6. Checking the Warning Label on the Main Body
Check that warning label is attached on the main body.
If the label is missing or hard to read due to stain, contact the nearest Toshiba office or agent.
[Warning symbols on the nv series type2 light main body]
This symbol is a warning symbol for dangerous parts. It is attached on places where there is
a risk of an electric shock or a risk of damage to the main body due to wrong wiring.
Note the following where this symbol is present.
●Touching the power input terminal of the power supply module while the power is on causes an
electric shock and is very dangerous.
Do not touch the power input terminal.
●For safety, turn off the power before wiring or performing maintenance and inspection.
●Wire the power input terminal correctly, and avoid applying any voltage exceeding the specified
voltage range. It may cause failure or damage.
●Perform connector connection of the nV-Tool port after turning off the power of the nV-Tool (such
as the PC).
Turn on the power of the nV-Tool after connection.
Be careful not to short-circuit the connector pins with the connector cover.

Precautions on Usage
●Installation
・ Do not give strong impact to the controller and modules such as dropping and banging which may
cause failures.
・ Use your cellular phone or PHS one meter or more away from the product main unit in operation,
various transmission cables, and I/O cable. Otherwise, the system may malfunction.
・ When connecting the connectors and cables or installing the module to the base unit, secure them
with screws tightly.
Insufficient tightening may cause failure or malfunction due to vibrations.
●Power wiring
・ Keep the cables from other lines as much as possible. Especially, keep them away 200mm or more
from power lines.
・ The terminal screw size is M3.5. As applicable crimp contacts, use the one for 3.5M screws whose
width is 7mm or less.
・ Do not connect anything to the NC part.
●Battery replacement
・ Battery replacement can be done while the unit is energized or not energized. When replacing the
battery while the unit is not energized, complete the replacement within 3 minutes. If the unit is left
without a battery for a long time, the content of the RAM memory may be lost.
・ The Battery Normal LED (BAT) may illuminate during battery replacement. This is not an error.
If the voltage decreases with the battery installed, the state will be detected normally and the LED
goes off.
・ The Battery Normal LED (BAT) may illuminate during battery replacement. This is not an error.
If the voltage decreases with the battery installed, the state will be detected normally and the LED
goes off.
・ Do not use a battery when 3 years or more have passed since the production date.
●Maintenance
・ Place a module removed from the unit on a conductive mat or conductive bag (used for a backup
board) on a grounded table.
Otherwise, parts may be damaged due to static electricity.
・ Before touching the device or module, touch a grounded metal to discharge the static electricity of
your body. Otherwise, it may cause malfunction or failure due to static electricity.
・ Wipe off stain on the device or module with a soft cloth.
For severe stain, use a wet cloth wrung tightly.
Leaving them stained may cause wrong decision or operational mistake.
・ Do not use benzene or thinner to remove stain on device or module.
It may cause deformation or discoloration of the device panel or module.
・ To keep the system normal and avoid unnecessary troubles, perform daily inspections, regular
inspections, and cleaning.

1.1 Functions and Characteristics of the Controller
Unified controller nv series type2 light controllers inherit functions of the conventional
unified controller V series and have the following features:
■High reliability has been achieved by the redundant structure of modules and
application of ECC circuit of the internal memory.
You can build a duplexed system having two sets of the power module, controller
module and serial bus interface module. Furthermore, you can not only detect errors but
also correct them by applying ECC circuit to the internal memory of each module.
■ It is equipped with “TC-net I/O,” a fast serial I/O system.
I/O data can be quickly collected at a high transmission rate of 100 Mbps, and the
minimum time of collection cycle of 100 μs.
■ High reliability has been achieved with redundant supervisory and control
network.
The supervisory and control network employs Ethernet whose transmission rate is100
Mbps and can further duplex the transmission channel.
■The inheritance is secured by three basic elements of the supervisory control
system.
・ nV-Tool : It conforms to the international standard
IEC 61131-3 employed by conventional
devices and allows you to customize symbols
to users’ preference for easier operation.
・ Supervisory and control network : It uses the open network Ethernet of a
transmission rate of 100 Mbps.
・ Operator station : It allows you to connect to the conventional
model “OIS-DS” and inherits the conventional
operability. OIS-DS allows you to add functions
as an OPC server.
