 SAFETYPRECAUTIONS 

(Always read these precautions priorto u se.)

Before using this product, please readthis manual carefullyand pay full attentionto safety toensure that
the product is used correctly.
The precautions presented in this manual are concerned with this product only. For Programmable
Controller system safety precautions, refer tothe user ’s manual of the MELSEC-L series CPUmodule to
be used.
In this manual, the safetyprecautions are rankedas “WARNING”and “CAUTION.”

Indicates that incorrect handlingmay ca use hazardous conditions,
resulting in death or severeinjury.

WARNING

Indicates that incorrect handlingmay ca use hazardous conditions,
resulting in medium or minor injuryan d/or property damage.

CAUTION

Note that failure to observe the CAUTION level instructions may lead to a serious consequence
according to the circumstances. Always followthe precautionsof bothlevels be cause they are important
to personal safety.
Please keep this manual in an easy-to-access location forfuture reference, and be sure to provide the
manual to the end user.

[Precautions before using]

CAUTION

 When making a switch from the MELSEC-AnS Series to the MELSEC-L Series, be sure to

consult user's manual supplied with individual module under the MELSEC-L Series to confirm
differences in various aspects including performance, function, CPU input/output signals and
buffer memory addresses between the twoseries.

[Installation Precautions]

CAUTION

 Use the Conversion Adapter inthe environmental conditions that are specifiedi n the general

specification. If th e Products are used in any environmentbeyond the bounds of the general
specification, electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to ordegradation of the Productswill
result.

 Do not directly touch any conductive parts of Conversion Adapter. Contact will cause

malfunction or failure in thesystem.

 Fastenthe ConversionAdapter andthe MountingBracket se curely with retaining screws, and

tighten the screws by applying torque within specified limits. Loose screws can lead to the
dropping of the ConversionAdapter or Mounting Bracket, possibly causing breakage thereof.
Excessive tightness of the screws can lead to breakage of the screws, Conversion Adapter,
Mounting Bracket, or MELSEC-L Series Module,possibly causingthe dropping,shorting, and
malfunction thereof.

 Always check for correct match between MELSEC-L Series and the Conversion Adapter.

Incorrect match can cause damageto the MELSEC-LSeries Module.

 When installing the Conversion Adapter, take care not to get your hand snagged on the

Mounting Bracket or the li ke. Injury may result.

 When installing or removing the MELSEC-L Series Module complete with a Converter

Adapter, be sure to hold i t with both hands. Dropping maylead tobreakage.

[Wiring Precautions]

WARNING

 Before attempting to install the Unit or carry out the necessary wiring , make certain that the

external power supply, used in the system, isshut offon all thre e phases. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock ordamage to theproduct.

 After installation and wirin g, close the terminal block cover be fore turning on the module for

operation. Failure to do somay result inelectric shock.

CAUTION

 Carry out wiring for the Conversion Adapter correctly after checking the specification and

terminal arrangement for the moduleused. Connecting apower supplywith adifferent voltage
rating or incorrect wiring maycause a fireor failure.

 Tighten the MELSEC-AnS Series terminali nstallation screws and terminal screw securely by

applying torque within the specified limits. Loose screws will cause short circuit, fire or
malfunction. Excessive tightening willdamage the screws or the ConversionAdapter whichin
turn will cause dropping ofparts, short circuitor malfunction.

 Use care to prevent foreign materials including cuttings and wiring debris from entering the

Conversion Adapter or the MELSEC-L Series Module. These will be cause for fire, failure or
malfunction.

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]

WARNING

 Do nottouch liveterminals. There isa dangerof electricshock or malfunction.
 Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before cleaning or

retightening the terminal screws. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the
MELSEC-Q Series module to fail or malfunction. Loose screws can lead to dropping,
shorting, and malfunction. Excessive tightness of the screws can l ead to breakage of the
screws, Conversion Adapter, Mounting Bracket, or MELSEC-Q Series Module, possibly
causing the dropping, shorting, andmalfunction ther eof.

CAUTION

 Do not modify the Conversion Adapter or take it apart. Doing so will cause failure,

malfunction, personal injury, or fire.

 Do not drop the Conversion Adapterand Mounting Bracket or do not give a strong impact

to it. This will cause damage.

[Disposal Precautions]

CAUTION

 When disposingof theproduct, t reat it as industrial waste.

Precautions for programming

(1) A1S62DA and L60DA4 differfrom ea ch other in the way input/outputsignals (X, Y)and buffermemory add resses are allocated. Therefore, you needmake necessa ry changes to the sequence programthat is

used.

(2) CH3 and CH4 ofL6 0DA4 cannot be used.

Precautions for wiring

L60DA4 is not provided witha ter minal for Offset/Gain setting or OutputHold/Clear setting
purposes.

Make Output Hold/Clear setting bychoosing an appropriateL60DA4 intelligentfunction
module switch setting.
For more details about theOffset/Gain setting andOutput Hold/Clearsetting, se e the L60DA4
User’s Manual.

L60DA4 requires power supply. Therefore,use the openedterminals(TB18, TB19)of
A1S62DA to provide 24VDC powersupply to L60DA4.
Connect the shield wires o f each channel to the openedterminals (TB11and TB17)of
A1S62DA, and make sure to groundthe FGterminal (TB18)of L60DA4by u sing the opened
terminal (TB20) of A1S62DA.

4．Mounting and Installation

4.1 HandlingPrecautions

(1) Before attempting to install the Unit or carry out the necessary wiring, make certain that the

external power supply, used in the system, is shut off on all three phases. Failure to do so may

result in electric shock ordamage to theproduct.
(2) Do nottouch liveterminals. Thereis a dangerof electricshock ormalfunction.
(3) Do not modify the Conversion Adapter or take it apart. Doing so will cause failure, malfunction,

personal injury, or fire.
(4) Do not touch the energized part of the Conversion Adapter directly. Contact will cause

malfunction or failure in thesystem.

(5) Fasten the Conversion Adapter and the Mounting bracket securely with retaining screws, and

tighten the scr ews by applying torque within specified limits. Loose screws can lead to the
dropping of the Conversion Adapter, or Mounting bracket, possibly causing breakage thereof.
Excessive tightness of the screws can lead to breakage of the screws, Converter Adaptor,
Mounting bracket, or MELSEC-L Series Module, possibly causing the dropping, shorting, and
malfunction thereof.

(6) Use care to prevent foreign materials including cuttings and wiring debris from entering the

Conversion Adapter or the MELSEC-L Series Module. These will be cause for fire, failure or
malfunction.

(7) Do not drop the Conversion Adapter and Mounting Bracket or do not give a strong impact to it.

This will cause damage.
