Installation Location

Use the PLC under the environmental conditions complying with the generic specifications (Page 30 Generic
Specifications).

Installation location in enclosure

To prevent temperature rise, do not mount the PLC on the floor or ceiling, or in the vertical direction. Always mount the PLC
horizontally on the wall as shown in the following figure.

Spaces in enclosure

Extension devices can be connected on the left and right sides of the CPU module of the PLC. Keep a space of at least 50
mm between the module main body and other devices and structure.
Also, separate the PLC from high-voltage lines, high-voltage devices, and power devices when possible. Failure to do so may
cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.
If you intend to add extension devices, keep necessary spaces on the left and right sides.
