■INSTRUCTION MANUAL
This manual describes necessary points of caution when
you use this product, including installation, connection and
basic maintenance procedures.
POINTS OF CAUTION
■CONFORMITY WITH EU DIRECTIVES
• The equipment must be mounted inside the instrument
panel of a metal enclosure.
• The actual installation environments such as panel con-
figurations, connected devices, connected wires, may af-
fect the protection level of this unit when it is integrated
in a panel system. The user may have to review the CE
requirements in regard to the whole system and employ
additional protective measures to ensure the CE conform-
ity.
■HOT SWAPPABLE MODULES
• Replacing the module does not affect other modules on
the same base. Thus, the module can be replaced while
the power is ON. However, replacing multiple modules
at once may greatly change live voltage levels. We highly
recommend to replace them one by one.
■GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• DO NOT set the switches on the module while the power
is supplied. The switches are used only for maintenance
without the power.
■ENVIRONMENT
• Indoor use.
• When heavy dust or metal particles are present in the
air, install the unit inside proper housing with sufficient
ventilation.
• Do not install the unit where it is subjected to continuous
vibration. Do not subject the unit to physical impact.
• Environmental temperature must be within -10 to +55°C
(14 to 131°F) with relative humidity within 30 to 90% RH
in order to ensure adequate life span and operation.
■WIRING
• Do not install cables close to noise sources (relay drive
cable, high frequency line, etc.).
• Do not bind these cables together with those in which
noises are present. Do not install them in the same duct.
■UNUSED INPUT CHANNELS
• Set the unused channels to -20 – +20mA or 0 – 20mA
range. Otherwise, set them as “Unused” with PC Con-
figurator software: R3CON. Unused channels left open
with 4 – 20mA setting are equal to the input lower than
-15%, which sets a data abnormality at the PLC or the
host device.
■AND ....
• The unit is designed to function as soon as power is sup-
plied, however, a warm up for 10 minutes is required for
satisfying complete performance described in the data
sheet.
INSTALLATION
Use the Installation Base (model: R3-BSx).
