Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals
introduced in this manual carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the
product correctly.
The instructions given in this manual are concerned with this product. For the safety
instructions of the programmable controller system, please read the CPU module
user's manual.
In this manual, the safety instructions are ranked as "DANGER" and "CAUTION".
DANGER
Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and
cause death or serious injury if not carried out properly.
CAUTION
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.
[Precautions Regarding Assembly]
DANGER
l
When connecting the connection cable to the Numeric Keypad Panel, always
switch off GOT power externally in all phases.
A failure to do so can cause misoperation due to miss-input.

A-2
[Precautions Regarding Assembly]
CAUTION
l
Use the Numeric Keypad Panel in the environment defined in the general
specifications given in the GOT user's manual.
Using it in other environment can cause an electric shock, fire, misoperation,
or product damage or deterioration.
l
When plugging the connection cable, insert it into the Numeric Keypad Panel
connector until it "clicks".
After plugging, check that the cable is inserted far enough.
Otherwise, mis-input can occur due to a contact fault.
l
Plug the connection cable into the connector of the external I/O module and
tighten the connector fixing screws within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause mis-input due to a contact fault.
Overtightening can cause mis-input due to damaged screws or external
I/O module or a contact fault.
l
When installing the Numeric Keypad Panel to a control box, mount or the like,
tighten the fixing screws within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a drop.
Overtightening can cause a drop due to damaged screws or Numeric Keypad
Panel.
[Precautions Regarding Wiring]
DANGER
l
Before starting wiring work, always switch power off externally in all phases.
A failure to do so can cause an electric shock, product damage or misoperation.
CAUTION
l
The FG wire of the connection cable and the FG terminal of the GOT's power
supply terminal block must be connected to ground separately using a class
3 or higher grounding method.
Otherwise, misoperation can occur.

A-3
[Precaution Regarding Startup and Maintenance]
CAUTION
l
Do not disassemble or modify the Numeric Keypad Panel.
This can cause a failure, misoperation, injury or fire.
l
The Numeric Keypad Panel case is made of resin.Do not drop it or give it hard
impact. This can cause the product to be damaged or fail.
l
Always secure the connection cable connected to the Numeric Keypad Panel
and the power wires drawn from the connection cable, e.g. run them in conduits
or clamp them.
Otherwise, the Numeric Keypad Panel or cable can be damaged due to dangling,
moved or accidentally pulled cable or misoperation can occur due to improper
cable connection.
l
Do not hold and pull the cable part when unplugging the connection cable
connected to the Numeric Keypad Panel or the power wires drawn from the
connection cable.
When the cable is fitted with a connector, hold the connector of the cable part
connected to the Numeric Keypad Panel.
If you pull the cable connected to the Numeric Keypad Panel, the Numeric
Keypad Panel or cable can be damaged or misoperation can occur due to a
contact fault.
[Precautions Regarding Product Disposal ]
CAUTION
l
When disposing of the product, handle it as industrial waste.
