
• Panels have been reduced in size due to space-saving and miniaturization in devices and systems,
and the temperature inside the panel may be at least 10 to 15°C higher than outside the panel. Im-
plement the following measures against overheating at the installation site and in the panel, and al-
low a sufficient margin for the temperature.
• The Controller may not start normally if the temperature is below 0°C when the power is turned ON.
Maintain an air temperature of at least approximately 5°C inside the panel, by implementing meas-
ures such as installing a low-capacity space heater in the panel. Alternatively, leave the Controller
power ON to keep the Controller warm.
• Rapid temperature changes can cause condensation to occur, resulting in malfunctioning due to
short-circuiting. When there is a possibility of this occurring, take measures against condensation,
such as leaving the Controller power ON at night or installing a heater in the control panel to keep it
warmer.
Vibration and Shock
The Controller is tested for conformity with the sine wave vibration test method (IEC 60068-2-6) and
the shock test method (IEC 60068-2-27) of the Environmental Testing for Electrotechnical Products. It
