[Design Precautions]
WARNING
●Configure safety circuits external to the product to ensure that the entire system operates safely even
when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the product. Failure to do so may result in an
accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
(1) Emergency stop circuits, protection circuits, and protective interlock circuits for conflicting
operations (such as forward/reverse rotations or upper/lower limit positioning) must be configured
external to the product.
(2) When the product detects an abnormal condition, it stops the operation and all outputs are:
• Turned off if the overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is activated.
• Held or turned off according to the parameter setting if the self-diagnostic function of the
product detects an error such as a watchdog timer error.
●Configure a circuit so that the product is turned on first and then the external power supply. If the
external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect output or
malfunction.
●For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to manuals relevant to the
network. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an accident.
●Before performing operations for the product from the peripheral connected, read the relevant
manuals carefully and ensure the safety.

[Design Precautions]
[Installation Precautions]
CAUTION
●Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100 mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
●When selecting fuses and breakers for external circuits, consider the specification values of fusing/
detection characteristics and inrush current.
●When using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), do not use the one that outputs square waves.
CAUTION
●Use the product in an environment that meets the general specifications described in MELIPC MI5000

damage to or deterioration of the product.
●To mount a power supply module, place the concave parts located at the bottom onto the guides of
the main module, and push in the power supply module until the hooks located at the top snaps into
place. Incorrect interconnection may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the module.
●When using the product in an environment of frequent vibrations, fix the power supply module with a
screw.
●Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop of the screw,
short circuit, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop,
short circuit, or malfunction.
●To connect a fan module, set the fan module at the correct position of the main module, and push in
the fan module until the fan module fixing hook snaps into place. Check that the fan module fixing
hook is fixed to the main module securely. If the fan module is not connected properly, the fan may not
rotate or it may cause malfunction due to rise in temperature of the main module.
●To disconnect a fan module, securely press the fan module fixing hook with your finger. Then, pull the
module forward while pressing the hook.
●Do not touch the exposed heatsink after removing the fan module. The heatsink is very hot
immediately after the power is switched off and may cause burns. Additionally, touching the heat sink
may deform it and decrease cooling efficiency.
●Do not apply shock such as falling and dropping to the fan module during transportation. Doing so
may result in damage to the product or deterioration in performance.
●When using a CFast card, fully insert it into the CFast card slot. Check that it is inserted completely.
Poor contact may cause malfunction.
●Place hands to hold a CFast card when removing it from the slot because the card may be jumped
out. If not placing hands, the card may fall, resulting in damage or failure.
●Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module or CFast card.
Doing so can cause malfunction or failure of the module.
●Do not remove the protective sheets attached to the plate of the base part. The plate of the base part
also acts as a heat sink and may be very hot during operation. To prevent a burn, do not remove these
sheets or touch them during operation or immediately after the power supply is switched off.

WARNING
●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before installation and wiring.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
●After installation and wiring, close the terminal cover before turning it on for operation. Failure to do so
may result in electric shock.
CAUTION
●Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the product with a ground resistance of 100 ohms or
less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
●Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade
solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when the terminal screw comes loose, resulting in
failure.
●Check the rated voltage and signal layout before wiring to the power supply module, and connect the
cables correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect wiring may
cause fire or failure.
●Solderless terminals must be crimped with the tool specified by the manufacturer. Incomplete
crimping may cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
●Securely connect the connector of an external device to the product. Poor contact may cause
malfunction.
●Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100 mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
●Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. (Cable ties made of nylon can be used as well.) If not,
dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled, resulting in damage to the module or cables or
malfunction due to poor contact.
●Check the interface type and correctly connect the cable. Incorrect wiring (connecting the cable to an
incorrect interface) may cause failure of the module and external device.
●Tighten the terminal screws or connector screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening
can cause drop of the screw, short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw
