PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS
This section provides general precautions for using the USB-Serial Conversion Cable
and related devices.
The information contained in this section is important for the safe and reliable
application of the USB-Serial Conversion Cable. You must read this section and
understand the information contained before attempting to set up or operate a
USB-Serial Conversion Cable and PLC system.
█ Intended Audience
This manual is intended for the following personnel, who must also have knowledge of
electrical systems (an electrical engineer or the equivalent).
•Personnel in charge of purchasing FA devices.
•Personnel in charge of designing FA systems.
•Personnel in charge of managing FA systems and facilities.
█ General Precautions
•The user must operate the product according to the performance specifications
described in the operation manuals.
•Consult your OMRON representative before using the product under conditions which
are not described in the manual or applying the product to nuclear control systems,
railroad systems, aviation systems, vehicles, combustion systems, medical
equipment, amusement machines, safety equipment, and other systems, machines,
and equipment that may have a serious influence on lives and property if used
improperly.
•This manual provides important information for using the CS1W-CIF31 USB-Serial
Conversion Cable. Be sure to read this manual before attempting to use the
Conversion Cable and keep this manual close at hand for reference during operation.
WARNING It is extremely important that a PLC and all PLC Units be used for the specified purpose
and under the specified conditions, especially in applications that can directly or
indirectly affect human life. You must consult with your OMRON representative before
applying a PLC system to the above mentioned applications.
█ Operating Environment Precautions
Do not use the USB-serial Conversion Cable in the following places:
•Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields.
•Locations subject to direct sunlight.
•Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the range specified in the
specifications.
•Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature.
•Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases.
•Locations subject to excessive dust, or salts, or metal filings.
•Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, or chemicals.
•Locations subject to shock or vibration.
Provide proper shielding when installing in the following locations:
•Locations subject to static electricity or other sources of noise.
•Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields.
•Locations subject to possible exposure to radiation.
•Locations near power supply lines.

Certain Precautions on Specifications and Use
1. Suitability of Use. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for conformity
with any standards, codes or regulations which apply to the combination of the
Product in the Buyer’s application or use of the Product. At Buyer’s request,
Omron will provide applicable third party certification documents identifying
ratings and limitations of use which apply to the Product. This information by
itself is not sufficient for a complete determination of the suitability of the Product in combination with the end product, machine, system, or other application
or use. Buyer shall be solely responsible for determining appropriateness of
the particular Product with respect to Buyer’s application, product or system.
Buyer shall take application responsibility in all cases but the following is a
non-exhaustive list of applications for which particular attention must be given:
(i) Outdoor use, uses involving potential chemical contamination or electrical
interference, or conditions or uses not described in this document.
(ii) Use in consumer products or any use in significant quantities.
(iii) Energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation
systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, vehicles, safety equipment, and installations subject to separate industry or government regulations.
(iv) Systems, machines and equipment that could present a risk to life or property. Please know and observe all prohibitions of use applicable to this Product.
NEVER USE THE PRODUCT FOR AN APPLICATION INVOLVING SERIOUS
RISK TO LIFE OR PROPERTY OR IN LARGE QUANTITIES WITHOUT
ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO
ADDRESS THE RISKS, AND THAT THE OMRON’S PRODUCT IS PROPERLY RATED AND INSTALLED FOR THE INTENDED USE WITHIN THE
OVERALL EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM.

and other materials is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitability and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the result of Omron’s
test conditions, and the user must correlate it to actual application requirements. Actual performance is subject to the Omron’s Warranty and Limitations
of Liability.
4. Change in Specifications
changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons. It is our practice to change part numbers when published ratings or features are changed,
or when significant construction changes are made. However, some specifications of the Product may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, special part numbers may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for
your application. Please consult with your Omron’s representative at any time
to confirm actual specifications of purchased Product.
