[Design Precautions]
CAUTION
zDo not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main circuit
or power wires, or install them close to each other.
They should be installed 100 mm (3.94 inch) or more from each other.
Not doing so could result in noise that would cause erroneous operation.
[Installation Precautions]
CAUTION
zUse the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general
specifications contained in this manual.
Using this programmable controller in an environment outside the range of
the general specifications could result in electric shock, fire, erroneous
operation, and damage to or deterioration of the product.
zWhile pressing the installation lever located at the bottom of module, insert
the module fixing tab into the fixing hole in the base unit until it stops. Then,
securely mount the module with the fixing hole as a supporting point.
Incorrect loading of the module can cause a malfunction, failure or drop.
When using the programmable controller in the environment of much
vibration, tighten the module with a screw.
zTighten the screw in the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction due to damage
to the screw or module.
zBefore mounting or dismounting the module, make sure to shut off all phases
of the external power supply and FL-net (OPCN-2) system's power supply.
Failure to do so may damage the product.
zDo not directly touch the module's conductive parts or electronic
components.
Touching the conductive parts could cause an operation failure or give
damage to the module.

[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
zWhen wiring the connectors for external cable connection, crimp or clamp
the wires with a tool specified by the manufacture or solder them. An
incomplete connection could cause malfunctions.
zDo not connect AUI cables when the programmable controllers on the station
where the module is mounted and the FL-net (OPCN-2) system are powered
ON.
zInstall the connector to the module securely.
zPlace the communication and power cables to be connected to the module in
a duct or fasten them using a clamp. If not, dangling cables may swing or
inadvertently be pulled, resulting in damage to the module or cables or
malfunctions due to poor cable contact.
zTighten the terminal screws with the specified torque.
If the terminal screws are loose, it could result in short circuits, fire, or
erroneous operation.
Tightening the terminal screws too far may cause damages to the screws
and/or the module, resulting in fallout, short circuits, or malfunction.
zWhen disconnecting a communication or power cable from the module, do
not pull the cable part by hand. When disconnecting a cable with a
connector, hold the connector connected to the module by hand and pull it
out. When disconnecting a cable connected to a terminal block, loosen the
screws on the terminal block first before removing the cable. Failure to do so
may cause a malfunction or damage to the module and/or cables.
zBe sure there are no foreign substances such as sawdust or wiring debris
inside the module.
Such debris could cause fires, damage, or erroneous operation.
zThe module has an ingress prevention label on its top to prevent foreign
matter, such as wire offcuts, from entering the module during wiring.
Do not peel this label during wiring.
Before starting system operation, be sure to peel this label because of heat
dissipation.

3.1 Precautions when handling
This section explains the precautions for the FL-net module itself.
(1) The case for the FL-net module is plastic. Do not drop it or expose it to
strong impact.
(2) Before touching the module, always touch grounded metal, etc. to
discharge static electricity from human body, etc.
Not doing so can cause the module to fail or malfunction.
(3) Tighten the screws such as module fixing screws within the following
ranges.
Screw location Tightening torque
range
External power supply terminal screw (M2.5 screw) (*1) 0.40 N•m
Module fixing screw (Normally not required)
(M3 screw) (*2) 0.36 to 0.48 N•m
*1: External supply power input terminal to be used to supply power to the
transceiver for connection to 10BASE5.
*2: The module can be easily fixed onto the base unit using the hook at the top
of the module.
However, it is recommended to secure the module with the module fixing
screw if the module is subject to significant vibration.
