SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 
(Always read these precautions prior to use.)
Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in 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 master module used.
In this manual, the safety precautions are ranked as “WARNING” and “CAUTION.”
WARNING Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous
conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.
CAUTION Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous
conditions, 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 deliver the
manual to the end user.
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING
If a data link communication error occurs, the data of the master module will be retained. Using
the communication status information, configure an interlock circuit in the sequence program to
ensure that the system will operate safely.
Any of the remote I/O signals marked "Use prohibited" are used by the system. Do not use these
signals. In the unlikely event such a signal is used (ON/OFF), the function of the module cannot
be guaranteed.

A - 2 A - 2
CAUTION
When installing the RFID interface module and amplifier/antenna cables, do not bundle the
cables with or install the cables close to the main circuit, power lines, or the like. Be sure to
separate the cables and lines by about 100mm or more. Failure to do so will cause noise,
resulting in malfunction.
When storing the product, be sure to observe the defined storage ambient temperature and
humidity. Failure to do so will lead to module malfunction and failure.
Look the control panel so that only those who are trained and have acquired enough knowledge
of electric facilities can open control panel.
Install the emergency stop switch outside the control panel so that workers can operate it easily.
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
Use the module in an environment that reflects the general specifications stated in the manual.
Using the module in an environment out of the general specification range results in the risk of
electric shock, fire, malfunction, and product damage or deterioration.
Fully secure the module using a DIN rail or installation screws, and fully tighten the screws within
the specified torque range. If a screw is too loose, a dropped module, short circuit, or malfunction
may result. If a screw is too tight, screw and/or module damage may occur, resulting in a
dropped module, short circuit, or malfunction.
Do not directly touch a powered section of the module. Doing so results in the risk of module
malfunction and failure.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before performing
work such as wiring. Failure to do so results in the risk of product damage, and malfunction.
CAUTION
Be sure to ground the FG terminal using programmable controller dedicated class D (type 3)
grounding or greater. Failure to do so results in the risk of electric shock and malfunction.
Be sure to tighten any open terminal screws within the specified torque range. Failure to do so
causes a short circuit.
Use the appropriate crimp terminals, and tighten the terminals to the specified torque. If a crimp
terminal with an open end is used, the terminal screw will fall off if loose, causing failure.

A - 3 A - 3
CAUTION
Fully mount the antenna cable to the module connector. After mounting, check for separation.
Insufficient contact results in the risk of erroneous input and output.
Be sure to place the communication cables and power cables connected to the module in a duct,
or secure them with clamps. Failure to do so results in the risk of cable movement and drift, module
or cable damage caused by careless pulling, and malfunction caused by insufficient cable contact.
When connecting a cable, first verify the connection interface type and then connect the cable
properly. Connecting a cable to a wrong interface or miswiring a cable results in the risk of
module and external device malfunction.
Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. If a screw is too loose, a short circuit or
malfunction may result. If a screw is too tight, screw and/or module damage may occur, resulting
in a short circuit or malfunction.
When removing a communication cable or power cable connected to the module, do not pull the
cable section. For cables with connectors, hold the connector of the section connected to the
module during removal. For terminal block cables, loosen the screws of the terminal block and
then remove the cable. Pulling a cable while it is connected to the module results in the risk of
module and cable damage as well as malfunction due to a poor cable connection.
Do not insert or remove an antenna cable with the power ON. Doing so results in the risk of failure.
Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter
may cause fire, failure, or malfunction.
Do not bunch the control wires and communication cables with the main circuit, power lines, or
the like, or install them close to each other. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.
Do not invert the external power supply polarities +24V and 24G. The RFID interface module will
not operate.
[STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING
Do not touch the terminals while the module is powered. Doing so results in the risk of malfunction.
CAUTION
Do not disassemble or modify the module. Doing so results in the risk of failure, malfunction,
injury, and fire.
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before module
installation to or removal from the panel. Failure to do so results in the risk of module failure and
malfunction.

A - 4 A - 4
CAUTION
After product use begins, be sure the number of times the terminal block is installed and removed
does not exceed 50 (JIS B 3502 compliant). Exceeding 50 results in the risk of malfunction.
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used in the system before cleaning or
tightening terminal screws or module screws. Failure to do so results in the risk of module failure
and malfunction. If a screw is too loose, a dropped module, short circuit, or malfunction may
result. If a screw is too tight, screw and/or module damage may occur, resulting in a dropped
module, short circuit, or malfunction.
The module case is made of plastic. Do not drop the case or expose the case to strong impact.
Doing so results in the risk of module damage.
Before touching the module, be sure to touch grounded metal or the like to release the static
electricity from your body. Failure to do so results in the risk of module failure or malfunction.
When cleaning, do not use thinner, benzene, acetone, or kerosene. Doing so results in the risk of
module damage.
Do not insert water or wire through the gaps in the case. Doing so results in the risk of fire or
electric shock.
This product cannot be used as a detector for physical protection. Erroneous output or
malfunction may result in an accident.
When installing or removing the antenna from the amplifier, first turn OFF the module power
supply. Failure to do so results in the risk of module failure and malfunction.
Installation of multiple antennas may result in a decrease in communication performance due to
mutual interference. Refer to the description of mutual interference between antennas in the
antenna user’s manual.
In the unlikely event that you feel something is wrong with the product, stop using the product
immediately, turn OFF the power supply, and consult with your local Mitsubishi service center or
representative. Continued use as is results in the risk of module failure and malfunction.
Do not use the product in locations where chemical products and oil are scattered. Doing so
results in the risk of module failure and malfunction.
When using the product, be sure to observe the defined ambient temperature and humidity.
Failure to do so results in the risk of module failure and malfunction.
Do not touch any connectors when the module is powered. Doing so results in the risk of module
malfunction caused by the static electricity in your body.
[DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS]
