SECTION 1
Precautions
This section provides general precautions for using the NQ-Series Operator
Interfaces (OIs), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and related devices.
The information contained in this section is important for the safe and
reliable operation of the NQ-Series terminal. You must read this section
and understand the information contained before attempting to set up or
operate an NQ-Series terminal.

Intended audience Section 1-1
vii
1-1 Intended audience
This manual is intended for the following personnel, who must also have
knowledge of electrical systems (an electrical engineer or the equivalent).
• Personnel in charge of installing FA systems.
• Personnel in charge of designing FA systems.
• Personnel in charge of managing FA systems and facilities.
1-2 General precautions
The user must operate the product according to the performance
specifications described in the operation manual.
Before using the product under conditions which are not described in the
manual or applying the product to nuclear control systems, railroad systems,
aviation systems, vehicles, combustion 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
improperly, consult your OMRON representative.
Make sure that the ratings and performance characteristics of the product are
sufficient for the systems, machines, and equipment, and be sure to provide
the systems, machines, and equipment with double safety mechanisms.
This manual provides information for installing and operating the OMRON NQ-
Series HMI (referred to as “HMI”). Be sure to read this manual before
attempting to use the HMI and keep this manual close at hand for reference
during operation.
• The HMI is a general purpose product. It is a system component and is used in con-
junction with other items of industrial equipment such as PLC's. Loop Controllers,
Adjustable Speed Drives, etc.
• A detailed system analysis and job safety analysis should be performed by the sys-
tem designer or system integrator before including the HMI unit in any new or exist-
ing system. Consult your OMRON representative for options availability and for
application specific system integration information if required.
• The product may be used to control an adjustable speed drive connected to high
voltage sources and rotating machinery that is inherently dangerous if not operated
safely. Interlock all energy sources, hazardous locations, and guards in order to
restrict the exposure of personnel to hazards. The adjustable speed drive may start
the motor without warning. Signs on the equipment installation must be posted to
this effect. A familiarity with auto-restart settings is a requirement when controlling
adjustable speed drives. Failure of external or ancillary components may cause
intermittent system operation, i.e., the system may start the motor without warning
or may not stop on command. Improperly designed or improperly installed system
interlocks and permissives may render a motor unable to start or stop on command.

Safety precautions Section 1-3
viii
1-3 Safety precautions
!WARNING Do not attempt to take any HMI apart or touch any internal parts while the
power is being supplied. Doing so may result in electric shock.
!WARNING Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify any HMI. Any attempt to do so may
result in malfunction, fire, or electric shock.
!WARNING Provide safety measures in external circuits, i.e., not in the HMI, in order to ensure
safety in the system if an abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the HMI or another
external factor affecting the HMI operation. Not doing so may result in serious
accidents.
• Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety measures
must be provided in external control circuits.
!WARNING Never short-circuit the positive and negative terminals of the batteries, charge
the batteries, disassemble them, deform them by applying pressure, or throw
them into a fire. The batteries may explode, combust or leak liquid.
!WARNING Fail-safe measures must be taken by the customer to ensure safety in the
event of incorrect, missing, or abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines,
momentary power interruptions, or other causes. Not doing so may result in
serious accidents.
!WARNING The HMI will turn OFF when its self-diagnosis function detects any error. As a
countermeasure for such errors, external safety measures must be provided to
ensure safety in the system.
!WARNING Do not touch any of the terminals or terminal blocks while the power is being supplied.
Doing so may result in electric shock.
!Caution Pay careful attention to the polarities (+/-) when wiring the DC power supply. A wrong
connection may cause malfunction of the system.
!Caution Confirm safety at the destination HMI before transferring a program or settings to
another HMI. Doing this without confirming safety may result in injury.
!Caution Tighten the screws on the terminal block of the Power Supply connector to the torque
specified in the operation manual. The loose screws may result in burning or
malfunction.

Operating environment precautions Section 1-4
ix
1-4 Operating environment precautions
!Caution Do not operate the control system in the following locations. Doing so may result in
malfunction, electric shock or burning:
• Locations subject to direct sunlight.
• Locations subject to temperatures or humidities outside the range specified in the
specifications.
• Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature.
• Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases.
• Locations subject to dust (especially iron dust) or salts.
• Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, or chemicals.
• Locations subject to shock or vibration.
!Caution Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures when installing systems in the
following locations. Doing so may result in malfunction:
• Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of electric noise.
• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields.
• Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity.
• Locations close to power supplies.
!Caution The operating environment of the HMI System can have a large effect on the longevity
and reliability of the system. Improper operating environments can lead to malfunction,
failure and other unforeseeable problems with the system. Make sure that the operating
environment is within the specified conditions at installation and remains within the
specified conditions during the life of the system. Follow all installation instructions and
precautions provided in this operation manual.
