Precautions Design a user program that ensures the safety of the user’s system, in the event of a GP display or control error, or either a data transmission error or power failure between the GP and a connected unit. These types of problems can lead to an incorrect output (signal) or malfunction, resulting in an accident.
Precautions Precautions Wiring To prevent electrical shock or equipment damage, unplug the GP unit’s power cord from the power supply prior to installing or wiring the GP. After completing any GP wiring work, be sure the terminal block’s protective plastic cover is reattached. If this cover is not reattached, an electrical shock could easily occur.
Precautions Installation Be sure all cable connectors are securely attached to the GP unit. A loose connection may cause incorrect input or output signals. Wiring Be sure to ground the GP unit’s FG wire separately from other equipment FG lines. Also, be sure to use a grounding resistance of 100.

Precautions Precautions Do not operate the GP in areas where large, sudden temperature changes can occur. These changes can cause condensation to form inside the GP, possibly causing it to malfunction. Do not allow water, liquids or metal fragments to enter inside the GP unit’s case, since they can cause either a malfunction or an electric shock.
