OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Area
Do not install the EC2B control box in an environment where more than IP65 protection degree
(more than Type 4X in North America) is required.
Use the EC2B control box under ambient temperature of –20 to +50°C. If the control box is
exposed to direct sunlight and the surface temperature may rise above 50°C, provide a shade to
keep the surface temperature below 50°C.
Installation
Use four M6 bolts for 1-column, four M8 bolts for 2- and 3-column, or other methods with
equivalent strength to install the control box. Mounting tab thickness is 1.5mm for 1 column and
2mm for 2, 3, and 4 columns.
• If bolts become may loose due to vibration, use spring washers.
• If bolt corrosion is anticipated, use anti-corrosion bolts or other countermeasures.
Notes on Emergency Stop Switches
When using the emergency stop switches on safety-related parts of the control system, observe
safety standards and regulations of the relevant country or region. Also be sure to perform a risk
assessment before operation.
Opening/Closing the Lid
Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen lid mounting screws. While holding the unhinged side, open
the lid slowly without exerting excessive force on the hinge.
Before closing the lid, make sure of the following:
• No foreign substances are on the packing or joint surfaces.
• No displacement of the waterproof packing.
• Wires are not caught between the joint surfaces.
• Next, close the lid slowly and tighten the screws to a proper torque of 1.6 to 2.4 N·m.
Limitation of the Operating Current
Major heat sources comes from the wiring which is connected to the control box. Therefore,
not only the operating current but wiring conditions (size, no. of wires, no. of wire bundles) may
cause temperature rise. When wiring, observe the following conditions.
Stranded wire: 1.5 to 2.5 mm2 (UL-c-UL certified) / Solid wire: ø1.2 to ø1.6 mm (16 to 14 AWG)
• Maximum no. of wires per bundle: 16
• Maximum operating current: 10A
When using the control box under an operating environment of 40°C minimum, use a heat
resistant cable of 70°C minimum.

Protects control units from direct sunlight and rain. The sur face of the control box shade is uncoated.
Can be installed by tightening to the mounting tabs on the control box.
Determine the operating current so that the total heat value of 1 wire bundle is below 300 [A
Also, when calculating the heat value, take the current fluctuation (10%) into consider-
wires].

Wiring Construction
Observe the laws and regulations in each country concerning wiring construction.Use cable
wiring or metal conduit wiring for installation in hazardous locations. If foreign objects or water
may enter the box, install a sealing fitting near the cable entry of the box and seal the control box
using a compound. Standard type control boxes do not contain a terminal block. Wire the control
units directly.
Applicable Wires
Stranded wire: 1.25 to 2.5 mm2, solid wire: ø1.2 to ø1.6 mm (AWG16 to 14). Do not connect more
than 2 wires to the same terminal.
Applicable crimping terminal
Ring and spade terminals cannot be used for EU2B control units with IP20 finger-safe terminals.
Ring and spade terminals cannot be used for IP20 clamp type terminal blocks. When connecting
two ferrules to an EU2B control unit, use ferrules without insulating sheath.

adaptor before attaching the operator. Do not install the contact block adaptor with the operator
attached. Otherwise, malfunction may result.
Protective Grounding
Protective grounding must be performed according to the installation environment and rating
requirements. Observe laws and regulations set by each country.
• Connect the M4 grounding terminal of the EC2B control box to a proper ground (grounding
resistance 10Ω maximum). When operating the EC2B control box by connecting to circuits
of 300V or below, the grounding resistance must be 100Ω maximum.
• When using cables, connect one of the cable cores to the grounding terminal in the
enclosure.
• If the grounding terminal in the enclosure cannot be used, use the M4 grounding terminal
on the outside of the enclosure.
Recommended tightening torque:
M4: 1.0 to 1.3 Nm
M6: 3.9 to 5.4 Nm
• For grounding, use appropriate wires (size, material, insulation) that can tolerate the ex-
pected maximum grounding current. Be sure to protect the grounding wire with protection,
such as metal conduit, from external damage.
Padlock and hasp are available in various shapes and sizes. Make sure that they do not interfere
with the control units. Note: Not supplied by IDEC.
Keep the total weight of padlock and hasp under 1500g max, otherwise the switch may malfunction or result in failure. No vibration should be applied when padlock or hasp are installed. When
padlock or hasp are disfigured, stop usage immediately.
Ensure that no shock or electric sparks are generated.
When using the plate lock padlock cover with the extended pushbutton, the switch contact may
turn on/off when the cover is being installed. Ensure to provide functional safety measure to
prevent unexpected startup.
When using the padlock cover on the safety-related part of the control system, observe safety
standards and regulations of the relevant country or region. Also be sure to perform risk assessment before operation.

