and .
STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS
• Do not touch any terminal while the PLC's power is on.
Doing so may cause electric shock or malfunctions.
• Before cleaning or retightening terminals, cut off all phases of the power
supply externally. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
• Before modifying or disrupting the program in operation or running the
PLC, carefully read through this manual and the associated manuals and
ensure the safety of the operation.
An operation error may damage the machinery or cause accidents.
STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS
• Turn off the power to the PLC before attaching or detaching the memory
cassette. If the memory cassette is attached or detached while the PLC's
power is on, the data in the me mory may be destroyed, or th e memory
cassette may be damaged.
• Do not disassemble or modify the PLC.
Doing so may cause fire, equipment failures, or malfunctions.
For repair, contact your local Mitsubishi Electric representative.
• Turn off the power to the PLC before connecting or disconnecting any
connection cable.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous
conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous
conditions, resulting in medium or slight personal injury
or physical damage.
STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS
• Turn off the power to the PLC before attaching or detaching the following
devices. Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
- P eripheral devices, display module, expansion boards, special
adapters and memory cassette
• Do not use the chemicals for cleaning.
• If there is the possibility of touching the PLC inside a control panel in
maintenance, make sure to discharge to avoid the influence of static
electricity.
DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS
• Please contact a certified electronic waste disposal company for the
environmentally safe recycling and disposal of your device.
TRANSPORTATION AND
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
• The PLC is a precision instrument. During transportation, avoid impacts
larger than those specified in section 3.1 by usi ng dedicated packaging
boxes and shock-absorbing palettes.
Failure to do so may cause failures in the PLC.
After transportation, verify operation of the PLC and check for damage of
the mounting part, etc.

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 FX3S 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 conduc tion). Installation within a con trol 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 (EN61010-2-201:2013)
• 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 su pply between the adjacent commo ns, 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 actio n 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.
- Us e EN60947-1 or EN60947-3 standards.
- Use CP30-BA 2P 1-MD 0.5A or the cutoff device having the cutoff performance
equivalent to CP30-BA 2P 1-MD 0.5A.
- P lace 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),
Analog input/output
The analog input/output have been found to be compliant to the European
standards in the aforesaid manual and directive. However, for the very best
performance from what are in fact delicate measuring and controlled output
devices, Mitsubishi Electric would like to make the following points.
As analog devices are sensitive by nature, their use should be considered
carefully. For users of proprietary cables (integral with sensors or actuators),
these users should follow those manufacturers' installation requirements.
Mitsubishi Electric recommends that shielded cables be used. If NO other EMC
protection is provided, users may experience temporary loss or accuracy
between +10 %/-10 % in very heavy industrial areas.
However, Mitsubishi Electric suggests that adequate EMC precautions be
followed for the users complete control system.
3S Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition.
refer to FX
- S ensitive analog cables should not be laid in the same trunking or cable
conduit as high voltage cabling. Where possible, users should run analog
cables separately.
- Good cable shielding should be used. When terminating the shield at
Earth, ensure that no earth loops are accidentally created.
- W hen reading analog values, EMC accuracy can be improved by
averaging the readings. This can be achieved either through functions on
the analog products or through a user's program in the FX
main unit.

3. Installation (generic specifications)
As for installation of the special adapters and ex pansion boards, refer to the
following manual.
INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
• Use the product within the generic environment specifications described in
section 3.1 of this manual.
Never use the product in areas with excessive dust, oily smoke,
conductive dusts, corrosive gas (salt air, Cl
flammable gas, vibration or impacts, or expose it to high temperature,
condensation, or rain and wind.
If the product is used in such conditions, electric shock, fire, malfunctions,
deterioration or damage may occur.
• Do not touch the conductive parts of the product directly.
Doing so may cause device failure or malfunctions.
• Install the product securely using a DIN rail or mounting screws.
• Install the product on a flat surface.
If the mounting surface is rough, undue force will be applied to the PC
board, thereby causing nonconformities.
• When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure that cutting and wiring
debris do not enter the ventilation slits of the PLC.
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.
• Be sure to remove the dust proof sheet from the PLC's ventilation port
when installation work is completed. Failure to do so may cause fire,
equipment failures or malfunctions.
• Connect the peripheral device cables securely to their designated
connectors. Loose connections may cause malfunctions.
