quency is supplied. Be particularly careful in places where the power supply is unstable. An incor-
rect power supply may result in malfunction.
• Always turn OFF the power supply to the PLC, Slave Units and other Units before attempting any
of the following. Not turning OFF the power supply may result in malfunction or electric shock.

static build-up. Not doing so may result in malfunction or damage.
• Make sure that the terminal blocks, communications cables, and other items with locking devices
are properly locked into place. Improver locking may result in malfunction.
• Mount the Units securely using DIN track.
• Make sure that all Slave Unit mounting screws, cable connector screws, and switch cover screws
are tightened to the torque specified in this manuals. Incorrect tightening torque may result in mal-
function.
• Make sure that all terminal block screws are tightened to the torque specified in this manuals.
Incorrect tightening torque may result in fire, malfunction, or failure.
• Always use the specified communications cables and connectors.
• Do not exceed the ranges that are given in the specifications for the communications distance and
number of connected Units.
• When there are multiple systems, keep the cables unbundled and separated by at least 5 mm to
prevent unstable operation due to interference.
 Wiring
• Turn the power on after checking that the wiring and switch settings are correct.
• Use the correct wire tools to wire the Unit.
• Confirm the polarity of all terminals before wiring them.
• Do not allow foreign matter to enter the Units when wiring and installing the Units.
• Observe the following precautions when wiring the communications cable.
• Separate the communications cables from the power lines or high-tension lines.
• Do not bend the communications cables past their natural bending radius.
• Do not pull on the communications cables.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the communications cables.
• Always lay communications cable inside ducts.
• Connect both ends of communications cable shielded wires to the connector hoods.
• Turn OFF the power of PLC and all the Slave Units before wiring the communication cables.