Installing EU9Z-DB Rubber Boots
To install the rubber boot on flush and extended pushbuttons, place the rubber boot on the cap
and push the rubber boot holder straight. The notches around the rubber boot must show evenly.
Rubber boot holder
Rubber boot
Cap
Push the rubber boot holder further around on the two notches on the holder so that the holder
fits the button completely
Make sure that the rubber boot and rubber boot holder are installed straight.
On Nameplate Types, the EU2B and the rubber boot holder must be aligned so that when in-
stalled, the anti-rotation projection on the EU2B comes to the center of the groove on the holder.
Make sure that the rubber boot is installed completely, otherwise water droplets might enter the
rubber boot, but no water will enter the control box.
Align
To remove the rubber boot from the flush and extended pushbuttons, gently insert the slotted screwdriver (0.5t x 4w or below)
inside a notch on the rubber boot holder and tilt to the direction
shown by the arrow ➀. To prevent damage, do not apply excessive
force to the EU2B when removing the rubber boot.

Safety Precautions
EU2B Control Units
Use EU2B switches that are applicable for use in hazardous areas (potentially explosive atmosphere where explosive gas or vapor may exist), otherwise explosion or fire hazard may result.
• EU2B switches can be installed only in zones 1 and 2. Do not use in zone 0.
• Turn power off to the EU2B switches before installation, removal, wiring, or maintenance,
otherwise explosion, fire hazard, or electric shock may result.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify, otherwise damage or accident may result.
• Do not use damaged EU2B switches, otherwise damage or accident may result.
• When connecting external devices, make sure that each cable is connected to the correct
terminal, otherwise electric shock, fire hazard, or explosion may result.
• Use wires of a proper size to meet voltage and current requirements. Incorrect wiring may
cause abnormal temperature rise and lead to fire hazard and explosion.
• Connect the grounding terminal to a proper ground, otherwise electric shock, fire hazard,
or explosion may result.
• Operate the EU2B switches at the rated current and voltage specified in this catalog,
otherwise short-circuiting, fire hazard, or explosion may result.
• Stop operation immediately if abnormal operation occurs. Otherwise, a secondary ac-
cident may occur.
• Use explosion-proof electrical equipment that are applicable for use in hazardous areas
(potentially explosive atmosphere where explosive gas or vapor may exist), otherwise
explosion or fire hazard may result.
EC2B Control Boxes
• EC2B control boxes can be installed only in zones 1 and 2. Do not use in zone 0. In North
America, the EC2B can be installed in Division 2 areas, but cannot be installed in Division
1 areas.
• Turn power off to the EC2B control box before installation, removal, wiring, or maintenance, otherwise explosion, fire hazard, or electric shock may result.
• Special skills and knowledge of explosion protection, electric system installation, and relevant laws/regulations are required to transport, install, wire, operate, repair, and inspect
the EC2B control box. People without such expertise must not use the EC2B control box,
otherwise damage or accident may result.
• Do not modify the EC2B, otherwise damage or accident may result.
• Do not use a damaged EC2B control box, otherwise damage or accident may result.
• When connecting external devices, make sure that each cable is connected to the correct
