SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This instruction manual describes the operation and function of the KV.
Read this manual carefully to ensure safe use and maximum performance
from your KV.

Symbols

The following symbols alert you to important messages. Be sure to read
these messages carefully.

WARNING

CAUTION

Note:

General Precautions

• Do not use this product for the purpose to protect a human body or a part
of human body.

• This product is not intended for use as explosion-proof product. Do not
use this product in a hazardous location and/or potentially explosive
atmosphere.

• At startup and during operation of the Ladder Builder for KV, be sure to
monitor the functions and performance of the KV Sereis basic unit and the
KV CPU.

• We recommend that you take substantial safety measures to avoid any
damage in the event a problem occurs.

• Do not open or modify the KV or use it in any way other than described in
the specifications.

• When the KV is used in combination with other instruments, functions and
performance may be degraded, depending on operating conditions and
the surrounding environment.

Failure to follow instruction may lead to injury. (electric shock,
burn, etc.)

Failure to follow instructions may lead to product damage.

PRECAUTIONS ON REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS

■ CE Marking

Keyence Corporation has confirmed that this product complies with the
essential requirements of the applicable EC Directive, based on the following
specifications. Be sure to consider the following specifications when using
this product in the Member State of European Union.

●EMC Directive (2004/108/EC)

• Applicable Standard EMI: EN61131-2, Class A

When using a relay output type unit (whose model name ends with "R"),
connect spark killers having the appropriate withstand voltage against the
load to the output terminals in parallel to contacts (because the unit
discharges when a relay contact becomes open and noise is generated). In
our experiments, we use the following models of spark killers.

XEB0101 0.1 µF-10 Ω manufactured by OKAYA DENKI SANGYO

The following 1-turn ferrite core is added to the AC power input circuit of the
KV-40AR/T, the KV-24AR/T and to the DC power input circuit of the KV­40DR/T.

ZCAT3035-1330 manufactured by TDK

Remarks: These specifications do not give any guarantee that the end­product with this product incorporated complies with the essential require­ments of EMC Directive. The manufacturer of the end-product is solely
responsible for the compliance on the end-product itself according to EMC
Directive.

●Low-Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC)

The Low-voltage Directive is applied to Relay output type only.

• Applicable standard EN61131-2

• Over voltage category II

• Use insulated type crimp-style terminals.

• For wiring materials, use lead wires whose sheath is 0.4 mm or more.

• The KV Series is allowed to be installed in a front installation only.
(Spacers for expansion units are not available.)

• When installing this product, it must be installed in an enclosure (Industrial
control panel) with IP 54 or higher.

• For wiring to the Power input terminal, Input terminal block and Output
Terminal block, use stranded copper wire having a gage of AWG#16 to
#24. The tightening torque is 0.5 N•m.

EMS: EN61131-2

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Inspection

While basic units and other units have been used for a long period of time,
the connector connection area may become loose, the battery may wear out,
or another nonconformity may occur in operation.
To avoid any nonconformities, inspect the basic units, other units, and the
wiring periodically. The major inspection items are as follows.

• Check to ensure that the connector is not disconnected or loose.

• Check to ensure that terminals on terminal plates are not loose.

• Check to ensure that the wiring cables among units and each equipment
are not damaged.

Maintenance

While basic units and other units have been used for a long period of time,
dirt will adhered. Wipe off any collected dirt with a clean, dry cloth.
Wipe off any dust and dirt that has collected on small and narrow portions
with cotton swabs.
Be sure to turn off the power before starting any inspection or maintenance.
