Caution for EC Directive
The FX3U-4AD-PNK-ADP have been found to be compliant to the European
standards in the aforesaid manual and directive. However, for the very best per-
formance from what are in fact delicate measuring and controlled output device
Mitsubishi Electric would like to make the following points;
As analog devices are sensitive by nature, their use should be considered care-
fully. For users of proprietary cables (integral with sensors or actuators), these
users should follow those manufacturers installation requirements.
Mitsubishi Electric recommend that shielded cables should be used. If NO other
EMC protection is provided, then users may experience temporary loss or
accuracy between ±10% in very heavy industrial areas.
However, Mitsubishi Electric suggest that if adequate EMC precautions are fol-
lowed for the users complete control system, users should expect accuracy as
specified in this manual.
•Sensitive analog cable should not be laid in the same trunking or cable
conduit as high voltage cabling. Where possible users should run analog
cables separately.
•Good cable shielding should be used. When terminating the shield at Earth
- ensure that no earth loops are accidentally created.
•When reading analog values, EMC accuracy can be improved out by
averaging the readings. This can be achieved either through functions on the
analog special adapters or through a users program in the FX3U(C) Series
PLC main unit.
•Attach the ferrite core input cable of each channel about FX3U-4AD-PNK-
ADP as follows.
1. Outline
FX3U-4AD-PNK-ADP (hereinafter called PNK-ADP) is an analog special adapter for
measuring temperature via four channels (2-wire or 3-wire sensors) of a connected

3.1 Applicable cable and terminal tightening torque
3.1.1 Terminal block (European type)
1) Wire size
- The power supply wire should use 22-20 AWG wire.
2) Applicable cable
3) Termination of cable end
Strip the coating of strand wire and twist the cable core before connecting it, or
strip the coating of single wire before connecting it.
An alternative connection is to use a ferrule with insulating sleeve.
*1 Old model name: CRIMPFOX ZA 3
*2 Old model name: CRIMPFOX UD 6
When using a stick terminal with insulating sleeve, choose a wire with proper
cable sheath referring to the above outside dimensions, or otherwise, the wire
cannot be inserted easily.
The tightening torque must be 0.22 to 0.25N•m. Do not tighten terminal screws
exceeding the specified torque. Failure to do so may cause equipment failures
or malfunctions.
3.2 Power Supply Wiring
For the power supply wiring, refer to the following manual.
→ FX3G/FX3U/FX3UC Series User's Manual - Analog Control Edition
WIRING
PRECAUTIONS
•Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any
damage to the machinery or accidents due to abnormal data written to the
PLC under the influence of noise:
1) Do not bundle the main circuit line together with or lay it close to the main
circuit, high-voltage line or load line.
Otherwise, noise disturbance and/or surge induction are likely to take
place. As a guideline, lay the control line at least 100mm (3.94") or more
away from the main circuit or high-voltage lines.
2) Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at one point on the
PLC. However, do not use common grounding with heavy electrical
systems.
•Make sure to properly wire to the terminal board (European type) in
accordance with the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit,
wire breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product.
- The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described
in the manual.
- Tighten to torque should follow the torque described in the manual.
- Twist the end of strand wire and make sure that there are no loose wires.
- Do not solder-plate the electric wire ends.
- Do not connect more than the specified number of wires or electric wires
of unspecified size.
- Affix the electric wires so that neither the terminal block nor the connected
parts are directly stressed.
•Make sure to properly wire to the FX3G/FX3U/FX3UC Series PLC in
accordance with the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit,
wire breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product.
- The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described
in the manual of the PLC main unit.
- Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual of the
PLC main unit.

3.3 Selection of resistance thermometer sensors
→ For the terminal layout, refer to Section 1.2
Precautions on resistance thermometer wiring
•When using a 2-wire temperature sensor type, short-circuit the [L-] terminal and the
[I-] terminal. For the lead wire use a 10Ωresistance or less per line.
•Separate the cable of the resistance thermometer sensors from the other power
cables or areas easily affected by inductive noise (of the commercial power, etc.).
Example of resistance thermometer wiring
*1 24V DC service power supply of the FX3G/FX3U Series PLC can also be used.
*2 When using a 2-wire temperature sensor type, short-circuit the [L-] terminal
and the [I-] terminal.
3.4 Grounding
Grounding should be performed as stated below.
•The grounding resistance should be 100Ωor less.
•Independent grounding should be performed for best results.
When independent grounding is not performed, perform "shared grounding" of the
following figure.
For details, refer to the following manual.
→ FX3G Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition
→ FX3U Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition
→ FX3UC Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition
•The grounding wire size should be AWG 22-20 (0.3-0.5 mm2).
•The grounding point should be close to the PLC, and all grounding wire should be
as short as possible.
