The end user of the products must comply with any Directives that may cover
maintenance, disposal, etc. of equipment or various components. Although we
strive to provide the best assistance available, it is impossible for us to test all
possible configurations of our products with respect to any specific Directive.
Because of this, it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure that your machinery (as
a whole) complies with these Directives and to keep up with applicable Directives
and/or practices that are required for compliance.CE conformity will be impaired if
the recommended installation guidlines are not met.
Currently, the DL05, DL06, DL205, DL305, and DL405 PLC systems manufactured
by Koyo Electronics Industries, FACTS Engineering or Host Engineering, when
properly installed and used, conform to the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
and Low Voltage Directive requirements of the following standards.
Special Installation
The installation requirements to comply with the requirements of the Machinery
Manual
Directive, EMC Directive and Low Voltage Directive are slightly more complex than
the normal installation requirements found in the United States. To help with this, we
have published a special manual which you can download from our website:

Although the EMC Directive gets the most attention, other basic Directives, such as
Information
the Machinery Directive and the Low Voltage Directive, also place restrictions on the
control panel builder. Because of these additional requirements it is recommended
that the following publications be purchased and used as guidelines:
S
EMC Directive Standards Revelant to PLCs
EN50081–1
Generic immunity standard for residential, commercial,
and light industry (DL05 only at this time)
EN50081–2
Generic emission standard for industrial environment.
EN50082–1
Generic immunity standard for residential, commercial,
and light industry
EN50082–2
Generic immunity standard for industrial environment.
S
Low Voltage Directive Standards Applicable to PLCs
EN61010–1
Safety requirements for electrical equipment for
measurement, control, and laboratory use.
S
Product Specific Standard for PLCs
EN61131–2
Programmable controllers, equipment requirements and
tests. This standard replaces the above generic standards for immunity
and safety. However, the generic emissions standards must still be used
in conjunction with the following standards:
EN 61000-3-2
EN 61000-3-2
Automationdirect.com is currently in the process of changing their
testing procedures from the generic standards to the product specific
standard, so that all new products will be tested to standard
EN61131–2. Check our catalog or website for updated information.
