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.

• Make sure to connect the battery for memory backup correctly.
Do not charge, disassemble, heat, short-circuit, or expose the
battery to fire.
Doing so may rupture or ignite it.

• 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 ma y damage the machinery or cause acciden ts.

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 memory
may be destroyed, or the 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 distributor.

•

Turn off the power to the PLC before connecting or disconnecting
any extension cable.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.

• Turn off the power to the PLC before attaching or detaching the
following devices.
Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.

- Peripheral devices, extension blocks, connector conversion

adapter, extension power supply units, special adapters, and
FX Series terminal blocks.

- Battery and memory cassettes

DISPOSAL
PRECAUTIONS

• Please contact a certified electronic waste disposal company
for the environmentally safe recycling and disposal of your
device.

TRANSPORT AND
STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS

• Before transporting the PLC, turn on the power to the PLC to
check that the BAT LED is off.
If the PLC is transported with the BAT LED on or the battery
exhausted, the battery-backed data may be unstable during
transport ation.

• The PLC is a precision instrument. During transportation, avoid
impacts larger than those specified in Section 2.1. Failure to do
so may cause failures in the PLC.
After transportation, verify the operations of the PLC.

Caution for compliance with EC Directive

Installation in Enclosure

Programmable logic controllers are open-type devices that must be
installed and used within conductive control boxes. Please use the
FX3UC Series programmable logic controllers while installed in
conductive shielded control boxes. 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 logic controller.

Caution for Analog Products in use

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 the manufacturers’
installation requirements.
Mitsubishi Electric recommends that shielded cables be used. If no
other EMC protection is provided, then users may experience
temporary loss of accuracy between +10%/-10% in very heavy
industrial areas.
However, Mitsubishi Electric suggests that when adequate EMC
precautions are followed with general good EMC practice for the
users complete control system, users should expect normal
accuracy as specified in this manual.

- Sensitive analog cables should not be laid next to or bound with
high voltage cabling. Where possible, users should run analog
cables separately.

- Good cable shielding should be used. When grounding the
shield - ensure that no loops are accidentally created.

- When reading analog values, EMC induced errors can be
smoothed out by averaging the readings. This can be achieved
either through functions on the analog special adapter/block or
through the user’s program in the FX3UC Series PLC main unit.

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 section 2.1 of this manual.
Never use the product in areas with excessive dust, oily smoke,
conductive dusts, corrosive gas (salt air, Cl2, H2S, SO2 or NO2),
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 failures 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.
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 extension cables, peripheral device cables, input/
output cables and battery connecting cable securely to their
designated connectors.
Unsecured connection may cause malfunctions.

• Turn off the power before attaching or detaching the following
devices.
Failure to do so may cause device failures or malfunctions.

- Peripheral devices, extension blocks, connector conversion

adapter, extension power supply units, special adapters, and
FX Series term inal blocks

- Battery and memory cassettes

Notes

• When a dust proof sheet is supplied with an extension unit/
block, keep the sheet applied to the ventilation slits during
installation and wiring work.

• To prevent temperature rise, do not install the PLC on a floor, a
ceiling or a vertical surface.
Install it horizontally on a wall as shown in section 2.2.

• Keep a space of 50mm (1.97”) or more between the unit main
body and another device or structure (section 2.2 part A). Install
the unit as far away as possible from high-voltage lines, high­voltage devices and power equipment.

2.1 Generic specif ications [Main unit]

*1 For common grounding, refer to section 3.2.

*2 The PLC cannot be used at a pressure higher than the

atmospheric pressure to avoid damage.

2.2 Installation lo cation
