Applicable standards
FX3U-4AD-TC-ADP units made in June, 2005 or later comply with the EC Directive
(EMC Directive) and UL standards (UL, cUL). Further information 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 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 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 recommend that shielded cables should be used. If NO other
EMC protection is provided, then users may experience temporary loss 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

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 specia l 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 wit h a 'special adapter' and
perform the procedure as i ndicated.
4)
Slide the special adap ter 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 indi cated. (Please

3. Wiring
WIRING
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
malfunctions 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 least 100 mm (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.
3.1 Applicable cable and terminal tightening torque
3.1.1 Type terminal block (European type)
1) Wire size
- The po wer supply wiring and the Type K/J changeover input wiring should
use 22-20 AWG wire.
- Ther mocouple wiring should use the compensating lead wire suitable for

When using a ferrule with insulation sleeve, choose a wire with proper cable
sheath referring to the above outside dimensions, or otherwise, the wire
cannot be inserted easily. The tightening torque must be 0.22 to 0.25 N
not tighten terminal screws with a torque outside the above-mentioned range.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
3.2 Power Supply Wiring
For the power supply wiring, refer to the following manual.

3.3 Selection of thermocouple
Precautions on thermocouple wiring
• Thermocouple type
- There are 2 types of thermocouples: Type K and Type J. Select the desired
type. However, be sure to connect the same type of thermocouple to all the
channels.
- Use insulated thermocouple types.
• Compensating lead
wire To connect the
thermocouple, use
one of the right
of compensating l
wires.
The compensating
lead wire indicates the temperature value of approximately 0.12 °C higher than
that of the wire resistor (10 Ω). Temperature value should be used in
consideration of this point.
If the compensating lead wire is very long, the wire may be easily affected by
noise, etc. It is , therefore, r ecommended th at the length of the compensati ng
lead wire should be 100 m (328' 1") or less.
