conditions and methods
described in this document.
Otherwise, it may cause a fall, fire, failure,
or malfunction.
Prohibited
Do not insert any foreign object
such as wasted lines into the
module or unit.
It may cause fire, failure, or malfunction.
Mandatory
Install the power module,
controller module, and I/O
module to the dedicated base
unit.

2. Safety Precautions on Wiring
WARNING
Mandatory
Connect the cables while the
power is off.
Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock
or failure.
Mandatory
When wiring the module, use
crimp contacts with sheath, or
cover it with tape.
Otherwise, exposed conductors may
cause an electric shock.
Mandatory
Install the terminal block cover
securely to the terminal block.
Exposed conducting parts may cause an
electric shock.
CAUTION
Mandatory
Connect an external power
supply that matches the rating.
Otherwise, it may cause an explosion or
fire.
Mandatory
Wiring work must be done by
qualified experts.
Wrong wiring may cause a fire, electric
shock, or failure.
Mandatory
Install a fuse that matches the
current capacity to the external
circuit for overload protection of
the relay output module.
Otherwise, a load short-circuit may cause
an accident or damage to the machine.
Mandatory
When using the contact relay
used for relay output, check the
contact life.
If the contact life of the relay is expired, an
output error may occur due to a defective
contact, resulting in an accident or damage
to the machine.
Contact relays have a life due to wearing
of the contact. If the life is expired,
replace it with a new one.
Mandatory
Observe the tightening torque.
If it is too loose, it may come off.
If the tightening torque is out of specified
range, it may be broken off.
M3.5 screw: 0.8 to 1.2 N･m
M3 screw: 0.5 to 0.75 N･m
Mandatory
Install the battery before use.
If the RAM is operated without any battery,
memory data or programs may be lost,
causing an accident or damage to the
machine due to malfunction.
Replace the battery according to the
battery replacement cycle guideline.
Mandatory
Turn on the power in the
following order:
Turn on the power of the nv series, and
then turn on the I/O module supply
external power and external load
power.
If this order is not followed, it may cause
an accident or damage to the machine due
to malfunction.

6F8C1511
iv
Mandatory
For system safety, turn off the
load power before the power of
the nv series.
If this order is not followed, it may cause
an accident or damage to the machine.
Share the external power supply for the I/O
module with the load power supply
whenever possible. If this is not possible,
construct the system so that the external
power supply and load power supply are
turned off simultaneously.
Mandatory
Construct the emergency stop
circuit and interlock circuit
outside the nv series.
Otherwise, it may cause an injury accident
or damage to the machine if failure or
malfunction occurs in the nv series.
