[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS] WARNING ● To control a running programmable controller (data modification) by connecting GX Developer to a CPU module or connecting a personal computer to an intelligent function module (special function module), create an interlock circuit on the sequence program so that the entire system will function safely all the time.
Page 4
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS] CAUTION ● Use the programmable controller in the environment conditions given in the general specifications of the User's Manual for the CPU module used. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the product.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS] WARNING ● Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply before installation or wiring. Failure to do so may result in an electric shock or damage to the product. CAUTION ● Properly solder a connector for coaxial cable. Failure to do so may cause malfunction.
Page 6
[START-UP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS] CAUTION ● Do not disassemble or remodel each of the modules. Doing so may cause failure, malfunctions, personal injuries and/or a fire. ● When using a wireless communication device such as a mobile phone, keep a distance of 25cm (9.84inch) or more from the programmable controller in all directions.
