Certification of UL, cUL standards

Please consult with Mitsubishi Electric for information on UL, cUL standard practices and the corresponding types of equipment.

Compliance with EC directive(CE Marking )

This product complies with EC directive, however, this document does not guarantee that a mechanical system including this product will comply with EC directive. Compliance to EMC directive and LVD directive of the entire mechanical system should be checked by the user / manufacturer. For more details please contact the local Mitsubishi Electric sales site.

Caution for compliance with EC Directive

Please use the FX3G Series programmable controllers while installed in conductive shielded control panels under a general industrial environment.
Programmable controllers are open-type devices that must be installed and used within conductive control panels. Please secure the control box lid to the control box (for conduction). Installation within a control box greatly affects the safety of the system and aids in shielding noise from the programmable controller.
For the control panel, use the product having sufficient strength, fire protectiveness and shielding property to an installation environment.
24 V DC of the power supply must be supplied from the circuit double/reinforced insulated from the main power supply (MAINS).
Caution for compliance with the LVD directive (EN61010-2­201:2013)(*1)
To an external connection port other than AC power supply terminal and AC input/output terminal, connect the circuit separated from a dangerous voltage by a double/reinforced insulation.
Between the commons having the adjacent relay output terminals, if an external power supply is higher than 120 V AC, the insulation is basic. Therefore, when using 120 V AC or higher external power supply and 30 V DC/AC or lower external power supply between the adjacent commons, do not handle 30 V DC/ AC or lower external power supply as a touchable part, (When handling 30 V DC/AC or lower external power supply as a touchable part, add a basic insulation.)
Do not wire two or more crimp terminals to one terminal. (If the wiring with two or more wires is needed, take an appropriate action such as adding an external terminal.)
For crimp terminals to be used for the wiring applied with 30 V AC or higher, use the products with insulating sleeves.
Cutoff device such as a breaker or a circuit protector should be installed in accordance with the following precautions.
- Use EN60947-1 or EN60947-3 standards.
- Place the cutoff device so that it can be operated easily.
- Specify that the cutoff device is for this equipment.
(*1) For the time of compliance with the LVD directive (EN61010-
2-201:2013), refer to FX Edition.
