Install it in a well-ventilated location that provides easy access for inspection. The location must also satisfy the
following conditions:
•Inside an enclosure that is installed indoors (provide vent holes)
•Operating ambient temperature 0 to +40 °C (+32 to +104 °F) (non-freezing)
•Operating ambient humidity 85% or less (non-condensing)
•Area that is free of explosive atmosphere or toxic gas (such as sulfuric gas) or liquid
•Area not exposed to direct sun
•Area free of excessive amount of dust, iron particles or the like
•Area not subject to splashing water (rain, water droplets), oil (oil droplets) or other liquids
•Area free of excessive salt
•Area not subject to continuous vibration or excessive shocks
•Area free of excessive electromagnetic noise (from welders, power machinery, etc.)
•Area free of radioactive materials, magnetic elds or vacuum

Power supply
This network converter is a product of DC power supply input.
Use a DC power supply (switching power supply etc.) that conforms to the EMC Directive.
Noise lter
•Connect a noise lter in the DC power supply input to prevent the noise generated in the
propagating externally through the power supply line.
•When using a power supply transformer, be sure to connect a noise lter to the AC input side of the power supply
transformer.
•For a noise lter, use HF2010A-UPF (SOSHIN ELECTRIC CO., LTD), FN2070-10-06 (Schaner EMC) or equivalent
product.
•Install the noise lter as close to the AC input terminal of DC power supply as possible. Use cable clamps and other
means to secure the AC input cables (AWG18: 0.75 mm
rmly to the surface of the enclosure.
•Connect the ground terminal of the noise lter to the grounding point, using as thick and short a wire as possible.
•Do not place the AC input cable parallel with the noise lter output cable. Parallel placement will reduce noise lter
eectiveness if the enclosure’s internal noise is directly coupled to the power supply cable by means of stray
capacitance.

•When relays or electromagnetic switches are used together with the system, use noise lters and CR circuits to
suppress surges generated by them.
•Keep cables as short as possible without coiling and bundling extra lengths.
•Place the power cables such as the motor and power supply cables as far as 100 mm (3.94 in.) from the signal
