• The mounting panel must be between 1.6 and 4.8 mm thick. Tighten the Mounting Brackets evenly to

a torque of between 0.5 and 0.6 N

xm to maintain water and dust resistance. If the tightening torque

exceeds the specified value, or the tightening is not even, deformation of the front panel may occur.
What is more, make sure the panel is not dirty or warped and that it is strong enough to hold the
Units.

• Do not let metal particles enter the Units when preparing the panel.

• Do not connect an AC power supply to the DC power terminals.

• Use a DC power with a slight voltage fluctuation and that will provide a stable output even if the input

is momentarily interrupted for 10 ms.
Rated Power Supply Voltage: DC 24 V (Allowable range DC 20.4 ~ 27.6 V)

• Do not perform a dielectric voltage test.

• Making the connection by using terminal screws crimping on a twisted-pair cable with a crimping

range of 12~26 AWG, and only 6.5 mm of insulation peel of the cable needs to be peeled off. Tighten
the terminal screws at a torque of between 0.3 and 0.5 N

xm. Make sure the screws are properly

tightened.

• To prevent malfunctions caused by noise, ground the Unit correctly.

• Do not touch the packaging part of the circuit board with your bare hands. Discharge any static

electricity from your body before handling the board.

• When using the No. 6 pin of the serial communication port COM1 connector for a voltage of DC+5V,
make sure the supply equipment’s current capacity is below 250mA before using it. The DC+5V
voltage output of the NB unit is +5V±5%, and the maximum current is 250mA. (The serial
communication port COM1 of NB3Q-TW00B and NB3Q-TW01B is unable to output the current.)

• Turn OFF the power supply before connecting or disconnecting cables.

• Always keep the connector screws firmly tightened after the communication cable is connected.

• The maximum tensile load for cables is 30 N. Do not apply loads greater than this.

• Confirm the safety of the system before turning ON or OFF the power supply, or pressing the reset

button.

• The whole system may stop depending on how the power supply is turned ON or OFF. Turn ON/OFF
the power supply according to the specified procedure.

• Reset by pressing the reset button, or restart the power supply, once the DIP switch settings are
changed.

• To ensure the system’s safety, make sure to incorporate a program that can confirm the normal
functionality of the NB Unit before running the system.

• Start actual system application only after sufficiently checking screen data, macros and the operation
of the program at the host side.

• Do not press the touch panel with a force greater than 30 N.

• Do not use hard or pointed objects to operate or scrub the screen, otherwise, the surface of the

screen may be damaged.

• Confirm the safety of the system before pressing the touch panel.

• Signals from the touch switches may not be input if the touch switches are pressed consecutively at

high speed. Confirm each input before proceeding to the next one.

• Do not accidentally press the touch panel when the backlight is not lit or when the display does not
appear. Make sure of the safety of the system before pressing the touch panel.

• To use numeric input functions safely, always make maximum and minimum limit settings.

15

NB-series Programmable Terminals Startup Guide Manual(V109)

• When changing the password with the screen, do not reset or turn OFF the power supply until writing

is finished. Failure to save the password may cause the screen to fail to function.

• When using an equipment monitor, confirm the safety of the system before carrying out the following
operations:

• Changing monitor data.

• Changing operation mode.

• Forced setup/reset.

• Changing the current value or the set value.

• Do not connect a USB connector to any device that is not applicable.

• When connecting the equipment with the USB HOST connector, make sure the supply equipment’s

current capacity is below 150mA before using it. The DC+5V voltage output of the NB Unit is
+5V±5%, and the maximum current is 150mA.

• Before connecting a USB connector to a device, make sure that the device is free of damage.

• Commercially available and the recommended USB HUBs are different from the general

specifications of the NB Unit. The unit may not function well in an environment subject to noise, static
electricity. Therefore, when using a USB HUB, employ sufficient noise and static electricity insulation
measures, or install it at a site free of noise or static electricity.

• While uploading or downloading screen data or system programs, do not perform the following
operations that may corrupt the screen data or the system program:

• Turning OFF the power supply of the NB Unit.

• Pressing the PT’s reset switch.

• Dispose of the Units and batteries according to local ordinances as they apply.

• When exporting products with lithium primary batteries containing perchlorate at 6ppb or above to or

delivering them through California, USA, the following precautionary measures have to be publicized.
Perchlorate material - applicable through special processing. Refer to
http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
NB-Series products contain lithium primary batteries. When exporting products containing this kind of

NB-series Programmable Terminals Startup Guide Manual(V109)

Conformance to EC Directives

NB-Series Programmable Terminals are EMC compliant.

OMRON products are electronic devices that are incorporated in machines and manufacturing
installations. OMRON PTs conform to the related EMC Directives (see note) so that the devices and
machines into which they are built can more easily conform to EMC Directives. The actual products
have been through inspections and are completely in accordance with EMC directives. However, when
they are built into customers’ systems, whether the systems also comply with these Directives is up to
the customers for further inspection.

EMC-related performance of OMRON PTs will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other
conditions of the OMRON equipment or control panel. The customer must, therefore, perform final
checks to confirm that the overall machine or device conforms to EMC standards.

Note The applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:

EMS (Electromagnetic sensitivity): EN61131-2: 2007
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN61131-2: 2007

NB-Series Programmable Terminals are EC compliant. Heed the following precautions in order to
ensure that the customer’s overall machine and device conform to EC Directives.

1

The PT must be installed in a control panel.

2

You must use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power supply and the DC
power supply must have minimal voltage fluctuations and provide a stable output even if the

power supply input is interrupted for 10 ms.

3

The PTs conform to the standard EN 61131-2, but radiated emission characteristics (10m
regulations) may vary depending on the configuration of the control panel used, other devices

connected to the control panel, wiring, and other conditions. You must therefore confirm that the
overall machine or equipment complies with EC Directives.

4

This is a Class A product (Product for industry purpose). It may cause radio interference in
residential areas, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures to reduce

interference.

z Serial Port COM1

• NB5Q/NB7W/NB10W-TWB

Serial port COM1 is a 9-pin D-type socket port. This port supports RS-232C communication
function, making it connectable to a controller which features RS-232C function, and it can also be
used for downloading programs or debugging for the product.

The pins are defined as follows:

Precautions for Safe Use

When using the No. 6 pin of the serial communications port COM1 connector for a voltage of
DC+5V, make sure the supply equipment’s current capacity is below 250 mA before using it. The
DC+5V voltage output of the NB Unit is +5V±5%, and the maximum current is 250 mA.

• NB3Q-TWB
NB3Q-TWB has only 1 serial port COM1, and this port supports communication based on

RS-232C, RS-422 and RS-485, of which only 1 connection mode can be applied at one time. By
means of the RS-232C mode (PIN 2~5), it can be connected to a controller based on RS-232C,
and can also be used for downloading programs, as well as debugging for the product (connected
to a PC). While with the RS-422 or the RS-485 mode (PIN 1, PIN 6~8), only a PLC can be
connected.

The pins are defined as follows:

* Pins 4 and 5 are not used, thus not compliant with RS or CS functions.
