Conformance to EC Directives
This product is EMC compliant.
z
Concepts
OMRON products are electronic devices that are incorporated in machines and
manufacturing installations. OMRON Industrial PCs 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. However, customers may use a wide variety
of equipment and manufacturing installations. Therefore the customer must check
whether the Directives are satisfied for the actual system. EMC-related performance
will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the equipment
or control panel in which the Industrial PC is installed. The customer must, therefore,
perform final checks to confirm that the overall machine or device conforms to EMC
standards.
Note: Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:
EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): EN 61131-2
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN 61131-2
(EN 61131-2 radiated emission: 10-m regulations)
z
Conformance to EC Directives
NSA-series Industrial PCs conform to EC Directives. To ensure that the machine or
device in which the NSA-series
Industrial PC is used complies with EC Directives, the
Industrial PC must be installed as follows:
• The NSA-series
Industrial PC must be installed in a control panel.
• 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.
• NSA-series
Industrial PCs complying with EC Directives also conform to the
Common Emission Standard (EN 61131-2). Radiated emission characteristics
(10-m 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.
• This is a class A product. It may cause radio interference in residential areas, in
which case the user may be required to take adequate measures to reduce
interference.
• Use a PCI Board that complies with the EMC Directive. If a PCI Board that does
not comply with the EMC Directive is used, there are certain measures that the
user must take.
• For the Memory Card, use only a CF Card that has the CE Marking.

Note 1: This contrast value is strictly a reference value at maximum contrast.
2: The contrast cannot be adjusted significantly.
3: It is not the service life, but rather lamp failure due to hardware problems such as a broken
wire that is detected. Backlight not lit detection means both backlight lamps have burnt out.
4: The service life is a guideline for maximum contrast at an ambient temperature around the
cold cathode of 25
°C. It is provided strictly for reference. It varies significantly with the
ambient temperature. The service life will be shorter under extreme (high or low)
temperature conditions and falls off sharply particularly under low-temperature conditions.
5: The service life is a guideline that is provided strictly for reference. It varies with factors
such as the installation location and operating conditions.
6: The file system is formatted in advance with NTFS. Both C and D drives have been created
as partitions. The D drive is used by the OS and RAS Utility to store the event logs.
