 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 
(Always read these precautions prior to use.)
Before using this product, please read this manual carefully and pay full attention to safety to ensure that
the product is used correctly.
The precautions presented in this manual are concerned with this product only. For Programmable
Controller system safety precautions, refer to the user's manual of the MELSEC-L series CPU module to
be used.
In this manual, the safety precautions are ranked as "WARNING" and "CAUTION."
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
WARNING
resulting in death or severe injury.
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
CAUTION
resulting in medium or minor injury and/or property damage.
Note that failure to observe the CAUTION level instructions may lead to a serious consequence
according to the circumstances. Always follow the precautions of both levels because they are important
to personal safety.
Please keep this manual in an easy-to-access location for future reference, and be sure to provide the
manual to the end user.
[Precautions before using]
CAUTION
 When making a switch from the MELSEC-AnS Series to the MELSEC-L Series, be sure to
consult user's manual supplied with individual module under the MELSEC-L Series to confirm
differences in various aspects including performance, function, CPU input/output signals and
buffer memory addresses between the two series.
[Installation Precautions]
CAUTION
 Use the Conversion Adapter in the environmental conditions that are specified in the general
specification. If the Products are used in any environment beyond the bounds of the general
specification, electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or degradation of the Products will
result.
 Do not directly touch any conductive parts of Conversion Adapter. Contact will cause
malfunction or failure in the system.
 Fasten the Conversion Adapter and the Mounting Bracket securely with retaining screws, and
tighten the screws by applying torque within specified limits. Loose screws can lead to the
dropping of the Conversion Adapter or Mounting Bracket, possibly causing breakage thereof.
Excessive tightness of the screws can lead to breakage of the screws, Conversion Adapter,
Mounting Bracket, or MELSEC-L Series Module, possibly causing the dropping, shorting, and
malfunction thereof.
 Always check for correct match between MELSEC-L Series and the Conversion Adapter.
Incorrect match can cause damage to the MELSEC-L Series Module.
 When installing the Conversion Adapter, take care not to get your hand snagged on the
Mounting Bracket or the like. Injury may result.
 When installing or removing the MELSEC-L Series Module complete with a Converter
Adapter, be sure to hold it with both hands. Dropping may lead to breakage.
[Wiring Precautions]
WARNING
Before attempting to install the Unit or carry out the necessary wiring, make certain that the

external power supply, used in the system, is shut off on all three phases. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock or damage to the product .
 After installation and wiring, close the terminal block cover before turning on the module for
operation. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
Carry out wiring for the Conversion Adapter correctly after checking the specification and

terminal arrangement for the module used. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage
rating or incorrect wiring may cause a fire or failure.
 Tighten the MELSEC-AnS Series terminal installation screws and terminal screw securely by
applying torque within the specified limits. Loose screws will cause short circuit, fire or
malfunction. Excessive tightening will damage the screws or the Conversion Adapter which in
turn will cause dropping of parts, short circuit or malfunction.
 Use care to prevent foreign materials including cuttings and wiring debris from entering the
Conversion Adapter or the MELSEC-L Series Module. These will be cause for fire, failure or
malfunction.
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
WARNING
Do not touch live terminals. There is a danger of electric shock or malfunction.

 Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before cleaning or
retightening the terminal screws. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the
MELSEC-L Series module to fail or malfunction. Loose screws can lead to dropping,
shorting, and malfunction. Excessive tightness of the screws can lead to breakage of the
screws, Conversion Adapter, Mounting Bracket, or MELSEC-L Series Module, possibly
causing the dropping, shorting, and malfunction thereof.
CAUTION
 Do not modify the Conversion Adapter or take it apart. Doing so will cause failure,
malfunction, personal injury, or fire.
 Do not drop the Conversion Adapter and Mounting Bracket or do not give a strong impact
to it. This will cause damage.
[Disposal Precautions]
CAUTION
When disposing of the product, treat it as industrial waste.

EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVES
Compliance to the EMC Directive, which is one of the EU Directives, has been a legal obligation
for the products sold in European countries since 1996 as well as the Low Voltage Directive
since 1997.
Manufacturers who recognize their products are compliant to the EMC and Low Voltage
Directives are required to declare that print a "CE mark" on their products.

1．Overview
This manual describes specifications, handling and other information about the Conversion Adapter
"ERNT-ASLTX40, ERNT-ASLTX80" available as Renewal Tools for the Mitsubishi Electric
Programmable Controller.
The Conversion Adapter is a product for effecting conversion to transcend difference in pin
assignment between the MELSEC-AnS Series and the MELSEC-L Series.
Before attempting to make a switch from MELSEC-AnS Series to MELSEC-L Series in your
installation, consult the user's manual supplied with individual module under the latter series to learn
about how they differ in various aspects including performance and function.
Once you have opened the packaging, verify that it contains the following products.

*1：Do not use or store under pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure of altitude 0m.
*2：This indicates the section of the power supply to which the equipment is assumed to be connected between the
public electrical power distribution network and the machinery within premises.
Category II applies to equipment for which electrical power is supplied from fixed facilities.
*3：This index indicates the degree to which conductive material is generated in terms of the environment in which
the equipment is used.
Pollution level 2 is when only non-conductive pollution occurs. A temporary conductivity caused by condensing
must be expected occasionally.
3．Product Specifications
For detail specifications which do not appear in the specification comparison charts contained herein,
see the user's manual supplied with the MELSEC-L Series module you use. Those parts of the
specification that differ between the MELSEC-AnS Series and the MELSEC-L Series are where a switch
from the first series to the second is subjected to specification-related restrictions. Check the
specification of the devices to be connected for more details.
Furthermore, it is recommended to refer to the "Transition from MELSEC-AnS/QnAS (Small Type)
Series to L Series Handbook (Fundamentals): L (NA)-08258ENG" issued by Mitsubishi Electric.
