Safety Precaution

Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals
introduced in this manual carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the
product correctly.
The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product.
In this manual, the safety precautions are ranked as "DANGER" and "CAUTION".

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.

Depending on circumstances, procedures indicated by "CAUTION" may also be
linked to serious results.
In any case, it is important to follow the directions for usage.

DESIGN PRECAUTIONS

• Some failures of the Multi-Drop Connection Unit or cable may keep the
outputs on or off.
An external monitoring circuit should be provide d to check for output signals
which may lead to a serious accident.
Not doing so can cause an accident due to false output or malfunction.

• If a communication fault (including cable disconnection) occurs during
monitoring on the GOT, communication between the GOT and PLC CPU is
suspended and the GOT becomes inoperative.
A system where the GOT is used should be configured to perform any
significant operation to the sys tem by using the switches of a devi ce other
than the GOT on the assumption that a GOT communication fault will occur.
Not doing so can cause an accident due to false output or malfunction.
Do not use the

cause a serious accident.
An independent and redundant hardware or mechanical interlock is required to
configure the device that displays and outputs serious warning.
Failure to observe this instruction may result in an accident due to incorrect
output or malfunction.

DESIGN PRECAUTIONS

• Do not bundle the control and communication cables with main-circuit, power
or other wiring.
Run the above cables separately from such wiring and keep them a minimum
of 100mm (3.94in.) apart.Not doing so noise can cause a malfunction.

MOUNTING
PRECAUTIONS

• Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system
before mounting or removing the Multi-Drop Connection Unit to/from the panel.
Not doing so can cause the unit to fail or malfunction.

• When installing the battery wear an earth band etc. to avoid the static electricity.
The static electricity can cause the unit to fail or malfunction.

MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS

• Use the Multi-Drop Connection Unit in the environment that satisfies the general
specifications described in this manual. Not doing so can cause an electric s hock,
fire, malfunction or product damage or deterioration.

WIRING PRECAUTIONS

• Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system
before wiring. Failure to do so may result in an electric shock, product damage or
malfunctions.

• Please make sure to ground FG terminal of the Multi-Drop Connection Unit power
supply section by applying 100 or less which is used exclusively for the GOT. Not
doing so may cause an electric shock or malfunction.

• Correctly wire the Multi-Drop Connection Unit power supply section after
confirming the rated voltage and terminal arrangement of the product. Not doing
so can cause a fire or failure.

• Tighten the terminal screws of the Multi-Drop Connection Unit power supply
section in the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause a short circuit or
malfunction.
Overtightening can cause a short circuit or malfunction due to the damage of the
screws or the Multi-Drop Connection Unit.

• Exercise care to avoid foreign matter such as chips and wire offcuts entering the
Multi-Drop Connection Unit. Not doing so can cause a fire, failure or malfunction.

WIRING PRECAUTIONS

• Plug the communication cable into the connector of the connected unit and
tighten the mounting and terminal screws in the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a short circuit or malfunction. Overtightening can
cause a short circuit or malfunction due to the damage of the screws or unit.

STARTUP/MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS

• Do not disassemble or modify the Multi-Drop Connection Unit.
Doing so can cause a failure, malfunction, injury or fire.

• Do not touch the conductive and electronic parts of the Multi-Drop Connection
Unit directly.
Doing so can cause a Multi-Drop Connection Unit malfunction or failure.

• The cables connected to the Multi-Drop Connection Unit must be run in ducts or
clamped.
Not doing so can cause the Multi-Drop Connection Unit or cable to be damaged
due to the dangling, motion or accidental pulling of the cables or can cause a
malfunction due to a cable connection fault.

• When unplugging the cable connected to the unit, do not hold and pull the cable
portion. Doing so can cause the uni t or cable to be damaged or can cause a
malfunction due to a cable connection fault.

• Do not drop or apply any impact to the battery.
If any impact has been applied, discard the battery and never use it.
The battery may be damaged by the drop or impact.

• Before touching the unit, always touch grounded metal, etc. to discharge static
electricity from human body, etc.
Not doing so can cause the Multi-Drop Connection Unit to fail malfunction.

DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS

• When disposing of the product, handle it as industrial waste.

TRANSPORTATION
PRECAUTIONS

• Make sure to transport the Multi-Drop Connection Unit main unit and/or relevant
unit(s) in the manner they will not be exposed to the impact exceeding the impact
resistance described in the general specifications of this manual, as they are
precision devices. Failure to do so may cause the unit to fail.
Check if the unit operates correctly after transportation.
