Concepts

• Take appropriate measures to prevent foreign objects from entering the
unit when mounting or wiring it. Failure to do so, may result in unit dam-
age, electric shock or fire.
• Use crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires
directly to terminals.
• Observe the following precautions when wiring the communication cable.
• Separate the communication cables from the power lines or high-ten-
sion lines.
• Do not bend the communication cables.
• Do not pull on the communication cables.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the communication cables.
• Be sure to wire communication cable inside ducts.
• Use appropriate communication cables.
• Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the
rated voltage and frequency is supplied in places where the power supply
is unstable. An incorrect power supply may result in malfunction.
• Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-cir-
cuits in external wiring. Insufficient safety measures against short-circuits
may result in burning.
• Double-check all the wiring and switch settings before turning ON the
power supply.
• When transporting or storing the product, cover the PCB's with electrically
conductive materials to prevent LSI's and IC's from being damaged by
static electricity, and also keep the product within the specified storage
temperature range.
• When transporting the Unit, use special packing boxes and protect it from
being exposed to excessive vibration or impacts during transportation.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify any Units.
• EMC Directives
• Low voltage directive
OMRON units complying with EC Directives also conform to related product
standards making them easier to incorporate in other units or machines. The
actual products have been checked for conformity to product standards.
Whether the products conform to the standards in the system used by the
customer, however, must be checked by the customer.
Product related performance of OMRON units complying with EC Directives
will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the
equipment or control panel in which OMRON devices are installed. The cus-
tomer must, therefore, perform final checks to confirm that units and the over-
all system conforms to product standards.
