Precautions Before Using Fp-E Unit - Panasonic AFPE224300 User Manual

Precautions before using FP-e unit

Installation environment
Do not use the FP-e Control Unit in the places where it will be exposed to the followings:
- Direct sunlight and ambient temperature outside the range of 0ºC to 55ºC (32°F to 131°F).
- Ambient humidity outside the range of 30% to 85% RH(at 25ºC) and sudden temperature changes
causing condensation.
- Inflammable or corrosive gas.
- Excessive vibration or shock.
- Excessive airborne dust, metal particles or salts.
- Water or oil in any from including spray or mist.
- Benzine, paint thinner, alcohol or other organic solvents or strong alkaline solutions such as ammonia
or caustic soda.
- Influence from power transmission lines, high voltage equipment, power cables, power equipment,
radio transmitters, or any other equipment that would generate high switching surges.
Static electricity
- Before touching the unit, always touch a grounded piece of metal in order to discharge static electricity.
- In dry locations, excessive static electricity can cause problems.
Cleaning
- Do not use thinner based cleaners because they deform the unit case and fade the colors.
Power supply
- An insulated power supply with an internal protective circuit should be used. The power supply for the
control unit operation is a non-insulated circuit.
- If using a power supply without a protective circuit, power should be supplied through a protective
element such as a fuse.
- If an incorrect voltage is directly applied, the internal circuit may be damaged or destroyed.
Power supply sequence
- Have the power supply sequence such that the power supply of the control unit turns off before the
power supply for input and output turns off.
- If the power supply for input and output is turned off before the power supply of the
control unit turns off, the control unit will detect the input fluctuations and may begin an unscheduled
operation.
Before turning on the power
When turning on the power for the first time, be sure to take the precautions as shown below.
- When performing installation, confirm that there are no scraps of wiring, particularly conductive
fragments, adhering to the unit.
- Confirm that the power supply wiring, I/O wiring, and power supply voltage are all correct.
- Sufficiently tighten the installation screws and terminal screws.
- Set the RUN/PROG. switch to PROG. mode.
Before entering a program
Be sure to perform a program clear operation before entering a program.

Storing a program
To prevent the accidental loss of programs, users are requested to take the following measures.
Drafting documents
To avoid accidentally losing programs, destroying files, or overwriting the contents of a file,
documents should be printed out and then saved.
Specifying the password carefully
The passward setting is designed to avoid programs being accidentally overwritten. If the password is
forgotten, however, it will be impossible to overwrite the program even if you want to. Also, if a
passward is forcibly cleared, the program is deleted. When spesifying the passward, note it in the
spcifications or in another safe locaton in case it is forgotten at some point.
Battery
Do not install the battery when it is not used.
There is a possibility of leak if the battery remains discharged.
