Applicable standards
FX3U-3A-ADP units made in June, 2009 or later comply with the EC Directive (EMC
Directive) and UL standards (UL, cUL). Further i nformation can be found in the
following manual.
→ FX
Regarding the standards that relate to the main unit, please refer to either the FX
series product catalog or consult with your nearest Mitsubishi product provider.
Attention
This product is designed for use in industrial applications.
Caution for compliance with EC Directive
The analog special adapters 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
device Mitsubishi Electric would like to make the following points;
As analog devices are sensitive by natur e, 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 recommend that shielded cables should be used. If NO other
EMC protection i s provided, then users may exper ience temporary los s or
accuracy between ±10 % in very heavy industrial areas.
However, Mitsubishi Electric suggest that if adequate EMC precautions are
followed for the users complete control system, users should expect accuracy
as specified in this manual.
• Sensitive analog cable should not be laid in the same trunking or cable
• Good cable shielding should be used. When terminating the shield at Earth
• When reading analog values, EMC accuracy can be improved out by

INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before attempting
installation or wiring work.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product.
INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
• Use the product within the generic environment specifications described in PLC
main unit manual (Hardware Edition).
Never use the product in areas with excessive dust, oily smoke, conductive dusts,
corrosive gas (salt air, Cl
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.
• When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure cutting or wire debris does not
enter the ventilation slits.
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.
• Do not touch the conductive parts of the product directly.
Doing so may cause device failures or malfunctions.
• Connect special adapter securely to their designated connectors.
Loose connections may cause malfunctions.
2.1 Connection to the PLC
This section describes the connection method to the PLC (FX3U Series PLC is used for
the following example).
For installation method to other PLCs, refer to the respective PLC User's manual
Hardware Edition.
Procedure
1) Turn off the power.
Disconnect all the cables connected to the PLC main unit and special adapter, and
demount the main unit and special adapter mounted on DIN rail or mounted directly
using screws.
2) Install an expansion board to the main unit.
For the expansion board installation procedure, refer to the following manual:
3) Remove the special adapter connector cover
on the expansion board (fig.A).
When connecting this product to another
special adapter, please replace the
'expansion board' in the above description
with a 'special adapter' and perform the
procedure as indicated.
4) Slide the speci al adapter slide lock (fig.B) of
the main unit.
When connecting this product to another
special adapter, please replace the 'main unit'
in the above description with a 'special
adapter' and perform the procedure as
indicated. (Please replace the following
procedures similarly.)

PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before
attempting installation or wiring work.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product.
WIRING
PRECAUTIONS
• When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure cutting or wire d ebris does
not enter the ventilation slits.
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.
• Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any
damage to the mac hinery or acci dents due to abnor mal data writt en to the
PLC under the influence of noise:
1) Do not bundle the power line or shield of the analog input/output cable
together with or lay it cl ose to the m ain circuit, hi gh-voltage line, or load
line.
Otherwise, noise disturbance and/or surge induction are likely to take
place. As a guideline, lay the control line at l east 100mm (3.94") or more
away from the main circuit, high-voltage line, or load line.
2) Ground the shield of the analog input/output cabl e at one point on the
signal receiving side. However, do not use common grounding with heavy
electrical systems.
• Make sure to properly wire to the terminal block (European type) in
accordance with the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit,
wire breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product.
- The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimens ions
described in the manual.
- Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual.
- Twist the end of strand wire and make sure that there are no loose wires.
- Do not solder-plate the electric wire ends.
- Do not connect more than the specified number of w ires or electric wires
of unspecified size.
- Affix the electric wires so that nei ther the terminal block nor the connected
parts are directly stressed.
• Make sure to properly wire the terminal block in accordance with the
following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit,
wire breakage, malfunctions, or damage to the product.
- The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimens ions
described in the manual of the PLC main unit.
- Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual of the
PLC main un it.
