DANGER
CAUTION
zSAFETY PRECAUTIONS z
(Read these precautions before using.)
When using Mitsubishi equipment, thoroughly read this manual and the
associated manuals introduced in the manual. Also pay careful attention to
safety and handle the module properly.
These precautions apply only to Mitsubishi equipment. Refer to the user’s
manual of the CPU module to use for a description of the PLC system safety
precautions.
These "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" classify the safety precautions into two
categories: "DANGER" and "CAUTION".
Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and
cause death or serious injury, if not carried out properly.
Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and
cause superficial to medium injury, or physical damage
only, if not carried out properly.
Depending on circumstances, procedures indicated by CAUTION may also
be linked to serious results.
In any case, it is important to follow the directions for usage.
Store this manual in a safe place so that you can take it out and read it
whenever necessary. Always forward it to the end user.
[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 may cause malfunction.
zAt power ON/OFF, voltage or current may instantaneously be output from
the output terminal of this module. In such case, wait until the analog
output becomes stable to start controlling the external device.

A-2
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
zUse the PLC in an environment that meets the general specifications given
in the User's Manual of the CPU module being used.
Using this PLC in an environment outside the range of the general
specifications may cause electric shock, fire, malfunction, and damage to
or deterioration of the product.
zWhen installing the module, securely insert the module fixing tabs into the
mounting holes of the base unit while pressing the installation lever located
a t the bottom of the module downward.
Improper installation may result in malfunction , breakdown or the module
coming loose and dropping.
Securely fix the module with screws if it is subject to vibration during use.
zTighten the screws within the range of specified torque.
If the screws are loose, it may cause the module to fallout, short circuits, or
malfunction.
If the screws are tightened too much, it may cause damage to the screw
and/or the module, resulting in fallout, short circuits or malfunction.
zBe sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the
system before mounting or removing the module.
Not doing so may cause damage to the module.
zDo not directly touch the conductive area or electronic components of the
module.
Doing so may cause malfunction or failure in the module.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
zAlways ground the FG terminal for the PLC.
There is a risk of electric shock or malfunction.
zWhen turning on the power and operating the module after wiring is
completed, always attach the terminal cover that comes with the product.
There is a risk of electric shock if the terminal cover is not attached.
zTighten the terminal screws within the range of specified torque.
If the terminal screws are loose, it may result in short circuits or
malfunction.
If the terminal screws are tightened too much, it may cause damage to the
screw and/or the module, resulting in short circuits or malfunction.
zBe careful not to let foreign matters such as sawdust or wire chips get
inside the module.
These may cause fires, failure or malfunction.
zThe top surface of the module is covered with protective film to prevent
foreign objects such as cable offcuts from entering the module when wiring.
Do not remove this film until the wiring is complete.
Before operating the system, be sure to remove the film to provide
adequate heat ventilation.

Conformance to the EMC Directive/Low Voltage Directive
When incorporating the Mitsubishi PLC into other machinery or equipment and
keeping compliance with the EMC and low voltage directives, refer to Chapter
3, "EMC Directives and Low Voltage Directives" of the User's Manual
(Hardware) included with the CPU module or base unit used.
The CE logo is printed on the rating plate on the main body of the PLC that
conforms to the EMC directive and low voltage instruction.
By making this product conform to the EMC directive and low voltage
instruction, it is not necessary to make those steps individually.
