Installation Environment
This product is capable for use in the environment of pollution degree 2
*1
or equivalent.
*1 Pollution Degree 2 : Environment that may cause non-conductive pollution or transient conductive
pollution by frost (IEC60664-1).
1. Installation Environment
Do not use this product in the following environment.
•
Location where the surrounding air temperature exceeds the range of 0 to 40
°
C
•
Location where condensation occurs due to abrupt temperature changes
•
Location where relative humidity exceeds 85%RH
•
Location exposed to corrosive gases or combustible gases
•
Location exposed to significant amount of dust, salt or iron powder
•
Location subject to direct vibration or impact
•
Location exposed to direct sunlight
•
Location where the product may come in contact with water, oil or chemical droplets
•
Environment that blocks the air vent [Refer to 1.7 Noise Elimination and Mounting Method]
When using the product in any of the locations specified below, provide a sufficient shield.
•
Location subject to electrostatic noise
•
Location where high electrical or magnetic field is present
•
Location with the mains or power lines passing nearby
2. Storage and Preservation Environment
•
Storage and preservation environment follows the installation environment. Especially in a long-term storage,
consider to avoid condensation of surrounding air.
Unless specially specified, moisture absorbency protection is not included in the package when the machine is
delivered. In the case that the machine is to be stored in an environment where dew condensation is anticipated, take
the condensation preventive measures from outside of the entire package, or directly after opening the package.
Installation and Noise Elimination
1. Noise Elimination Grounding (Frame Ground)
2. Precautions regarding wiring method
1) Wire is to be twisted for the 24V DC power supply.
2) Separate the signal and encoder lines from the power supply and
power lines.
3. Noise Sources and Elimination
Carry out noise elimination measures for electrical devices on the same
power path and in the same equipment.
The following are examples of measures to eliminate noise sources.
1) AC solenoid valves, magnet switches and relays
[Measure] Install a Surge absorber parallel with the coil.
2) DC solenoid valves, magnet switches and relays
[Measure] Mount the windings and diodes in parallel. Select a diode
built-in type for the DC relay.
4. Cooling Factors and Installation
Design and Build the system considering the size of the controller box, location of the Gateway Unit and cooling factors to
keep the ambient temperature around the Gateway Unit below 40
°
C.
Pay a special attention to the battery unit since the performance of it would drop both in the low and high temperatures.
Keep it in an environment in the room temperature as much as possible. (Approximately 20
°
C is the recommended
temperature.)
For the Gateway attachment, affix it on the DIN rail. For the attachment of the battery box, use the 4
attachment holes on each corner of the unit or affix it on the DIN rail.
