External Interfaces
• This ST unit’s serial interface is not isolated.When the host (PLC) unit is also not iso-
lated, and to reduce the risk of damaging the RS232C/RS422/RS485 circuit, be sure
to connect pin #5 SG (Signal Ground) terminal.
• Similarly shaped connectors are used for COM1 and COM2 of the ST. Therefore, be
sure to connect the correct connectors. Communication is not available unless the
connectors are connected correctly.
• When isolation is necessary, you can use the RS232C isolation unit (CA3-ISO232-01) on
COM1.

Installations
1. Installation Requirements
• For easier maintenance, operation, and
improved ventilation, be sure to install the
ST at least 100 mm [3.94 in.] away from
adjacent structures and other equipment.
• Be sure that the ambient operation temper-
ature and the ambient humidity are within
their designated ranges. (Ambient opera-
tion temperature: 0 to 50°C, Ambient
humidity: 10 to 90%RH, Wet bulb temper-
ature: 39°C max.)
When installing the ST on the panel of a cab-
inet or enclosure, “Ambient operation tem-
perature” indicates both the panel face and
cabinet or enclosure’s internal temperature.
• Be sure that heat from surrounding equip-
ment does not cause the ST to exceed its
standard operating temperature.
2. ST Installation
(1) Create a Panel Cut following the dimen-
sions in the table below.
(2) Confirm that the installation gasket is
attached to the ST unit and then place the
ST unit into the Panel from the front.
• It is strongly recommended that you
use the installation gasket, since it
absorbs vibration in addition to repel-
ling water.
For the procedure for replacing the
installation gasket, refer to “ST3000
Series Hardware Manual”.
(3) The following figures show the four (4)
fastener insertion slot locations. Insert
each fastener’s hook into the slot and
tighten it with a screwdriver. Insert the
installation fasteners securely into the
insertion slot recess.

• Tightening the screws with too much
force can damage the ST unit’s plastic
case.
• The necessary torque is 0.5N•m.
Wiring
yTo avoid an electric shock, prior to
connecting the ST unit’s power cord
terminals to the power terminal block,
confirm that the ST unit’s power supply is
completely turned OFF, via a breaker, or
similar unit.
yAny other power level can damage both
the ST and the power supply.
yWhen the FG terminal is connected, be
sure the wire is grounded.

When connecting the Power Cord, use the
following items when performing wiring.
(Items are made by Phoenix Contact.)
Connecting the ST Power Cord
(1) Confirm that the ST unit’s Power Cord is
unplugged from the power supply.
(2) Strip the power cord, twist the
conductor’s wire ends, insert them into
the pin terminal and crimp the terminal.
Attach the terminal to the power
connector.
• Use a flat-blade screwdriver (Size 0.6
X 3.5) to tighten the terminal screws.
The torque required to tighten these
screws is 0.5 to 0.6 N•m [5-7Lb•In.].
• Do not solder the cable connection.
(3) Attach the Power connector(Plug) to the
Power Connector.
2. Power Supply Cautions
• Input and Output signal lines must be sepa-
rated from the power control cables for
operational circuits.
• To improve the noise resistance, be sure to
twist the ends of the power cord wires
before connecting them to the Power con-
nector (Plug).
• The ST unit’s power supply cord should
not be bundled with or kept close to main
circuit lines (high voltage, high current), or
input/output signal lines.
• To reduce noise, make the power cord as
short as possible.
• If the supplied voltage exceeds the ST
unit’s range, connect a voltage transformer.
• Between the line and the ground, be sure to
use a low noise power supply. If there is an
excess amount of noise, connect a noise
reducing transformer.
• The temperature rating of field installed
conductors: 75°C only.
• Use voltage and noise reducing trans-
formers with capacities exceeding
Power Consumption value.
• Must be used with a Class 2 Power Supply.
(24VDC)
• Connect a surge absorber to handle power
surges.
• Be sure to ground the surge absorber
(E1) separately from the ST unit (E2).
Select a surge absorber that has a
maximum circuit voltage greater then
that of the peak voltage of the power
supply.

3. Grounding Cautions
• Be sure to create an exclusive ground for
the Power Cord’s FG terminal. Use a
grounding resistance of 100Ω, a wire of
2mm2or thicker, or your country’s applica-
ble standard.
• The SG (signal ground) and FG (frame
ground) terminals are connected internally
in the ST unit.
When connecting the SG line to another
device, be sure that the design of the sys-
tem/connection does not produce a short-
ing loop.
• The grounding wire should have a cross
sectional area greater then 2mm2. Create
the connection point as close to the ST unit
as possible, and make the wire as short, as
possible. When using a long grounding
wire, replace the thin wire with a thicker
wire, and place it in a duct.
4. Input/Output Signal Line Cautions
• All ST Input and Output signal lines must
be separated from all operating circuit
(power) cables.
• If this is not possible, use a shielded cable
and ground the shield.
To prevent the USB cable
from coming off
Attaching the USB Holder
(1) Before starting the procedure, lift up the
tab on both sides of the USB Holder and
remove the USB Cover.
(2) Attach the USB holder to the USB Host
Interface part of the main unit. Hook the
lower pick of the USB holder to the
attachment hole of the main unit and
then insert the upper pick as shown
below to fix the USB holder.
(3) Insert the USB cable into the USB Host
Interface.

the picks pushing the USB holder from
both top and bottom.
UL/c-UL Approval
The ST-3400 Series units are UL/c-UL listed
products.
(UL File No.E220851)
These products conform to the following
standards:
UL508
Industrial Control Equipment
CSA-C22.2 No.142-M1987
(c-UL Approval)
Process Control Equipment
<Cautions>
Be aware of the following items when
building the ST into an end-use product:
• The ST unit’s rear face is not approved as
an enclosure. When building the ST unit
into an end-use product, be sure to use an
enclosure that satisfies standards as the
end-use product’s overall enclosure.
• The ST unit must be used indoors only.
• Install and operate the ST with its front
panel facing outwards.
• If the ST is mounted so as to cool itself
naturally, be sure to install it in a vertical
panel. Also, it’s recommended that the ST
should be mounted at least 100mm away
from any other adjacent structures or
machine parts. The temperature must be
checked on the final product in which the
ST is installed.
• For use on a flat surface of a Type 4X
(Indoor Use Only) and/or Type 13 Enclo-
sure.
