originally shipped with Buyer responsible for labor charges for removal or
replacement thereof) the non-complying Product, (ii) repair the non-complying
Product, or (iii) repay or credit Buyer an amount equal to the purchase price of
the non-complying Product; provided that in no event shall Omron be responsi-
ble for warranty, repair, indemnity or any other claims or expenses regarding
the Products unless Omron’s analysis confirms that the Products were prop-
erly handled, stored, installed and maintained and not subject to contamina-
tion, abuse, misuse or inappropriate modification. Return of any Products by
Buyer must be approved in writing by Omron before shipment. Omron Compa-
nies shall not be liable for the suitability or unsuitability or the results from the

herein, “including” means “including without limitation”; and “Omron Compa-
nies” (or similar words) mean Omron Corporation and any direct or indirect
subsidiary or affiliate thereof.
Certain Precautions on Specifications and Use
1. Suitability of Use. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for conformity
with any standards, codes or regulations which apply to the combination of the
Product in the Buyer’s application or use of the Product. At Buyer’s request,
Omron will provide applicable third party certification documents identifying
ratings and limitations of use which apply to the Product. This information by
itself is not sufficient for a complete determination of the suitability of the Prod-
uct in combination with the end product, machine, system, or other application
or use. Buyer shall be solely responsible for determining appropriateness of
the particular Product with respect to Buyer’s application, product or system.
Buyer shall take application responsibility in all cases but the following is a
non-exhaustive list of applications for which particular attention must be given:
(i) Outdoor use, uses involving potential chemical contamination or electrical
interference, or conditions or uses not described in this document.
(ii) Use in consumer products or any use in significant quantities.
(iii) Energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation
systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, vehicles, safety equip-
ment, and installations subject to separate industry or government regulations.
(iv) Systems, machines and equipment that could present a risk to life or prop-
erty. Please know and observe all prohibitions of use applicable to this Prod-
uct.
NEVER USE THE PRODUCT FOR AN APPLICATION INVOLVING SERIOUS
RISK TO LIFE OR PROPERTY OR IN LARGE QUANTITIES WITHOUT
ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO
ADDRESS THE RISKS, AND THAT THE OMRON’S PRODUCT IS PROP-
ERLY RATED AND INSTALLED FOR THE INTENDED USE WITHIN THE
OVERALL EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM.
2. Programmable Products. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for the
user’s programming of a programmable Product, or any consequence thereof.
3. Performance Data. Data presented in Omron Company websites, catalogs
and other materials is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitabil-
ity and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the result of Omron’s
test conditions, and the user must correlate it to actual application require-
ments. Actual performance is subject to the Omron’s Warranty and Limitations
of Liability.
4. Change in Specifications. Product specifications and accessories may be
changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons. It is our prac-
tice to change part numbers when published ratings or features are changed,
or when significant construction changes are made. However, some specifica-
tions of the Product may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, spe-
cial part numbers may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for
your application. Please consult with your Omron’s representative at any time
to confirm actual specifications of purchased Product.
5. Errors and Omissions. Information presented by Omron Companies has been
checked and is believed to be accurate; however, no responsibility is assumed
for clerical, typographical or proofreading errors or omissions.

1PRECAUTIONS
xii
1 Safety Precautions
Caution Do not touch fluorescent or halogen lights while
the power is ON or immediately after the power is
turned OFF. These lights generate heat and can
cause burns.
Caution Cover the terminal blocks with the Terminal Block
Protection Covers.
Caution Use DC power supplies with safe extra low-volt-
age circuits on the secondary side for the main
F150 power supply and power supplies for the
terminal blocks.
Caution Do not use the F150 in environments with flam-
mable or explosive gases.
Caution Install the F150 away from high-voltage equip-
ment or motors to ensure safety during operation
and maintenance.
Caution Use the power supply cables and crimp terminals
of specified sizes.
Caution Use at the power supply voltages specified in this
manual.
Caution Be sure to securely tighten the screws when
mounting F150 components.
Caution Do not dismantle, repair or modify any F150 com-
ponents.
Caution Dispose of F150 components as industrial waste.

2PRECAUTIONS
xiii
Caution To prevent damage from static electricity, use a
wrist strap or another device for preventing elec-
trostatic charges when touching terminals or con-
nector signal lines.
Caution Do not turn OFF the power while a message is
being displayed indicating that processing is
being performed. Data in memory will be
destroyed, and the F150 may not operate cor-
rectly the next time it is started.
2 General Precautions
The user must operate the product according to the performance
specifications described in the operation manuals.
Before using the product under conditions which are not de-
scribed in the manual or applying the product to nuclear control
systems, railroad systems, aviation systems, vehicles, combus-
tion systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, safety
equipment, and other systems, machines, and equipment that
may have a serious influence on lives and property if used im-
properly, consult your OMRON representative.
Make sure that the ratings and performance characteristics of
the product are sufficient for the systems, machines, and equip-
ment, and be sure to provide the systems, machines, and equip-
ment with double safety mechanisms.
