PRECAUTIONS This section provides general precautions for using the Universal Input Units. The information contained in this section is important for the safe and reliable application of the Universal Input Unit. You must read this section and understand the information contained before attempting to set up or operate a Universal Input Unit.
Page 15
It is extremely important that a PLC and all PLC Units be used for the speci- fied purpose and under the specified conditions, especially in applications that can directly or indirectly affect human life. You must consult with your OMRON representative before applying a PLC System to the above-mentioned appli- cations.
Page 16
Operating Environment Precautions measure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the system. • When the 24-VDC output (service power supply to the PLC) is overloaded or short-circuited, the voltage may drop and result in the outputs being turned OFF.
Page 17
Application Precautions Application Precautions Observe the following precautions when using the PLC. !WARNING Always heed these precautions. Failure to abide by the following precautions could lead to serious or possibly fatal injury. • Always connect to a class-3 ground (to 100 Ω or less) when installing the Units.
Page 18
Application Precautions • Use crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires directly to terminals. Connection of bare stranded wires may result in burning. • Do not pull on cables and cords and do not bend them past their natural bending radius.
